2026-06-22 Logos storage weekly

Week 25 2026 (Mon June 15 - Fri June 19, 2026)

After implementing several variationsof the Dynark paper idea, we have demonstrated it to be possible to run RLN proof times as low as 15 msecs; i.e., 13x faster than the original, and 4x faster than our previous optimizations.
Our NAT traversal package is complete: this week, we have for the first time successfully transferred files over NATted nodes using TCP hole punching.

achieved:
- PR feat: logos storage for History Archives status-go/pull/7486 - approved, but because the build system is quite flaky, we created another PR that we need to merge first so that 7486 reliably be merged:
  - PR fix: more robust clone targets for nim-sds and logos-storage native builds
  - it is very time consuming and the fact that the status-go team seems to be very busy, it is hard to align everything in place
next:
- we will still need a PR to bump the version of lib storage, but this does not have the highest priority right now.

achieved:
- Worked on a research post summarizing the draft Tor-style hidden service spec.
next:
- Finalize and publish the research post.
- Research the Guard protocol over Mix, model the hidden service, and run simulation to understand the expected anonymity.

achieved:
- Diagnosed degraded logos.test bootstrap fleet issues: https://github.com/logos-storage/logos-storage-nim/issues/1455
- Bootstrap monitoring: daily health check https://github.com/logos-storage/logos-storage-nim/pull/1460
next:
- After the logos.test fleet node configs were updated with the correct external ips, the network presets need to be updated with the new SPRs.

achieved:
- implemented several variations of the Dynark paper idea in nim-groth16, with multiple improvements over the paper version
- with these optimizations + some circuit optimization, achieved 15 msec RLN proof time, single-threaded (compared to the original 200 msec full Groth16); that is, achieving a 13x speedup vs. the original, and more than 4x speedup vs. the recently optimized prover
next:
- write a paper about the improvements
- convince the Zerokit people about using this :)
- port to Rust

achieved:
- Hardened togglePrivateQueries: returns Result, refuses to enable when mix isn’t configured. Default-enable in start now skips when no DHT proxy is configured, so mix relay + DHT proxy-only nodes start cleanly.
- Added cap for max connections and max inflight in mix relay dht. Also allowed it to run as a mix relay node only.
next:
- Test mix scaling performance in the DO cluster

achieved:
- Update documentation and setup versioning
- Improve the doctest and setup the hub test integration
- Started to work on Mix feature integration
- feat: expose storage metrics to openmetrics
  - feat: add metrics collector endpoint to libstorage
next:
- Continue to integrate Mix for Logos Storage Module and UI
- Provide more doctest tutorials for Logos Storage Module and UI

achieved:
- Complete manual testing and integration scenario
- Apply first review suggestions
next:
- Wait for more review
