Nomos weekly report

Network implementation and Mixnet:

Research

Development

Private PoS:

Research

  • Worked on PPoS design and addressed potential metadata leakage due to staking and rewarding.
  • Focus on potential bribery attacks and privacy reasoning, but not much progress yet.
  • Stopped work on Accountability mechanism and PPoS efficiency due to prioritizing bribery attacks.

Carnot:

Research

  • Addressed two solutions for the bribery attack. Proposals pending.
  • Work on accountability against attacks in Carnot including Slashing mechanism for attackers is paused at the moment.
  • Modeled data decimation using a specific set of parameters and derived equations related to it.
  • Proposed solutions to address bribery attacks without compromising the protocol's scalability.

Data Availability Sampling (VID):

Research

  • Analyzed data decimation in data availability problem. (Link: https://www.overleaf.com/read/gzqvbbmfnxyp)
  • DA benchmarks and analysis for data commitments and encoding. This confirms that (for now), we are on the right path.
  • Explored the idea of node sharding: https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.03331 (taken from Celestia), but discarded it because it doesn't fit our architecture.

Testing and Node development:
