PPoS / Consensus / DA §
Research §
- Analyzed the leader election and blockchain growth processes in the Ouroboros consensus. Derived an equation for blockchain growth of a node using the most general chain selection rule, which further enabled the derivation of a chain length equation for a node. To test this general framework, analyzed the “longest chain” rule and derived an equation for the maximum chain length in an ideal scenario (where all chains are available to a node and no adversarial nodes exist). Details are available in this document.
- Finalized the Cryptarchia Fork Choice rule (pending review): notion spec and exec spec.
Development §
Mixnet §
Research §
- Designed a basic reward mechanism for the Mixnet using a ticket system. Code is available on GitHub.
- Streamlined the blendnet simulation to improve usability. Instructions are included in the manual.
- Addressed all comments in the blendnet documentation.
- Added a new section to the introduction, detailing message flow.
- Included a new section in Tier 1, describing the inefficient hiding properties of drop messages.
Development §
Coordination Layer §
Research §
- Initiated a Proof-of-Concept for note teleportation. Basic note proof is completed. Work in progress is being tracked on this branch, with rapid updates ongoing.
- Continued work on Sync Composability in the Partitioned Ledger CL Model.
