vac:tke:

  • waku:general-incentives
    • Continuing the discussion with the Waku team on the marketplace idea (Martin)
    • reviewed the discussion about Waku marketplace (Frederico)
  • waku:rln-membership:
    • Scoping out and working on the deliverables for RLN design (Martin)
  • status:SNT-staking
    • Full review of the MP logic within the smart contract (Martin)
    • Supporting the SC team ad hoc (Martin)
  • status:L2-deployment
    • Reviewing airdrop strategies of existing L2s (Martin)
    • listed business models and ecosystem incentivization of L2 comparables (Frederico)
  • codex:cdx
    • Revisiting fundraising docs and starting a closer cooperation with Matt (Martin)
    • designed the CDX insurance model as a liquidity pool (Frederico)
    • evaluated token allocation and initial distribution of comparables (Frederico)

vac:dst:

  • eng-10ktool:vac:bandwidth-test
    • Finish plotter module tests and prepare PR (ongoing)
    • Thanos PR merged (https://github.com/vacp2p/10ksim/pull/15)
    • Create class to manage data (https://github.com/vacp2p/10ksim/pull/16).
    • hardware offloaded for Waku testing
      • Built 24 new Kubernetes workers, configured them with static IPs and all tuning
      • Got new CX6 cards updated, configured, installed and working
      • Achieved hardware offloading; but:
      • Running a Waku workload, two interesting things happened
        • When we started the publisher, the load increased until the physical nodes become so unusably slow that they needed IPMI intervention to come back to life
        • Checking the offloadeded flows during the test (prior to publishing) showed no offloaded routes or flows.
      • We need to figure out how to get our workload offloaded correctly.

Last week:

vac:dr:

  • valpriv:vac:val-priv-net
  • valpriv:vac:tor-push-poc
    • could not launch holesky validators yet this week.
  • valpriv:vac:tor-push-paper
    • Finished changes as per feedback; next feedback round
  • gsub-scaling:vac:gossipsub-simulation
    • Played with IDontWant messags with different arrangements. Mainly investigated reduced message sending with/without hello messages. Reduced sending shows nearly 5-10% latency and 20-25% bandwidth reduction when message sizes reach beyond 600 KB. The findings are available as notion page
      • Interestingly {Reduced sending + IDontWant} without IHAVE messages shows similar performance to {Reduced sending + IDontWant + IHAVE}
  • zk:codex:storage-proofs-open-problems-review

vac:nes:

  • state-separation:vac:state-separation-doc
    • Worked on Defining state separation's SE and DE using PDAGs (Moudy)
    • Looked at nullifiers and their role in the architecture (Moudy)
    • Worked on different components for State Separation Architecture (Moudy)
    • Researched accumulators and trying to study how to integrate them (Moudy)
    • Updated report according to the meeting with Moudy about SE/DE in PDAGs (Ugur)
    • Reading on scalable privacy NC + state of art accumulation (Ugur)
    • Continued with monitoring (Marvin)
  • proofsystems:vac:research-existing-proof-systems
  • proofsystems:vac:benchmarks
    • Still working on the paper since new findings are arising (i.e. Nova Scotia not using Groth16) (will focus on that this week) (Moudy)
    • Dealt with server issues + prepared paragraph on difference in Nova-Scotia and Nova-Bellman (Rostyslav)
