---
## **Overview/Priorities**
- Al departure
- Short term - We need to stabilise, Al brought a lot of value, we may have to step up a little bit, will meet with Carl and Jarrad weekly.
- Long term - positive changes internally, open culture, open feedback, etc.
- Townhalls - Christian will be point of contact. With Santiago to support. The idea is plan 3-6 months in advance.
- Comms strategy - Adjusting it to be more strategic and concise. with focus on Brand Awareness & BU Needs, measuring Impact & clear timeline.
- Virtual office - Available for anyone to join Santiago and Ned to discuss, ask questions, hangout.
- To team leads: please implement feedback mechanisms that are safe for people. Open up first about shortcomings and promote healthy criticism and exchange. Copy the After Action Review model if necessary for each project delivery and a regular one at your discretion. We want to be better together and trust each other. It is a marker of a successful organisation.
## **Amir - Tech & Design**
- Improvements on LPE. RSS feed, Discord bot integration, X threads can be previewed
- Integration of Odoo for email client is with infra.
- Logos System Design (LSD) is being optimised.
## **Matt / Sterlin - Copy**
- Plethora of words to the LPE. Focus there. Make sure the content looks and feels good. Sterlin feels writing looks good in relation with other similar projects.
- Matt and Sterlin are working on the Status blog posts for the upcoming launch.
- Amelia is working on the BU updates.
- Rick is the social media master, making really good progress on setting up a solid base and communication with the BUs in regards to their needs.
## **Nick - Digital Content Studio**
- New meeting with Jarrad to get his involvement in the day to day things, he has clarity re: guests, shifting content and style. Objective is to have conversations that inform our thinking about network states, governance, etc. Cater content for Jarrad to build his skill as a speaker and host.
- Production value is an important improvement point.
- Looking for more people to join as motion designer for video help.
- Swag for ETH Rome needs feedback but is on it’s way and on time.
- Podcast: we have a solid buffer of interviews for HiO and Logos that allows us to have time for strategic changes.
- Podcast: New stream/recording subscription needs to be approved by someone else to move forward.
## **Santiago - Movement Building**
- Comms strategies - overall, as a master guideline, we should be creating a movement around network states and not a network state, as a key player and a thought leader. From people developing privacy tech, charter cities, etc. To invest all our resources to creating spaces (physical x digital) for the different parties.
- Jarrad: We want authentic organic interaction and conversations like a learning community.
- Nick feedback : To approach which conversations/guests are more appropriately placed in which formats, because production time need to be mindful (podcast, twitter space, etc.)
- LPE launch awaits Comms strategy realignment.
## **Louisa - Events**
- Holding back on global guidelines and event strategy once comms strategy is in place.
- Jarrad is speaking at POW and HCCP. Decks coming ASAP.
- ETH Rome: investing in bounties, smaller meetups are coming. We need booth, merch, swag design this week. Railgun collab with Waku.
- Istanbul: Just some alignment needed re: names and others. Vac, Nimbus and Waku will be there, think about how to overlay design work.

### Overview/Priorities
- Comments from the BUs about blockers and miscommunications - Reevaluation of our comms strategy: BUs are responsible for DevRel, BD, and technical content. We’re responsible for QC of outgoing content (wordsmiths, video editing, and packaging) and non-technical content. This will be communicated with them and consolidated along with the strategy asap.
- New Mantra: Brand awareness and Learning Communities, which are both measurable by proxy. This means we focus more on performance and growth KPIs and reporting these clearly to C/J.
- With clear success metrics in place + costs and resources used we can finally focus on optimise our efforts and use it as a way to guide conversations about prioritising requests. This includes things like revisiting the creation of swag for each event etc.
- New champions model for each BU. https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVPOFj6t8=/. We have an account manager/ implement, test it and iterate as soon as possible
### Amir - Tech & Design
- Logos System Design new version (design) is done. Development continue with Joao. Will move on to documentation.
- LPE project is done. Optimising the scoring system for the search pending a lot of content. V1 is officially done. Renamed to *Network State Press*
- Ihor working on sketches and directing of *Institute of Free Tech*. Will share soon.
- BDP - brand design portal, we designed and managed the dev before but now on hold. For now focus on Brand Guidelines in Docusauraus for BUs.
### Nick - Digital Content Studio
- Presentations, swag work with Veronika & Video for events.
- Jonny has presented a few options for the podcast
### Christian - Podcast
- Open to doing Twitter spaces, in another category to keep it more streamlined and controlled. He wants interactive discussions, open quesitons, brainstorming etc.
- Currently QC of Snowden
- No new interviews, just doing checks of Ameen, Baylina and Assange. Will have it ready
- Jarrad will present the townhall

