Highlights

• A finality extension for SDS to support de-MLS commit ordering has been proposed, with a draft spec and reference repo open for discussion.
• The RLN program now supports different rate limits per instance, and the RLN module and membership allocation service can manage memberships across multiple registries, paving the way for a second registry dedicated to mix memberships.

Deliver de-MLS for p2p group messaging

• [Build de-MLS commit ordering on SDS](Build de-MLS commit ordering on SDS)
  • achieved:
    • proposed a finality extension on SDS, with a repo and draft spec; also iterated on the discussion of SDS capabilities, as SDS may work as is without this extension
    • reviewed the finality extension and suggested an interface for it for chat
  • next:
    • follow the discussions and SDS simulations to check whether the extension is needed; if so, revisit later
    • awaiting feedback before moving to implementation

Implement RLN membership allocation service

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

  • achieved: the RLN membership allocation service module supports multiple registries
