weekly","links":[],"tags":["team-updates"],"content":"Logos Lab 11th of August §\nCurrently working on the Waku Objects prototype, which is a modular system for transactional chat objects.\nWe merged the group chat but it surfaced plenty of issues that were not a problem with 1on1 chats, both with our Waku integration and from product perspective as well. Spent the bigger part of the week with fixing these. We also registered a new domain, wakuplay.im where the latest version is deployed. It uses the Gnosis chain for transactions and currently the xDai and Gno tokens are supported, but it is easy to add other ERC-20 tokens now.\nNext milestone: Splitter Waku Object supporting group chats and smart contracts\nThis will be the first Waku Object that is meaningful in a group chat context. Also this will demonstrate how to use smart contracts and multiparty transactions. The design is ready and the implementaton has started.\nNext milestone: Basic Waku Objects website\nWork started toward having a structure for a website and the content is shaping up nicely. The implementation has been started on it as well.\nDeployed version of the main branch:\nhttps://www.wakuplay.im/\nMain development repo:\nhttps://github.com/logos-innovation-lab/waku-objects-playground\nContact:\nYou can find us at https://discord.com/channels/973324189794697286/1118949151225413872 or join our discord at https://discord.gg/eaYVgSUG"},"insight/business-analysis/index":{"title":"Insight Business Analysis Overview","links":[],"tags":[],"content":"insight:business-analysis: §\n\ndatalake-repo-ingestion §\nreal-opt-keycard §"},"insight/dao/index":{"title":"Insight DAO Overview","links":[],"tags":[],"content":"insight:dao: §\n\nspiff-process-growth §\nspiff-bounty-experiment §"},"insight/index":{"title":"Insight Team Overview","links":["insight/dao/","insight/project-reporting/","insight/business-analysis/"],"tags":[],"content":"insight: §\n\nDescription §\nThe insight team acts as a glue within the Logos Collective.

Then this “unseen” vote will block the possibility of reconstructing the most common committee_vote, and at the same time prove that other shadows have voted. The solution for that is to propagate a map of seen votes upstream alongside the vote, this enables the higher committee to select only the votes that are most commonly seen for building the committee_vote thus making that kind of malicious behavior detectable.\nImproving the PPoS description: working on selecting proper naming conventions, as currently there are voters, shadows, coins which are confusing. That is done in pair with revising the logic.\n\n\ndata availability: §\nresearch: §\n\nA draft for private DA can be found here: https://www.notion.so/Data-Availability-Specification-c3961b681eba4ccdab2be9181e4207b4?d=d4e8d1bcd6224682ba74737100106e48#0c70202794214cbab626e51f7f1f7c24\n\ndevelopment: §\n\nBlobs in block: https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/368\nDA service architecture: https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/376\nDa service backend implementation: https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/381\n"},"nomos/updates/2023-09-19":{"title":"2023-09-19 Nomos weekly","links":[],"tags":["nomos-updates"],"content":"nomos: §\n\nnetwork privacy and mixnet: §\nresearch: §\n\nReview of the “Untraceable electronic mail, return addresses, and digital pseudonyms” paper.

However, some of them (like how exactly to aggregate votes) must yet to be defined.\nHastiness issues: In short, the leader, in order to limit the cost of vote aggregation can decide to not to include votes from top committees (and root in particular). This is an acceptable strategy and will lead to a correctly formed aggregation proof. The proof will include a global threshold of votes from lower committees but not from the top committees (and root committee in particular). The impact of this leader’s hastiness does not break the security of the protocol as a threshold of votes is correctly gathered. However, it may limit rewards from the top committees (and root in particular), as the votes from those committees may not be needed to reach the threshold.

Iterations on spec parlance and further enhancements will be covered in future milestones.\nThe goal we want to aim for is to take down and completely get rid of https://specs.status.im/ and its accompanying repo https://github.com/status-im/specs , so that all Status protocol specs are in the https://github.com/vacp2p/rfc repo\nTasks:\n\ndetermine which specs from https://specs.status.im/ are still relevant as protocol specs, and which old specs are no longer relevant and can be discarded\nout of the still relevant protocol specs that haven’t yet been moved over to the Vac RFC repo, update these specs as needed and move them into the Vac RFC repo\nonce done, take down https://specs.status.im/ and archive the https://github.com/vacp2p/rfc repo\n\nThe new Status website will have a ‘Specs’ section inside the ‘Developers’ part of the website, and this Specs section will pull in and render all specs from https://rfc.vac.dev/ with “STATUS-” in their title.\nNote that feature specs should NOT be added to the Vac RFC repo, only protocol specs should go here.\nRFCs to be moved / updates:\n\n(todo add RFCs we already ported)\n6/PAYLOADS (needs significant update)\n2/ACCOUNT\n16/Keycard (discuss with keycard team)\n16/Push-Notifications (raw, needs update)\n10/waku-usage (outdated, check if we need that, update to Waku 2 if makes sense)\n\nout of scope? §\n\n14/Dapp browser API usage (this is not part of chat SDK, is this still a RFC? API doc would be more fitting here.)\n13/3RD-PARTY (investigate, most likely out-of-scope as it is not a protocol spec)\n8/EIPS (clarify if we have to port this → this should not be an RFC, needs constant updates, link EIPS in RFCs where needed)\n\nstable - deprecated §\n(just copy these; confirm this is OK)\n\n4/whisper-mailserver\n11/Waku-Mailserver\n\nJustification §\nDeliverables
