2026-09-14 Logos storage weekly

Week 37 2026 (Mon Sep 7 - Fri Sep 11, 2026)

Our hidden services simulator is complete, with reference path selectors and scripts to reproduce the research results. We ran experiments across different configurations and threat models.
We are documenting a set of RLN optimizations that should reduce single-core proving time from 200 ms to 15 ms, with a preprint planned.

achieved:
- Mix Transport
  - testing, debugging and analysis under multiple netem profiles
  - merged testing harness branch and aligned on the changes introduced there (e.g. connect concurrency handling)
  - integration with block exchange protocol
    - first draft implementation pushed
  - initial work on adapting the existing Logos storage testing harness for Mix transport tests
next:
- Mix Transport
  - reviewing and refactoring the integration with the block exchange protocol
  - hardening and fixing problems we discover through testing

achieved:
- finished work on the hidden services simulator, and made scripts to easily validate results.
- reference implementation for the path selectors and used them to run multiple experiments with different configuration and threat models.
next:
- second iteration on the path selection spec and requested reviews.
- continue work on the hidden service spec with the specified path selection strategy.

achieved:
- measurable progress on documenting the more hardcore RLN optimizations (200ms -> 15ms proving time, single core)
- coordinating with the Zerokit team about the Poseidon2 hash function conventions
next:
- finish documenting the RLN optims (this should result in a preprint, as that seems to be most applicable format)

achieved:
- Moved the configuration migration feature to the Storage Module (PR) in order to provide a way for consumers (UI, logosctl, basecamp) to refresh the configuration after an update.
- Applied this move on Storage UI (PR).
- Added a configuration option to not advertise content (PR).
- Started the work of adding Storage Module as optional dependency into Package Downloader Module after the logos module builder shipped the feature.
next:
- Complete the optional dependency integration work for Package Downloader Module and Basecamp
- Bring all the differents PRs together and work on Storage UI to filter the LGX packages

achieved:
- Fixed a cross compilation issue in BoringSSL (PR).
- Fixed a path issue and setup cross compilation in CI in leveldb (PR).
- Added support for submodules in Logos Windows CI (PR).
- Refined the Windows PR and fixed several issues (PR).
next:
- Work on Windows support for Storage Module and UI.
