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.

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
