Highlights

• Mix key rotation for forward secrecy is taking shape, with a spec PR and a first implementation PR covering the key ring and candidate-key processing.
• The Logos Oracle Network design now includes a dispute mechanism with an end-to-end flow, published for discussion in a forum post and the updated specification PR.
• A combined Mix and Delivery module architecture has been proposed, enabling the Logos Mix module to act as entry and exit node for Logos Delivery.

Create a basic service discovery module

• Simplify the service discovery module API

  • achieved: API modification and structure discussed and agreed
  • next: implement the simplified API

• Benchmark service discovery performance in Logos Delivery

  • next: define various stress scenarios in a local simulated environment and measure discovery latencies

Establish libp2p mixnet

• Specify and implement basic key rotation for forward secrecy

  • achieved: opened the Mix key rotation spec PR and the Mix key rotation implementation PR with key ring and candidate-key processing (library only)
  • next: finish the mix key rotation implementation

• Specify and implement Poisson-rate cover traffic generation

  • next: open the Poisson-rate cover traffic spec PR

• Simplify the Logos Mix module architecture and use it as entry and exit node for Logos Delivery

  • achieved: proposed a mix+delivery module architecture after various discussions
  • next: proposal for a peer and connection management interface for mix and delivery

Deliver de-MLS for p2p group messaging

• Harden the de-MLS integration in libchat
  • achieved: went through SDS and planned test suites for catching the problem
  • next: specify the ordering policy for libchat and start working on the code

Implement RLN membership allocation service

• Standalone RLN membership allocation service module with end-to-end membership allocation

  • achieved: made signer-based authentication vectors more modular and composable
  • next: journey for deploying an allocation service and developing an authentication vector

• Specify and implement RLN on-chain memberships and accounting compatible with Logos zones and LEZ

  • achieved:
    • built a working PoC of an RLN Zone with an HTTP endpoint exposed for the RLN module; working on the private transaction handling logic
    • working on a proposal to simplify the unuse operation in the LEZ program
    • created a repo skeleton to consolidate all RLN-related repos in one place
    • removed the Merkle tree from the LEZ registry and added events that can be picked up by the RLN Zone
    • proof-of-concept of modules that use the RLN Zone for latest roots and proof data
  • next:
    • concretise the proposal and open a discussion thread
    • RLN data module with service discovery that allows querying root/proof data as a libp2p protocol

Decentralised Oracle Network

• Extend price fetching to multiple independent sources

  • achieved: Coinbase and Uniswap price fetching working and unit tested; median price computed
  • next: end-to-end testing

• Update the LON specification

  • achieved:
    • reflected the new findings from the offsite in the dispute mechanism PR, including the e2e flow
    • published the latest design in a forum post
  • next: address feedback to merge the PR

Maintain and expand Zerokit

• Zerokit maintenance
  • achieved:
    • created an AGENTS.md file documenting Zerokit-specific context for LLM-based agents
    • reviewed the agents file PR; working on security rules for the agents file
  • next:
    • address PR comments
    • start using the agents file with Claude