title: 2023 September Codex Monthly Report
draft: false
lastmod: 2023-09-18

## Executive Summary
September updates for the Codex project were main focused on the ongoing research and analysis of the proofing schemes and their impact on the overall architecture and network economy.
## Key Updates
### Personnel
A new Business Development (BD) job description [was posted](https://jobs.status.im/?gh_jid=5329400) and candidates are currently being interviewed. This role is expected to help facilitate strategy around the much needed partnerships for Codex and liaise with the other BD related resources we have within Logos to ensure efficient communications.
### Milestones
The Codex team is broken up into 5 sections, and the weekly reports give details on how each of them have performed. Currently the Milestone definitions are not in line with this reporting process and will be worked on in the subsequent month. The teams are broken up into the following sections:
- `Client`
- `Infra`
- `Marketplace`
- `Research`
- `DAS`
Below is summary of key updates to these sections over the month of September 2023
#### Client
The client continues to push towards Milestone 1.3: Codex v1.0 - Katana, which is slotted to be completed by the end of the year. Significant work has been done on merkelization which is required in order to integrate the proving system, and can be followed in this [working branch](https://github.com/codex-storage/nim-codex/compare/master...sending-blocks-with-proofs-over-the-network).
The Block Exchange protocol got some attention and refinement. Notes on the associated thoughts can be found in these two writeups:
- [Block Discovery Problem](https://rpubs.com/giuliano_mega/1067876)
- [Codex Swarm Overlays](https://rpubs.com/giuliano_mega/1082104)
In an effort to focus on the critical development path, this work is paused in lieu of attention on the distributed systems testing work.
Progress was made on the ability for Codex to manage asynchronous and threaded disk IO. In the process of doing this work, a bug within Nim's `SharedPtr` was [discovered](https://github.com/nim-lang/threading/issues/45) and [fixed](https://github.com/nim-lang/threading/pull/46).
#### Infra
A [Grafana](https://grafana.dist-tests.codex.storage/) and [Kibana](https://kibana.dist-tests.codex.storage/) instance were deployed in order to facilitate the various testing being done.
#### Marketplace
In order to alleviate a concurrency issue with Data Availabilities in the contract, a [Reservation System](https://github.com/codex-storage/nim-codex/pull/535) has been proposed and worked on. This removes the previous constraint that current downloads was limited by the number of Availabilities.
#### Research
The [Codex Whitepaper v0.1](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LCy23m90IHf32aUVhRT4r4772w1BfVcSLaJ0z9VTw9A/edit#heading=h.qs3bayckj5u4) was drafted and scheduled for release in October 2023. It is currently under review and improving based on feedback.
There has been a large discussion this month around Erasure Coding (EC) for sampling. An [analysis](https://github.com/codex-storage/zk-research-artifacts/blob/master/sampling/sampling.pdf)was performed which looked at the various effects Erasure Coding schemes have on the sampling process and associated data guarantees. A quote of the conclusion on parameter choices is below:
> [!QUOTE]
> - we cannot have a small slot size, because that would mean too many proofs by a node (≈ 1 Tb seems to be a minimum)
> - we cannot have a too small block size, because the Merkle tree of the commitments will take too much space (say a minimum of 1024 bytes)
> - we cannot have a too big “checked sample” size, because we cannot do proofs for large amount of data (say a maximum of 65536 bytes)
> - we cannot have too much sampling checks per slot, because we cannot do proofs for many samples (depends on the block size and SNARK tech)
> - we probably want as big N, K parameters as possible, but actual implementations have limit
A short review of the [Interleaving Schemes for Multidimensional Cluster Errors](https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/661516) was performed [here](https://hackmd.io/DxJzAuTZROulBhPWqScmCg?view) and some general notes on Erasure Coding as it pertains to Codex was written up [here](https://hackmd.io/kxSF8wjPS3arDFcqFJrNDw). Much of these thoughts is being captured in the Erasure Coding Proofing document [here](https://github.com/codex-storage/codex-research/blob/80a88c19989f5095b71db306393fc030df278673/design/proof-erasure-coding.md). The conclusion section (at time of writing) is copied here for convenience:
> [!QUOTE]
> It is likely that with the current state of the art in SNARK design and erasure coding implementations we can only support slot sizes up to 4GB. There are two design directions that allow an increase of slot size. One is to extend or implement an erasure coding implementation to use a larger field size. The other is to use existing erasure coding implementation in a multi-dimensional setting.
>
>Two concrete options are:
>
>1. Erasure code with a field size that allows for 2^28 shards. Check 20 shards per proof. For 1TB this leads to shards of 4KB. This means the SNARK needs to hash 80KB plus the Merkle paths for a storage proof. Requires custom implementation of Reed-Solomon, and requires at least 1 GB of memory while performing erasure coding.
>2. Erasure code with a field size of 2^16 in two dimensions. Check 160 shards per proof. For 1TB this leads to a shards of 256 bytes. This means that the SNARK needs to hash 40KB plus the Merkle paths for a storage proof. We can use the leopard library for erasure coding and keep memory requirements for erasure coding to a negligable level.
It appears as though the team is preferring to go with the multi-dimensional approach to EC.
#### DAS
Work continues on the DAS research in coordination with the Ethereum Foundation (EF). As a result of SBC, a blog post was written by the EF that discussed a forward thinking proposal for[ _PeerDAS - a simpler DAS approach using battle-tested p2p components_](https://ethresear.ch/t/peerdas-a-simpler-das-approach-using-battle-tested-p2p-components/16541) which the team has contributed to (referenced inside). Conversations of relevancy continue.
A Codex Blog post [was published](https://blog.codex.storage/big-blocks-on-mainnet/) discussing two by-products of the DAS research: the characterization of big block diffusion latency on the existing Ethereum Mainnet and the existence of big organic blocks on Ethereum Mainnet and its implications. The conclusion is quoted below:
>[!QUOTE]
>We have discovered a large number of big blocks (>250 KB) that occur organically every day in the Ethereum Mainnet. We have measured the propagation time of those blocks in three different world regions and compared their latency based on geographical location as well as block size. We have analysed how these propagation differences are reflected in the five CL clients separately, as they have different ways of reporting blocks. The empirical results measured in Ethereum Mainnet and presented in this work give us the first clear idea of how block propagation times might look when EIP-4844 is deployed, and 1 MB blocks become the standard and not the exception.
>
>In the future, we plan to continue with these block propagation measurements and monitor the behaviour of big blocks in the Ethereum network. Additionally, we want to help different CL clients harmonise their event recording and publication systems in order to be able to compare CL clients between them.
Discussions with Felix Lange began around some fixes for `Discv5`.
### Other
A [Codex YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@CodexStorage) has been setup and many tutorial videos and conference talks were uploaded. Go like and subscribe!
## Perceived Changes in Project Risk
In an effort to meet the MVP launch by the end of the year, significant resources have been diverted to engineering efforts. Jessie has taken on more responsibility in the administration and project management duties while Dmitriy has started to focus more on the research and engineering needs
The ongoing research around the Data Availability Proof system still has potential to have drastic changes to the overall architecture of the system and associated resource costs of the various participants within the Codex Network. It is unclear how "locked in" parts of the system are that are included in the MVP launch.
## Future Plans
### Insight
Because of the mismatch of weekly updates with Milestone definitions, it is difficult to assess the impact of any given update. Next month should have all milestone definitions within this site and a reporting structure that is more intuitively associated with it. It has been noted that the current structure makes it difficult to track cross-team work which the changes next month hope to fix.
A `Logos Collaborations` section will be included next month to highlight differences in alignment with the Logos Collective as well as cross project collaboration updates.
The reporting process has missed a lot of work around the network simulation and modeling of Codex, which we expect to be corrected by next month by previously mentioned actions.
Depending on the uptake and viability of the [Waku reporting process](https://github.com/waku-org/pm) to other projects, then a myriad of quantitative measures will be included in the next monthly report.

## Codex update 07/12/2023 to 07/21/2023
Overall we continue working in various directions, distributed testing, marketplace, p2p client, research, etc...
Our main milestone is to have a fully functional testnet with the marketplace and durability guarantees deployed by end of year. A lot of grunt work is being done to make that possible. Progress is steady, but there are lots of stabilization and testing & infra related work going on.
We're also onboarding several new members to the team (4 to be precise), this will ultimately accelerate our progress, but it requires some upfront investment from some of the more experienced team members.
### DevOps/Infrastructure:
- Adopted nim-codex Docker builds for Dist Tests.
- Ordered Dedicated node on Hetzner.
- Configured Hetzner StorageBox for local backup on Dedicated server.
- Configured new Logs shipper and Grafana in Dist-Tests cluster.
- Created Geth and Prometheus Docker images for Dist-Tests.
- Created a separate codex-contracts-eth Docker image for Dist-Tests.
- Set up Ingress Controller in Dist-Tests cluster.
### Testing:
- Set up deployer to gather metrics.
- Debugging and identifying potential deadlock in the Codex client.
- Added metrics, built image, and ran tests.
- Updated dist-test log for Kibana compatibility.
- Ran dist-tests on a new master image.
- Debugging continuous tests.
### Development:
- Worked on codex-dht nimble updates and fixing key format issue.
- Updated CI and split Windows CI tests to run on two CI machines.
- Continued updating dependencies in codex-dht.
- Fixed decoding large manifests ([PR #479](https://github.com/codex-storage/nim-codex/pull/497)).
- Explored the existing implementation of NAT Traversal techniques in `nim-libp2p`.
### Research
- Exploring additional directions for remote verification techniques and the interplay of different encoding approaches and cryptographic primitives

> It depends on what you mean, from a high level (A)VID is probably the closest thing to DAS in academic research, in fact DAS is probably either a subset or a superset of VID, so it's definitely worth digging into. But I'm not sure what exactly you're interested in, in the context of rollups...
1. zk_id _—_ 07/25/2023 3:28 PM
The part of the rollups seems to be the base for choosing proofs that scale linearly with the amount of nodes (which makes it impractical for large numbers of nodes). The protocol is very simple, and would only need to instead provide constant proofs with the Kate commitments (at the cost of large computational resources is my understanding). This was at least the rationale that I get from reading the paper and the conversation with Bunz, one of the founders of the Espresso shared sequencer (which is where I found the first reference to this paper). I guess my main open question is why would you do the sampling if you can do VID in the context of blockchains as well. With the proofs of dispersal on-chain, you wouldn't need to do that for the agreement of the dispersal. You still would need the sampling for the light clients though, of course.

> I guess my main open question is why would you do the sampling if you can do VID in the context of blockchains as well. With the proofs of dispersal on-chain, you wouldn't need to do that for the agreement of the dispersal.
Yeah, great question. What follows is strictly IMO, as I haven't seen this formally contrasted anywhere, so my reasoning can be wrong in subtle ways.
- (A)VID - **dispersing** and storing data in a verifiable manner
- Sampling - verifying already **dispersed** data
tl;dr Sampling allows light nodes to protect against dishonest majority attacks. In other words, a light node cannot be tricked to follow an incorrect chain by a dishonest validator majority that withholds data. More details are here - [https://dankradfeist.de/ethereum/2019/12/20/data-availability-checks.html](https://dankradfeist.de/ethereum/2019/12/20/data-availability-checks.html "https://dankradfeist.de/ethereum/2019/12/20/data-availability-checks.html") ------------- First, DAS implies (A)VID, as there is an initial phase where data is distributed to some subset of nodes. Moreover, these nodes, usually the validators, attest that they received the data and that it is correct. If a majority of validators accepts, then the block is considered correct, otherwise it is rejected. This is the verifiable dispersal part. But what if the majority of validators are dishonest? Can you prevent them from tricking the rest of the network from following the chain?

Primer on data availability checks
3. _[_8:31 PM_]_
## Dealing with dishonest majorities
This is easy if all the data is downloaded by all nodes all the time, but we're trying to avoid just that. But lets assume, for the sake of the argument, that there are full nodes in the network that download all the data and are able to construct fraud proofs for missing data, can this mitigate the problem? It turns out that it can't, because proving data (un)availability isn't a directly attributable fault - in other words, you can observe/detect it but there is no way you can prove it to the rest of the network reliably. More details here [https://github.com/ethereum/research/wiki/A-note-on-data-availability-and-erasure-coding](https://github.com/ethereum/research/wiki/A-note-on-data-availability-and-erasure-coding "https://github.com/ethereum/research/wiki/A-note-on-data-availability-and-erasure-coding") So, if there isn't much that can be done by detecting that a block isn't available, what good is it for? Well nodes can still avoid following the unavailable chain and thus be tricked by a dishonest majority. However, simply attesting that data has been publishing is not enough to prevent a dishonest majority from attacking the network. (edited)

To complement, the relevant quote from [https://github.com/ethereum/research/wiki/A-note-on-data-availability-and-erasure-coding](https://github.com/ethereum/research/wiki/A-note-on-data-availability-and-erasure-coding "https://github.com/ethereum/research/wiki/A-note-on-data-availability-and-erasure-coding"), is:
> Here, fraud proofs are not a solution, because not publishing data is not a uniquely attributable fault - in any scheme where a node ("fisherman") has the ability to "raise the alarm" about some piece of data not being available, if the publisher then publishes the remaining data, all nodes who were not paying attention to that specific piece of data at that exact time cannot determine whether it was the publisher that was maliciously withholding data or whether it was the fisherman that was maliciously making a false alarm.
The relevant quote from from [https://dankradfeist.de/ethereum/2019/12/20/data-availability-checks.html](https://dankradfeist.de/ethereum/2019/12/20/data-availability-checks.html "https://dankradfeist.de/ethereum/2019/12/20/data-availability-checks.html"), is:
> There is one gap in the solution of using fraud proofs to protect light clients from incorrect state transitions: What if a consensus supermajority has signed a block header, but will not publish some of the data (in particular, it could be fraudulent transactions that they will publish later to trick someone into accepting printed/stolen money)? Honest full nodes, obviously, will not follow this chain, as they can’t download the data. But light clients will not know that the data is not available since they don’t try to download the data, only the header. So we are in a situation where the honest full nodes know that something fishy is going on, but they have no means of alerting the light clients, as they are missing the piece of data that might be needed to create a fraud proof.
Both articles are a bit old, but the intuitions still hold.

Thanks a ton @dryajov ! We are on the same page. TBH it took me a while to get to this point, as it's not an intuitive problem at first. The relationship between the VID and the DAS, and what each is for is crucial for us, btw. Your writing here and your references give us the confidence that we understand the problem and are equipped to evaluate the different solutions. Deeply appreciate that you took the time to write this, and is very valuable.
7. _[_10:45 AM_]_
The dishonest majority is critical scenario for Nomos (essential part of the whole sovereignty narrative), and generally not considered by most blockchain designs

dryajov _—_ 07/26/2023 4:43 PM
Yes, I'd argue it is crucial in a network with distributed validation, where all nodes are either fully light or partially light nodes.
10. _[_4:46 PM_]_
Btw, there is probably more we can share/compare notes on in this problem space, we're looking at similar things, perhaps from a slightly different perspective in Codex's case, but the work done on DAS with the EF directly is probably very relevant for you as well

bkomuves _—_ 07/28/2023 4:44 PM
my current view (it's changing pretty often :) is that there is tension between:
- commitment cost
- proof cost
- and verification cost
the holy grail which is the best for all of them doesn't seem to exist. Hence, you have to make tradeoffs, and it depends on your specific use case what you should optimize for, or what balance you aim for. we plan to find some points in this 3 dimensional space which are hopefully close to the optimal surface, and in parallel to that figure out what balance to aim for, and then choose a solution based on that (and also based on what's possible, there are external restrictions)

I agree. That's also my understanding (although surely much more superficial).
22. _[_4:24 AM_]_
There is also the dimension of computation vs size cost
23. _[_4:25 AM_]_
ie the VID scheme (of the paper that kickstarted this conversation) has all the properties we need, but it scales n^2 in message complexity which makes it lose the properties we are looking for after 1k nodes. We need to scale confortably to 10k nodes.
24. _[_4:29 AM_]_
So we are at the moment most likely to use KZG commitments with a 2d RS polynomial. Basically just copy Ethereum. Reason is:
- Our rollups/EZ leader will generate this, and those are beefier machines than the Base Layer. The base layer nodes just need to verify and sign the EC fragments and return them to complete the VID protocol (and then run consensus on the aggregated signed proofs).
- If we ever decide to change the design for the VID dispersal to be done by Base Layer leaders (in a multileader fashion), it can be distributed (rows/columns can be reconstructed and proven separately). I don't think we will pursue this, but we will have to if this scheme doesn't scale with the first option.

**Logos Lab** 12th of July
Currently working on the Waku Objects prototype, which is a modular system for transactional chat objects.
**Milestone**: deliver the first transactional Waku Object called Payggy (attached some design screenshots).
It is now possible to make transactions on the blockchain and the objects send notifications over the messaging layer (e.g. Waku) to the other participants. What is left is the proper transaction status management and some polishing.
There is also work being done on supporting external objects, this enables creating the objects with any web technology. This work will guide the separation of the interfaces between the app and the objects and lead us to release it as an SDK.
**Next milestone**: group chat support
The design is already done for the group chat functionality. There is ongoing design work for a new Waku Object that would showcase what can be done in a group chat context.
Deployed version of the main branch:
https://waku-objects-playground.vercel.app/

at the moment most of the code is in the `waku-objects-playground` repo later we may split it to several repos here is the link: [https://github.com/logos-innovation-lab/waku-objects-playground](https://github.com/logos-innovation-lab/waku-objects-playground "https://github.com/logos-innovation-lab/waku-objects-playground")

**Logos Lab** 2nd of August
Currently working on the Waku Objects prototype, which is a modular system for transactional chat objects.
The last few weeks were a bit slower than usual because there were vacations, one team member got married, there was EthCC and a team offsite.
Still, a lot of progress were made and the team released the first version of a color system in the form of an npm package, which lets the users to choose any color they like to customize their app. It is based on grayscale design and uses luminance, hence the name of the library. Try it in the Playground app or check the links below.
**Milestone**: group chat support
There is a draft PR for group chat support for private groups and it is expected to be finished this week. At the end we decided to roll our own toy group chat protocol implementation because we did not find anything ready to use. It would have been great if we could have just used an existing implementation.
**Next milestone**: Splitter Waku Object supporting group chats and smart contracts
This 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.
Deployed version of the main branch:

While status-js does implement chat features, I do not know how nice the API is. Waku is actively hiring a chat sdk lead and golang eng. We will probably also hire a JS engineer (not yet confirmed) to provide nice libraries to enable such use case (1:1 chat, group chat, community chat).

3. attila🍀 _—_ Today at 4:21 AM
This is great news and I think it will help with adoption. I did not find a JS API for status (maybe I was looking at the wrong places), the closest was the `status-js-api` project but that still uses whisper and the repo recommends to use `js-waku` instead ![🙂](https://discord.com/assets/da3651e59d6006dfa5fa07ec3102d1f3.svg) [https://github.com/status-im/status-js-api](https://github.com/status-im/status-js-api "https://github.com/status-im/status-js-api") Also I also found the `56/STATUS-COMMUNITIES` spec: [https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/56/](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/56/ "https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/56/") It seems to be quite a complete solution for community management with all the bells and whistles. However our use case is a private group chat for your existing contacts, so it seems to be a bit overkill for that.
4. fryorcraken _—_ Today at 5:32 AM
The repo is status-im/status-web
5. _[_5:33 AM_]_
Spec is [https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/55/](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/55/ "https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/55/")
6. fryorcraken
The repo is status-im/status-web
7. attila🍀 _—_ Today at 6:05 AM
As constructive feedback I can tell you that it is not trivial to find it and use it in other projects It is presented as a React component without documentation and by looking at the code it seems to provide you the whole chat UI of the desktop app, which is not necessarily what you need if you want to embed it in your app It seems to be using this package: [https://www.npmjs.com/package/@status-im/js](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@status-im/js "https://www.npmjs.com/package/@status-im/js") Which also does not have documentation I assume that package is built from this: [https://github.com/status-im/status-web/tree/main/packages/status-js](https://github.com/status-im/status-web/tree/main/packages/status-js "https://github.com/status-im/status-web/tree/main/packages/status-js") This looks promising, but again there is no documentation. Of course you can use the code to figure out things, but at least I would be interested in what are the requirements and high level architecture (does it require an ethereum RPC endpoint, where does it store data, etc.) so that I can evaluate if this is the right approach for me. So maybe a lesson here is to put effort in the documentation and the presentation as well and if you have the budget then have someone on the team whose main responsibility is that (like a devrel or dev evangelist role)

# **Logos Lab** 11th of August
Currently working on the Waku Objects prototype, which is a modular system for transactional chat objects.
We 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.
**Next milestone**: Splitter Waku Object supporting group chats and smart contracts
This 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.
**Next milestone**: Basic Waku Objects website
Work started toward having a structure for a website and the content is shaping up nicely. The implementation has been started on it as well.
Deployed version of the main branch:
https://www.wakuplay.im/

### Description
The insight team acts as a glue within the Logos Collective. They serve development projects by helping to track development activity and aiding in resource allocation. They serve the broader service units within the organization by helping them understand who's doing what, how much effort is going into each chunk of work, how much it costs, and future projections of milestone delivery.
This page tracks the various work that they engage in throughout the org. As this is a service unit and not a project, it does not strictly work off a milestone based approach and has consistent service work to the various groups within the Logos Collective.

