Tokenomics spec fixes merged: leader reward share rounded down and voucher domain-separation tag aligned logos-lips#395
Fast Bootstrapping dropped from the release scope: merkle-tree structure migration reverted #3249
blockchain:bedrock:research:total-stake-inference
Total Stake Inference report consolidated: countable uncle model adopted and selfish-mining repair revised research#1; fork-loss claims validated at the deployed operating point (in-review) research#2
Dandelion++ reviewed and evaluated experimentally against the single-path communication model with Bayesian sender attribution metrics: doc, doc
Mix-net Bayesian inference attack numerical complexity modelled (cost, time, and memory); per-message link jitter added on top of the quenched link law, with the SNR redefined and the attack likelihood corrected doc
Peering-degree privacy analysis started: compact abstract model of the Blend anonymous communication system doc and adversarial models for Block-Proposer Unlinkability doc outlined
blockchain:bedrock:research:cross-zone-sequencing
Costly Abort Mechanism working demo built in the Logos Execution Zone environment, scoped to two sequencers and inscription operations; the three core spec paths validated: happy path, fallback submission, and false challenge code
Compressed Block Proposal implemented: block proposal serialization aligned between code and spec #3243, full transaction hash references replaced with prefixes #3251, compressed proposals supported in Blend #3258
Proof of Quota quotas and key indexes moved to dedicated types that enforce the circuit-required bit sizes at compile time #3275
Public header verification benchmarks (in-review) #3278
blockchain:bedrock:eng:node
EmPoWering implementation merged: ClaimPowReward core operation, verification, and execution #3202 and Proof of Work Mantle ledger state tracking #3248; rewards disabled until full integration
Uncle references implemented across the stack (in-review): uncle headers carried and committed by body_root#3281, reference window in config #3282, uncle selection when proposing #3283, uncle verification when applying blocks #3284, distinct occupied-slot counting for Total Stake Inference #3285
SignedOp typestate groundwork continued: basic SignedOp implementation merged #3245; gas constants redesigned to fit the new flow (in-review) #3273; Op/SignedOp/MantleTx naming standardised (in-review) #3274
Overwatch service-readiness test flakiness fixed Overwatch#148
blockchain:bedrock:eng:testing
Testing Framework improvements merged: local binaries resolved asynchronously to avoid blocking the async runtime logos-blockchain-testing#60, local-cluster monitor and resource cleanup hooks logos-blockchain-testing#61, published node release binaries usable in local deployments #3250
Sequencer self-join specs reworked in a second iteration, no longer depending on inscriptions and config updates in the same Mantle transaction doc; implementation finalized with an end-to-end integration test covering stake-based joining and unstake-based leaving (in-review) #653
