**Research**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Milestone 1: Understanding Data Availability (DA) Problem
|
||
|
|
- High-level exploration and discussion on data availability problems in a collaborative offsite meeting in Paris.
|
||
|
|
- Explored the necessity and key challenges associated with DA.
|
||
|
|
- In-depth study of Verifiable Information Dispersal (VID) as it relates to data availability.
|
||
|
|
- **Blocker:** The experimental tests for our specific EC scheme are pending, which is blocking progress to make final decision on KZG + commitments for our architecture.
|
||
|
|
- Milestone 2: Privacy for Proof of Stake (PoS)
|
||
|
|
- Analyzed the capabilities and limitations of mixnets, specifically within the context of timing attacks in private PoS.
|
||
|
|
- Invested time in understanding timing attacks and how Nym mixnet caters to these challenges.
|
||
|
|
- Reviewed the Crypsinous paper to understand its privacy vulnerabilities, notably the issue with probabilistic leader election and the vulnerability of anonymous broadcast channels to timing attacks.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Development**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Milestone 1: Mixnet and Networking
|
||
|
|
- Initiated integration of libp2p to be used as the full node's backend, planning to complete in the next phase.
|
||
|
|
- Begun planning for the next steps for mixnet integration, with a focus on understanding the components of the Nym mixnet, its problem-solving mechanisms, and the potential for integrating some of its components into our codebase.
|
||
|
|
- Milestone 2: Simulation Application
|
||
|
|
- Completed pseudocode for Carnot Simulator, created a test pseudocode, and provided a detailed description of the simulation. The relevant resources can be found at the following links:
