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.

Status Integration

Large Data Transport Layer for Mix

Hidden Services Over Mix

  • 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?

E2E Testing

RLN Improvements

  • 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

Integration with Logos Core

  • 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

NAT Traversal

  • achieved:
    • Manual testing
    • Setup integration testing using podman environment
  • next:
    • Finish manual testing
    • Apply first review comments