## `nomos:data-availability:`
---
### Description
Nomos Data Availability design:
- Our Base Layer doesn't have execution. Only the (global) Coordination Layer has a minimal set of operations.
- Our rollups are quasi-sovereign, meaning that they do not prove their state to the Base Layer, but they have to prove asset deposit/withdrawals, as well as implement the mechanism to pay for using the Base Layer DA+consensus. _Note that full sovereignty means no bridging and implementing a client of the DA for the payments._
- We also have a form of PBS, but enshrined in the L2s. The Base Layer only performs consensus on data that has been dispersed by the Builder. The Proposer is a node in the Base Layer, and the Builder is a node of the Execution Zone.

### Description
The initial milestone of the Nomos project is a full specification of the Base Layer. This entails detailed explanations of the working parts of the architecture and how they lay the groundwork for future layers to be built on top. The working parts are:
- A private P2P network
- Data availability
- A private Proof-of-State model leveraging a scalable, lightweight consensus algorithm
This work can be tracked via the following epics.
### Key Epics

### Current Focus
**Mixnet 1.0** - a technology/system that helps keep information sent over the internet private and secure. It does so by mixing up data from different sources before sending it to its destination. In Nomos chain:
- Mixnet nodes opt-in by publishing their IP and providing stake.
- The mixnet topology of layers is public and defined on-chain (by some deterministic algorithm using the random-beacon for example).
- After certain number of epochs (to be determined), a new set of nodes is chosen and a new topology of Mixnet layers is defined. Nodes need to renew their stake and their keys (for security).

We aim for having an **unstable** testnet (asap) with no guarantees on breaking changes:
- Data can be wiped out at every new rollout
- Accounts may disappear at some point
- There are no incentives initially (ie no token as it requires data permanence)
- A good first functionality target would be to implement something like Bitcoin's ordinals (NFTs), since they are just signed data.

## Executive Summary
The Nomos team continues to stay focused on research related to the fine-grained details of the Base Layer specification and implementation. The addition of a Project Manager is expected to not only expedite the research by allowing the lead to dive deeper into the issues involved but also make that work and progress more transparent.
Mehmet joins the team next month to fulfill a long needed dedicated role in research privacy and zero-knowledge technology as it pertains to the Nomos requirements.
The whitepapers plan to be polished and published by early next month which not only details the current specifications but also known problems that need to be solved.
## Key Updates
### Personnel
- Filip has joined as a Project Manager (last month) to assist in various activities. His position is to sit in between the Insights team and the Nomos project to facilitate development tracking and resource allocation. It is anticipated that his involvement will speed up development as current resources are then freed to focus on research and development. Until demands within Nomos require full-time engagement from him, he will also be assisting with Vac Program Management.
- After a lot of candidate interviews, Mehmet was offered a position and accepted to focus on the privacy and cryptography research needs within the project. His background in cryptography and security auditing of popular zero-knowledge platforms is expected to be very useful in aiding to architect Nomos. Mehmet's starting date is Oct 2
- Another candidate for this role that was considered, Ramses, has joined the Vac team and will initially be aiding in this work and growing the relationship with their [[vac/acz/index|Applied Crypto and Zero-Knowledge]] team. Ramses started in
- An offer has been extended to a candidate for the open role of Applied Network Researcher. He passed all interview rounds but unfortunately passed on the final offer for another opportunity.
- The roles of [Applied Network Researcher]() and [Distributed Systems Researcher](https://jobs.status.im/?gh_jid=5310504) are still open and candidates are being interviewed.
### Milestones
Nomos' roadmap is currently composed of five main sections, each of which is broken up into `Research` and `Development`. Obviously, `Development` lags behind the `Research` section. These five areas are as follows:
- `Whitepapers`
- `Network Privacy and Mixnet`
- `Testnet`
- `Private PoS`
- `Data Availability`
The Milestone definitions and timelines are not yet ported to this site, and as such, are private to Logos. They are planned to be publicized on this site by the end of the this month, potentially bleeding into the beginning of October. For those with Notion access, you can view the Milestone definitions [here](https://www.notion.so/Work-In-Progress-9949ac425fd240b1a14006eeca03d874).
The following sections will outline key activity across these milestones. If more information and detail is desired, links can be found under the associated heading among the [[#Sources and Useful Links]] Weekly updates section.
#### Whitepapers
The current Whitepaper drafts are almost ready for publication. They require only "beautification" and a listing of detailed "current unsolved problems" that need to be explored later in the total project. This will be done following the current prioritization of mixnet specification.
This milestone will be completed next month.
#### Network Privacy and Mixnet
The specification of the mixnet is currently underway and expected to wrap up soon (next month??). This initial specification is modeled after the current State of the Art in the mixnet industry. This is chosen to be critical path based on all the depending architectural decisions that stem from decisions of the networking layer.
Review and analysis of current mixnet literature continues. Throughout this review, a modeling framework was developed in order to help evaluate future (v2) speculative mixnet architectures as compared to the current one. This theoretical framework has already been able to reproduce known results within the industry, such as deriving that the probability of an anonymity failure:
- decreases when increasing the number of layers
- increases when increasing the number of nodes within a single layer.
Framework and analysis details can be found in [the overleaf document](https://www.overleaf.com/read/rybwvjftfrrg).
While research explores subtleties in the mixnet specification, development has tackled the foundations of its implementation on top of `libp2p` within the `nomos-node` repository. They've logically setup how it connects to the rest of the pieces of the node, setup testing frameworks and node monitoring hooks, and generally got it provisioned for the upcoming testnet.
#### Testnet
A PoC/Draft Testnet was created and merged via Docker-Compose, then general exploration was done to identify what to measure and how to do it within the `nomos-node` software.
Simulations of the branch overlay with 1 committee was conducted. Initial results discovered a bug in reproducibility that was fixed. Additional simulations resulted in discovery of inter-module errors with the leader selection. This is currently being explored along with integration of mixnet developments.
#### Private PoS
Research was conducted in a variety of areas around a Private Proof of Stake spec relevant to the architecture of Nomos. All details can be found in the Whitepaper descriptions.
The initial design was created based on Zcash designs with section details around how "stake" is considered for the Base Layer of Nomos, how "restaking" could work, and various consensus modifications around Carnot. An introduction of "shadows" was done which presents the ideas around the initial voting process. The logic of these "shadows" is currently being fleshed out so that they're more intuitive to understand. One result is that they're now called "Validators" in an effort to keep naming conventions reasonable across the industry.
Much attention was spent on a discovered issue with vote propagation within this construction. This issue is around the implications of vote withholding and how they change as you move up the overlay. The solution being to propagate a map of seen votes upstream alongside the vote, thus increasing transparency of participation.
The concept of "Hastiness" has been introduced to describe the leader's ability to decide whether or not to include votes from the root committee if the threshold is reached before they've had the opportunity to conclude. More research is underway to detail the implications of this decisions with respect to payout, latency, and security.
Most notably, an extension (or more constrained parameterization) of Carnot was initiated and is underway (expected by end of Oct) as a consequence of needing to mitigate a signature aggregation issue. This extension requires 2/3 votes to be collected before a decisions is made.
#### Data Availability
Research continues on the various available Data Availability schemes and their trade-offs which resulted in the ability to make some decisions on the Nomos specification and identified a more specific personnel requirement for specialized cryptographic expertise. This research demand will now be filled by the new addition to the team and progress is expected to accelerate.
An analysis of the impact of node decay in Data Availability [was performed](https://www.overleaf.com/read/gzqvbbmfnxyp) and presented in a [Logos Research Seminar](https://minutes.logos.co/logos/logos-research-call-notes#september-13). This research resulted in a draft specification of [private DA](https://www.notion.so/Data-Availability-Specification-c3961b681eba4ccdab2be9181e4207b4?d=d4e8d1bcd6224682ba74737100106e48#0c70202794214cbab626e51f7f1f7c24). This then lead to the [first draft](https://www.notion.so/Practical-Private-Addressing-Network-Privacy-Component-2-2b9b4923124a4fdb81dba5d2bba1d289?d=99166164267a46589c5715175e1b3657#5e27d2010d30468f9d8f0d0928b9c639) of a complete privacy solution for the networking layer for consensus and DA.
The architecture of Data Availability services was fleshed out within `nomos-node` software. Data dissemination implementation was completed and the mempool for certificates is currently in progress.
## Perceived Changes in Project Risk
Privacy remains at the forefront of this project's desired requirements. As such, it is important to define what types of privacy the project can offer and then detail exactly how various technology provides it. This is a "ground up" process that starts at the lowest layers and propagates up through the stack. Due to the continued exploration and designing of the Base Layer, it remains to be seen how the currently designs will impact upper layers, namely "Execution Zones." The on-going development of the [[vac/zkvm/index|zkVM]] incubation project within Vac raises the risk of incompatibility between the two as both projects are optimizing for their respective domains in parallel and without much communication.
## Future Plans
### Insight
It is expected that the entire Nomos roadmap will be specified within this site and the weekly reporting process will be in line with the Milestones defined therein.
A `Logos Collaborations` section will be included next month to highlight differences in alignment with the Logos Collective as well as cross project collaboration updates.
Depending on the uptake and viability of the [Waku reporting process](https://github.com/waku-org/pm) to other projects, then a myriad of quantitative measures will be included in the next monthly report.
### Project
Next month focuses on finalizing and publishing:
- the first version of the Whitepapers
- emphasis that specification details will focus on the Base Layer implementation, leaving unknowns and explicit detail of above layers to be explored as open problems.
- a Nomos Testnet Client and Node implementation
- a viability analysis of an embedded mixnet
- a specification and pseudocode for the extended 2/3-vote aggregation Carnot consensus algorithm (Vac dependency: [[vac/dr/consensus/nomos/carnot-2-3rds-vote-aggregation|carnot-2-3rds-vote-aggregation]])

