<li>Started the investigation of the mixnet participation problem. We have looked at Nym and how they constructed a mechanism for populating the mixnet. We extracted the design and described it in detail <ahref="https://www.notion.so/Populating-Mixnet-in-Nym-0777455a18c5431f8fa2c56a2e1154b5"class="external">here</a>. In short, they require the mixnet nodes to register on-chain; once there, they are randomly selected using weight as stake (plus delegated stake), and rewards are paid based on the mix node performance.</li>
<li>Fixed the race for nomos log service <ahref="https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/577"class="external">PR</a>.</li>
<li>Nomos-cli: Integrated the explorer into the nomos-cli in one <ahref="https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/578"class="external">PR</a> with the integration tests coming in <ahref="https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/tree/integration-for-explorer"class="external">another one</a> once it is unblocked (blocked due to the <code>sled</code> dependency).</li>
<li>New details have been added to the Cryptarchia specification: <ahref="https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-specs/pull/63"class="external">the epoch transition</a>, <ahref="https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-specs/pull/64"class="external">nonce specification</a>, <ahref="https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-specs/pull/69"class="external">orphan proofs validation</a>, <ahref="https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-specs/pull/68"class="external">leader lottery VRF details</a>, <ahref="https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-specs/pull/65"class="external">leader coin evolution</a>. With these additions, the <ahref="https://www.notion.so/Cryptarchia-Specifications-a11d16a37c81452a8c89a94ced3ceef5"class="external">Cryptarchia v1</a> is now ready internally.</li>
<li>The impact of approximate total stake (total stake underestimation/overestimation) <ahref="https://www.notion.so/Impacts-of-Approximate-Total-Stake-1b9a248b222449c68c70fb645a733b03"class="external">document</a> has been finalized and summarized. Awaiting internal review. For the mathematical analysis and results, please check the <ahref="https://www.overleaf.com/project/656dfacf4929b4a3d6d2ffe5"class="external">Overleaf document</a>.</li>
<li>We have considered adversarial statistical inference of relative stake when the Ouroboros Crypsinous lottery function is used in the leader election process while assuming that only a fraction of election results are observed. For this scenario, we also derived a statistical estimator of relative stake. The analysis of the (naive) statistical estimator is currently in progress. The summary of this work is provided <ahref="https://www.notion.so/De-anonymisation-of-relative-stake-5b48f86bba3845c98f9b16f952307998"class="external">here</a> while the detailed analysis can be found <ahref="https://www.overleaf.com/project/656dfacf4929b4a3d6d2ffe5"class="external">here</a>.</li>

<li>Added a chapter about the “stake relativization algorithm” to the “Does Crypsinous’ Leader Election Function lead to wealth concentration in PoS?” <ahref="https://www.notion.so/Does-Crypsinous-Leader-Election-Function-lead-to-wealth-concentration-in-PoS-b81f07a791b745438443f51f00ac258f#1df422f6cc204cb8b362f41cda260b8b"class="external">document</a>.</li>
