Week 24 2026 (Mon June 08 - Fri June 12, 2026) §
Highlights §
- We have successfully conducted our first file transfers using NAT connection reversal, and demonstrated that Identify/AutoNAT is effective at guessing external IPs and node connectivity. This should make node setup significantly simpler, particularly once we get hole punching in place;
- first implementation of the results from the Dynark paper looks promising - turns out the approach can be significantly improved, and we’re working on it.
- achieved:
- next
- waiting for one more approval from infra team/incorporating potential review comments
- achieved:
- settled down on the discussion regarding the operational mode of the MIX protocol
- working on the PRs:
- next:
- experimenting with basic Mix Transport implementation for Logos Storage
- bumping libp2p to the next release 2.0.1.
- achieved:
- randevous point draft spec (needed because single SURBs are very unsafe for the user of the SURB; they can be trivially de-anonymized)
- realized that Mix doesn’t provide strong enough anonymity for a hidden service’s IP address not to leak over time
- next:
- figure out what de-anonymizing of hidden services means in practice, whether they even make any sense?
- achieved:
- Force pod spread to one per node. Created a VPC to avoid external IP quota exhaustion with nodes.
- achieved:
- first working implementation of the Dynark paper
- found several significant improvements over the paper version, some of which is already implemented in the above
- next:
- experiment with the remaining improvements and variations
- achieved:
- Update to last version of Logos Module builder done
- next:
- Update documentation and setup versioning
- Integrate Mix feature
- Improve the doctest and setup the hub test integration
- achieved:
- Manual testing
- Setup integration testing using podman environment
- next:
- Finish manual testing
- Apply first review comments