### `network privacy and mixnet:`
#### `research:`
- Revised mathematical methods, such as the Poisson point process, etc., used in analysis of mixnets.
- Explored literature related to mixnets where approaches from differential privacy are used. The latter could lead to a more general privacy guarantee which is relevant to not only current but also future attacks on privacy.
#### `development:`
- Fixed a bug in the connection pool implementation https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/373
- Fixed Cargo.toml for nomos-network https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/380
- Added defaults to libp2p settings https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/388
- Fixed request handling in mixnode: https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/372
- Added benchmark code (in localhost): https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/375
- After trying to find existing solutions to routing strategies (routing first, privacy later), and not finding a proper solution, moved to thinking about a naive approach: https://www.notion.so/WIP-Proposal-Routing-7b034dcac64940eda25ee415806d0ec8
- Found using sync Mutex will lead to a block. https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/370
- Finish implementing the first version of retry for mixnode and mixclient https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/386

- Resolving more GH Actions related issues:
- https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/385
- https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/389
---
### `private PoS:`
#### `research:`
- Found an issue in vote propagation of the PPoS construction: When a vote is propagated upstream to the higher committee there is a chance that a malicious shadow in committee decides not to broadcast their vote to the committee members and send it only upstream. 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.
- Improving 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.
---
### `data availability:`

---
### `private PoS:`
#### `research:`
- **Shadows logic:** Looking at how to describe the logic of the shadow in the most clear way: It will be divided into a set of modules, each module taking care of processing a separate communication channel.
- All channels have their logic described in adequate modules and with references to self-descripting functions. However, some of them (like how exactly to aggregate votes) must yet to be defined.
- **Hastiness 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. More on that under the issues section of the PPoS doc.

### `network privacy and mixnet:`
#### `research:`
- With the assumption that nodes of a mixnet are selected without replacement, we performed analysis with Byzantine node presence (for specific widths and lengths). This gives the probability that there is at least one path where all nodes are Byzantine (“anonymity” failure)
- Evaluation in the “Loopix” paper used the mixnet with n1=2 and L=5
- Conclusion: probability of anonymity failure decreases when increasing length and increases with increasing width
- Notes provided in the overleaf document https://www.overleaf.com/read/rybwvjftfrrg
- Discussions on how to model the network privacy for analysis; viability of the embedded mixnet design
- Notes (WIP): https://www.notion.so/Network-Privacy-2dabf0aa878744e299b2ebb97120876f
#### `development:`
- Making integration tests work with FlatOverlay and RandomBeacon:
- https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/425
- https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/426
- Some integration tests are randomly failed. Debugging them: https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/437
- Refactoring libp2p network layer: https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/417
- Add missing error handlings in mixnet: https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/436 (+ more coming soon)
- Trying to enable gathering metrics for libp2p (but needs to be discussed about how this can be used with our existing metrics service): https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/431
- New mixnet message handle PR: https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/435
- QC checks: https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/430
---
### `testnet:`
#### `development:`
- TreeOverlay in Nomos node:
- https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/415
- https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/423
- After adding tree overlay to Nomos node, integration tests started failing. Main reason was that the leader didn't spawn in time and nodes failed to send their votes. This mainly affected the happy path test. Work will be merged once the issues are fixed.
- Testnet with mixnode: WIP
- Work on the mixnet node in testnet continues. Ongoing inter-team discussions in regards to how we should monitor and extract info from the network. The PR for libp2p metrics might be the way to go.
- CI chores: https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/432
---
### `private PoS:`
#### `research:`
- Add missing function descriptions and finalize structure definitions.
- Defined/redefined structures used in all algorithms that required a rewrite.
- Updated the terminology and made the Shadows name obsolete, and now they are called Validators (for synchronization with other PoS designs).
- The validators logic was redesigned, improved and updated accordingly.
- The same was with the ledger/transactions part, and now they form a complete logic.
- Readability: the specification part was updated. The rest of the document is out of sync and needs to be revised as the focus was put on the specification.
- Critical analysis: an issue was identified and described (under the issues section) that touches on a problem where insufficient number of votes are aggregated and the need for an additional voting round before commencing an overlay tree reconstruction. This can be mitigated with an additional votes collection from late voters (before the tree timeout) or increased level of votes that are collected during initial voting collection.
- Review of the Delegation and Validation rewards document by Frederico.

