PRs & Updates

Note: AnonComms and Storage have reported. Messaging, Blockchain, and Logos Core sections will be added as their updates land.

Key Highlights

AnonComms

LIONESS-based Sphinx payload encryption implemented for the libp2p mix protocol, preserving message integrity end-to-end.

AnonComms

Payment streams on-chain spec published as a LIP and end-to-end Store integration demo presented at Townhall.

AnonComms

Doc packet published for sending sender-anonymous messages over the testnet-0.2 mix network via Logos Chat, routed sender-unlinkably through a 3-hop mixnet.

AnonComms

Zerokit v3.0.0 rearchitecture progresses — PR12 and PR13 merged into develop/v3.0.0; PR14 covering docs and cleanup in flight.

AnonComms

RLN module ported to the Logos Core Rust SDK; Keycard device key explored as an authentication method for acquiring RLN membership.

Storage

Hidden-service-over-Mix simulator built — extended the mix simulator from the ACM paper with a hidden-service model using guards and vanguards (hs-mix-sim).

Storage

Kicked off an effort to centralise all Logos Storage documentation into a Docusaurus site with C/C++/OpenAPI reference generation; prototype live.

Establish libp2p mixnet

^

Modify Sphinx payload encryption to preserve payload integrity

Achieved Next
  • Test by integrating with Logos Delivery

Specify and implement extended DoS and exit node abuse protection for libp2p mix

Achieved
  • Fixed the clientMode implementation so the chat app no longer advertises itself as a mix node
  • Researched non-RLN alternatives for DoS protection (Tor guards/PoW, Loopix and Nym gateway rate limiting, Nomos Blend's Proof-of-Quota + Proof-of-Selection)
  • Investigated a candidate sender-side quota + provable-selection design; identified a SURB header bloat issue similar to sender-generated RLN
Next
  • Address any other errors/issues observed
  • Write up the RLN-vs-alternatives comparison as a research note; unblock and rebase the stake-weighted RLN spec

Develop service incentivisation

^

Specify on-chain component for payment protocol

Achieved
  • Merged LIP PR 299, adding an on-chain component section and overall improvements to the LIP-155 payment streams spec
  • Published the on-chain specification for the payment protocol as a LIP
Next
  • Further updates depend on upcoming milestones (TBD)

Implement MVP payment protocol

Achieved Next
  • Further work depends on upcoming milestones

Deliver de-MLS for p2p group messaging

Specify and implement RLN membership allocation service

Achieved
  • Ported the RLN module to the Logos Core Rust SDK

Next
  • Integrate Keycard with the simulation
  • Draft specs for the RLN membership management module

Create a basic capability discovery module

^

Integrate and dogfood capability discovery in Logos Delivery

Next
  • Consolidate on the appropriate approach and move forward

Hidden Services Over Mix

^

Hidden service simulator over Mix

Achieved
  • Improved the mix simulator from the reference paper and implemented a hidden-service model to simulate a hidden service over mix with guards and vanguards
  • Simulator repository: hs-mix-sim (NEW)
Next
