13 | 13 |
|
14 | | -* Complete the ABI encoder / decoder PR (https://github.com/status-im/nim-web3/pull/216) |
15 | | - * Fix offsets encoding issue |
16 | | - * Use `nim-fastream` api advance to avoid loading the whole buffer in memory for dynamic data |
17 | | - * Apply PR's feedback (comments, handling int overflow decoding...) |
18 | | - * Replace the old encode / decode functions by the new decoder in nim-web3 |
19 | | - * Test in eth1 (https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth1/pull/3554) |
20 | | - * Testing in eth2 and nwaku (in progress) |
| 14 | +* ABI encoder / decoder integration in web3 (https://github.com/status-im/nim-web3/pull/216) |
| 15 | + * Complete decoding |
| 16 | + * Fix dynamic data encoding |
| 17 | + * Integration with nim-serialization |
| 18 | + * Benchmark (https://github.com/2-towns/nim-abi-benchmark) |
| 19 | +* extracted async iterators to a spearate Nim package - initial version, work in progress: https://github.com/codex-storage/nim-asynciterators |

26 | | -Status desktop requirements FURPs PR has been created: https://github.com/status-im/status-desktop/pull/18483) |

34 | | -### Specs |
35 | | - |
36 | | -Kicked off specs effort for existing modules. |
37 | | -Template: https://hackmd.io/@codex-storage/rkbytlbOxg |
38 | | -Kanban of components to spec: |
39 | | -https://github.com/orgs/codex-storage/projects/6/views/1 |
40 | | -Due 15 August |
41 | | -Specs will be contained in https://github.com/codex-storage/codex-docs-obsidian |
| 23 | +Use cases have been more or less understood through requirements gathering efforts. |
42 | 24 |
|
43 | | -### Offsite |
| 25 | +#### Waku requirements |
44 | 26 |
|
45 | | -Have more or less decided on mid-November for the offsite, to come after a |
46 | | -prototype is delivered, as there is not a lot of other convenient times due to |
47 | | -holidays and other availability considerations (eg paternity leave). Location |
48 | | -will be in Europe to keep costs down. Initial idea is Canary Islands but could |
49 | | -move to more central Europe to drop costs further. |
| 27 | +Final round of reviews went into the [FURPs requirements](https://github.com/waku-org/pm/pull/328), which were merged. After much discussion, the Waku use cases are summarised in https://hackmd.io/@codex-storage/B1DYfESPlg. |

51 | | -### Roadmap |
52 | | - |
53 | | -We are working towards a roadmap that replaces bittorrent in status-go with |
54 | | -a prototype of the new Codex. |

| 29 | +#### Status desktop requirements |
71 | 30 |
|
72 | | -1. Write existing component specs, 11-15 August |
73 | | -2. Create a new design validated by the requirements. Deliver roadmap. (working |
74 | | - groupathon), 18-29 August |
75 | | -3. Write specs for new protocol design, 1-12 Sept |
76 | | -4. Start engineering, deliver BT replacement *prototype* in `status-go`, 8 September-14 Nov |
| 31 | +An initial meeting with Jo helped us get a better understanding of what was needed from Status Desktop. Plans to create FURPs the following week (spoiler: https://github.com/status-im/status-desktop/pull/18483) |

78 | | -### Solutions engineering |
| 33 | +#### New altruistic design ideas |
79 | 34 |
|
80 | | -* Updates to constellations prototype: automatic support feature, stability improvements. |
| 35 | +* Rahul -- [using an altrustic version of Codex v1](https://hackmd.io/@codex-storage/H1uDkyLvxx) |
| 36 | +* Eric -- [replication network](https://hackmd.io/Z3j1YBZ2SF6XKykRJ1ZF2g?both) |

82 | | -### Research |
| 38 | +#### Research efforts |
83 | 39 |
|
84 | | -* Completed hotspot calculations for Zipf-based query distribution. |
85 | | -* Researched on Dandelion++ (Stem & Fluff) based protocols |
86 | | -* [Altruistic musings](https://hackmd.io/jN6IN1qQQyaVSt9uGhHu9Q) |
| 40 | +* Explored DHT light client architectures and evaluated the JS-IPFS implementation. |
| 41 | +* Investigating privacy-preserving approaches for message propagation in P2P overlay networks. |
| 42 | +* [DHT scaling formulations](https://hackmd.io/@codex-storage/rkIWizSvee), including bandwidth estimates for content distribution, query traffic, maintenance, and repair. |
| 43 | + * Generated traffic matrices across varying network sizes. |
| 44 | +* Learning the details of multivariate zk protocols. [Draft writeup on sum-check](https://hackmd.io/_3xKeSMKQZ6P-kDxBEhueA) |
| 45 | +* Started researching light-weight (off-chain) approaches to sampling proofs - KZG-based, FRI-based, and Ligero-based (mainly ZODA). Plan is to explore these more in the coming days for the altruistic mode. |
| 46 | +* Started work on making the plonky2 proof aggregation tree as a standalone general-use repo that can possibly be used by other projects that requires N-to-1 proof tree aggregation. |
