Nomos weekly report

Milestone 1: Network Privacy and Mixnet

Research

  • A Mixnet PoC was conducted to gauge end-to-end latency, revealing a slight latency increase when utilizing mixnet. Several potential optimization areas have been identified.

Development


Milestone 2: Private PoS

Research

  • Discussions were held about token-engineering and staking in private settings, resulting in documentation that delves into the validation and delegation aspects of PPoS. Current considerations involve the integration of the ZeroCash/zCash construction into the staking model.

Milestone 3: Data Availability Sampling (RS, KZG)

Research

  • Limitations discovered during RS and KZG implementation, notably with RS library scalability issues and bls12_381 curve finite field challenges. Found KZG libraries are primarily designed for Ethereum, which constrains the blob size.
  • Benchmarks for KZG implementation were carried out, and simulation runs were conducted for different configurations.
  • Node decay in relation to data availability was analyzed, leading to the derivation of an equation for understanding node averages in the network.