### network privacy and mixnet:
#### :research
- Derived asymptotic expressions for anonymity and communication failure probabilities, when taking into account certain values for population size and network size. Used simulations and analytic framework to study failure probabilities in mixnets of different sizes. Assuming delays between sending and receiving messages are independent random variables from the exponential distribution, derived probability distribution of latency. Main result: one cannot have both low probability of communication and low probability of anonymity failures. The probability of anonymity failure is decreasing with the number of layers but at the expense of increasing the latency.
- Finalize research of network-level privacy solutions. Learned important information on: Framework for formalizing privacy, Nym and tokenomics of a Mixnet, Sphinx, and Loopix. Notes found at: https://www.notion.so/Network-Privacy-2dabf0aa878744e299b2ebb97120876f (summaries still WIP).
#### :development
- Lock Overwatch to a specific revision in nomos: https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/455.
- Implement and pipe services lifecycle handling in Overwatch: https://github.com/logos-co/Overwatch/pull/27.
- Bash is being replaced with python due to adding mixnet to docker. At the moment, small issues with node spawning order are being resolved (for tree overlay). ETA on finishing: beginning of this week.
- Add API to return mempool item status: https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/449.
- Make libp2p gossipsub settings configurable: https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/454.
- Avoid temporary gossipsub errors when bootstrapping tests: https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/442.
### testnet:
#### development:
- Skeleton for nomos API service - https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/451.
- Support generics for overwatch derive - https://github.com/logos-co/Overwatch/pull/26.
- Fix clippy warnings for rust 1.73 - https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/452.
- Remove waku mentions from codebase - https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/446.
- Improved integration tests.
- Handle corner cases in the unhappy path: https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/438.
- Add canonical ID to attestations and certificates: https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/448.
- Add functionalities to nomos-cli: https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/450.
### private PoS:
#### research:
- Exploring multi-staking PPoS design for Carnot.
- Idea: a slightly modified version of PoS, unknown how much funds a single validator has and validators are grouped by the amount of stake they have. This property gives validators group-based k-anonymity, where they are indistinguishable (on the stake level). This also enables us to assign the same voting power per each group of validators, which then can be reflected on the overlay structure.
- Considering a couple of additional stake hiding/obfuscating techniques without making the initial design too complex. We incentivize/penalize validators based not on the voting power they represent but on the stake. We can have a system that diverges from an equality between voting power and stake, to a system that approximates the voting power based on the stake but the rewarding/penalization directly follows the stake.
### data availability:
#### development:
- DA nomos API based on the new skeleton: https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/456.
- Add API to return DA blobs: https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/453.

### `network privacy and mixnet:`
#### `research:`
- Set up a calculation for the probability of anonymity (communication) failure in the mix network of a large size, sampled from a large population of nodes, such that mix network size is comparable with the node population size. The latter is the most challenging regime to analyse but potentially can give us much more accurate estimates of probabilities. Previously we have analysed regimes when mix network size is much smaller than network size and when all nodes in the network are also used in the mix network.
- Notes on “Anonymity Trilemma: Strong Anonymity, Low Bandwidth Overhead, Low Latency - Choose Two” paper provided in the overleaf document. https://www.overleaf.com/read/rybwvjftfrrg ; The latter derives necessary conditions for anonymous communication in terms of latency, amount of noise messages and some measure of anonymity.
#### `development:`
- Mixnet development specifications: went through the Loopix paper again - writing the draft specs: https://www.notion.so/WIP-Mixnet-Development-Specifications-807b624444a54a4b88afa1cc80e100c2 (covering the current Loopix-based implementation + Future work: cover traffic, multicasting (TBD), incentivization (TBD))
---
### `testnet:`
#### `development:`
- Save block contents to storage - https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/464
- Refactoring for future content - https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/461
- Services state watchers - added a first version so overwatch can await for other services signal that they are ready to work. First version using relay did not work (among other things, too complicated). Second version uses an additional handle per service, it is mores traight forward. It may add more intricate relationship among services, and they cannot be handled/caught on runtime. Testing only for now.
- Failing services status PR: https://github.com/logos-co/Overwatch/pull/29
- Working services status PR: https://github.com/logos-co/Overwatch/pull/30
- Update lifecycle handling: https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/457
- Generics metrics API: https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/466
- Human readable ser/deser for array based types: https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/468
- Update libp2p breaking changes: https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/470
- Finished mixnodes in docker testnet:
- https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/467
- The testnet in docker compose is now merged and has a README. There are still room for improvement, like spawning some nodes sequentially (like in https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/425), but this will be solved in added in a new PRs or solved by other node improvements.
- Improvements for node config:
- https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/460,
- https://github.com/logos-co/nomos-node/pull/471
- These changes were required for spawning nodes in testnet, will be useful for our endusers too
---
### `private PoS:`
#### `research:`
- Single-staking - reviewed and updated the design up to the construction section.
- Multi-staking - all comments have been addressed, but new are coming.
- Right now we are investigating a scenario where we are limiting the amount of validators in the Single-Staking case by diverging from the requirement of having multiples of validators by removing the economical incentives. In other words, we are considering to allow registering validators that have at least a threshold of stake (that is or is not capped) and a single (unitary) voting power. This way we are limiting the economical need for having multiple validators hosted by a single node, and at the same time limiting the network overhead of the single-staking design.
- The "Delegation and Validation Rewards" document (WIP): https://www.notion.so/Delegation-and-Validation-Rewards-d4af3f87a0b240739ff99b15af11cb3f?pvs=4
- Incorporating notes in the architecture whitepapers. These readings are not as deeply technical as papers, but more about understanding the directions currently explored at the edge of blockchain architectures (namely rollups, modular architectures and intent-centric architectures).
- Working on the problem of PPoS, one of the most critical points of focus right now, to have at least an understanding of the available options
---
### `data availability:`
#### `research:`
- Hyrax, Dory and Dark schemes were studied, comparisons here: https://www.notion.so/Polynomial-Commitment-Schemes-59bf8f6fe39840babe819c5c0a9628fc ; It was concluded that schemes with verifier time above logarithmic are not a good option for data availability.
- FRI is a structure that should be used not for now, (at this stage especially, due to large proof size - higher than KZG), but can be used for quantum resistance in the future. Here are some sources that say this can be used in later stages (the reasons are the same as ours). - https://scroll.io/blog/kzg#user-content-fn-6 and https://notes.ethereum.org/@vbuterin/proto_danksharding_faq#Why-use-the-hash-of-the-KZG-instead-of-the-KZG-directly

## Governing law
Swiss law governs these Website Terms of Use and any disputes between you and us, whether in court or arbitration, without regard to conflict of laws provisions.
## Disputes
In these terms, “dispute” has the broadest meaning enforceable by law and includes any claim you make against or controversy you may have in relation to these Website Terms of Use, the Website, the content on the Website, or your use of the Website 
We prefer arbitration over litigation as we believe it meets our principle of resolving disputes in the most effective and cost effective manner.

You also waive all your rights to a jury trial (if any) in any and all jurisdictions. 
If a (potential) dispute arises, you must first use your reasonable efforts to resolve it amicably with us. If these efforts do not result in a resolution of such dispute, you shall then send us a written notice of dispute setting out (i) the nature of the dispute, and the claim you are making; and (ii) the remedy you are seeking. 
If we and you are unable to further resolve this dispute within sixty (60) calendar days of us receiving this notice of dispute, then any such dispute will be referred to and finally resolved by you and us through an arbitration administered by the Swiss Chambers’ Arbitration Institution in accordance with the Swiss Rules of International Arbitration for the time being in force, which rules are deemed to be incorporated herein by reference. The arbitral decision may be enforced in any court. The arbitration will be held in Zug, Switzerland, and may be conducted via video conference virtual/online methods if possible. The tribunal will consist of one arbitrator, and all proceedings as well as communications between the parties will be kept confidential. The language of the arbitration will be in English. Payment of all relevant fees in respect of the arbitration, including filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be in accordance with the Swiss Rules of International Arbitration. 
Regardless of any applicable statute of limitations, you must bring any claims within one year after the claim arose or the time when you should have reasonably known about the claim. You also waive the right to participate in a class action lawsuit or a classwide arbitration against us.

### Description
* Waku doc: How can a user setup Waku + RLN?
- even though Waku RLN does not support slashing yet, we can see RLN as that provides an additional datapoint regarding message validity
* doc explaining how the components of RLN (zerokit, contract, and a project using it, e.g. Waku, work together)
- this can be in notion at first
* rlog post based on the two points above
* talk @ progcrypto and logos event in Istanbul (co-located with devconnect)

### Description
Currently, RLN v1 allows for a fixed message rate of 1/msg per epoch while RLN v2 allows for n msgs/epoch.
The goal of this milestone is designing the key derivation and related cryptographic components for allowing several n msgs/epoch constraints.
For example: 24 msg / day && 1 msg/10 seconds.
* the nullifier defined in the [RLN RFC](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/32/#slashing-and-shamirs-secret-sharing) has to be adapted accordingly.

### Description
The article describes how multi-dimensional bribery attacks cannot be addressed at the consensus layer alone.
A proper game theoretical, economic analysis also needs to be done. The solution to this problem will also touch on several aspects
including the economy, distributed systems, and cryptography.
This Milestone also comprises a presentation:
This presentation slide describes how multi-dimensional bribery attacks cannot
be addressed at the consensus layer alone. By combining PoS with the
distributed consensus a new dimension is introduced into the ecosystem. Now the
security of the protocol should also be considered against economic attacks.
The presentation provides an example based on the Crypto Economic security
model of how any PoS consensus protocol can fail against a bribing attack. The
presentation emphasizes that a proper game theoretical, and economic analysis
also needs to be done. It also suggests a solution for addressing bribing
attacks in Carnot consensus.
### Risks
This problem has not been properly addressed for PoS protocols.
### Justification
### Deliverables
* A report on how bribery attacks can be addressed in PoS. This will ultimately give a new research direction.
* [presentation slides](https://www.notion.so/Roadmap-Deep-Research-DR-561a864c890549c3861bf52ab979d7ab?pvs=4#5873a631da964b34a24e5a05307b29ae)

### Description
In pursuit of heightened resilience and performance optimization, our research extends to multi-leader and multi-overlay Carnot configurations.
This direction seeks to bolster the protocol's resistance against Denial of Service (DoS) and bribery attacks.
By introducing multiple leadership nodes and overlay structures, we envision a protocol that thrives in adversarial environments while maintaining exceptional performance standards.
As we navigate this deep research trajectory, our collective efforts contribute to the advancement of blockchain technology, ushering in a new era of consensus, privacy, and scalability.

### Description
This milestone comprises component 3 of the [Nomos network privacy stack](https://www.notion.so/Network-Privacy-Stack-2a2a86647d2a42ca9de6940c55f99851)
in the context of consensus privacy:
The main goal of this work is finding in-protocol (carnot) mechanisms to solve the problem of timing attacks.
Upper layer protections of the network from the sender: Simplest solution to prevent attacks to private PoS: minimum age of transaction for inclusion.
Certain types of timing attacks and network observation to identify high stake participants are already being worked on at the network level.
However, this problem should be considered at the PoS/consesus layer as well.
#### more info
* [paper: On the Anonymity Guarantees of Anonymous Proof-of-Stake Protocols](https://eprint.iacr.org/2021/409.pdf)
From the abstract:
```
[...] focus on anonymizing the
messages of the blockchain protocol, but suggest that potential identity leaks from the networklayer can be removed as well by employing anonymous broadcast channels.
In this work we show that this intuition is flawed.
```
Generally, our endeavor in stake privacy research centers on preserving the confidentiality of validator stakes.
By leveraging cryptographic techniques and innovative approaches, we aim to enhance the privacy and security of staking operations within the Carnot ecosystem.

Potential future solutions (outside the scope of this mile stone) comprise: proof of mixing + modifications to the base mixnet design. This seems like a difficult path, for long-term research if feasible.
### Justification
This is and important step towards achieving the Nomos privacy requirements.
