    • Additional mergeability designs being considered.
  • Hardening
    • Planning a combination of Scala property /and law testing + generative tests + formal methods to get high coverage in a cost-effective manner.
    • Enhancing the exception handling framework to have better logs to identify quickly as well as 
  • Planning to improve upon and simplify tools and documentation for dApp developers. 
    • Identified a set of tools that exchanges are interested in such as block explorer. Will develop in coordination with the community.
    • Restarting Rcat (digital asset management) work to rebase on current code base. This should help dApp developers as well as help debug/harden the code base by exercising it.
    • Identified initial documentation needs for exchanges + developers, will be working on these.
    • To allow for varied needs of dApp developers, planning to split Testnet 3  into Testnet3-Stable (with less frequent updates) and Testnet3-Latest .
  • Starting to capture some performance data, working with community members. 
  • Refactoring, Optimizations and bug fixes, hardening - ongoing
