Blockers to testnet-2
See complete view in
Charging for deploys creates conflicting blocks. Planning to resolve this with the implementation of peek, the ability to look at a value without logging a change. This was unplanned work. Current estimate is 3 weeks.
Risks to code completion for Mercury
Addition of peek implementation to the requirements required to provide cost accounting.
Addition of work in Rholang to address bloat in the tuplespace.
Consensus
Reminder, there will be no faucet after the release of RNode v0.9.8. If you rely on this feature as part of your development, please make plans now to use another process for funding vault.
Foundational work in progress for validator bonding and unbonding.
PR in review to validate process for converting ETH address to REV_Vault address to issue REV at genesis.
Node
Fairness property work completed last week and will be part of community test this week.
Excellent progress working through the backlog of bugs and optimizations.
Additional work this sprint to support other teams with metrics.
Rholang
Taking a new approach on work to deliver cost accounting with addition of another dev to help investigate and debug failing casper tests.
PRs in review for implementations of a basic lock and readers-writers lock to support resolution to two bugs.
Work in progress to make use of the on-chain deploy and deployer ID with a REV_Vault.
RSpace
Ahead of schedule for implementing peek in RSpace. Anticipate completion by early next week. RSpace team will provide support to bring peak to both Rholang and consensus starting next sprint.
Draft PR in for
Work in progress to train Kayvan on the performance test harness, peek, and Drone in order to build depth on the team and provide better coverage.
SRE
Orchestrator complete for one of the hardening networks.
Whiteblock work blocked by migration to secp256k1 and unblocking in progress.
