🟢 TestNet Rehearsal
- 100% completeness of TestNet Rehearsal

Grade: 10 / 10

-
🔴 Consensus
- Attempt #1: Remove State Sync dependency on FSM
- Attempt #3: finish minimum viable state sync
-
Grade: 1 / 10
- Very little time left to work on this
-
🟢 Persistence
- MVP of the full commit & rollback DEMO
-
Grade: 7 / 10
- The test which was going to be the demo has fought me more than expected but good progress has been made, there’s a design document ready, and the test harness is there, the mocks and the submodule interactions have been the problem.
-
🟢 P2P
- Attempt #N: Finishing off and merging in everything related to gossip and background
- Grade: 8.5 / 10
- 🔴 Primary focus: observability
- Open question: need to identify issues w/ metric access
- Streamlining logging: Make structured logging system easily available to new devs w/ documentation part of LocalNet instructions
- Attach smaller tickets in a separate repo to V2
-
Grade: 0 / 10
- Other infrastructure related maintenance issues took away time from being able to focus on observability
-
🟢 Trustless Relay
- Session caching on the client
- Finish all the PRs in flight (review, merge in)
- Provide an E2E test that works, blocks CI if it breaks, documented and visible (DEMO)

-
🟡 Feature Flags
- Scope out the work necessary and create an E2E Feature Path github ticket using the template we created
-
Grade: 5 / 10
- Research and design doc made good progress w/ support from bigBoss bus still a lot to do.
-
🟢 SMST
- Get it reviewed & merged in
- Clean up the documentation & merge it in
- Visualizers: create a visualizer for the tree
- Present: Finish off the SMT presentation
- Stretch goal: potentially start storing trustless relays in it
-
Grade: 8.5 / 10
- SMST merged (wrapper around SMT option)
- Visualiser is accurate but not pretty could do with some more work
- Presentation went well but definietly could improve on some packed slides
- Need to work closer with @Arash Deshmeh to get it in prod with M3
-
🟢 ICS23
- Put up the github ticket and PR for reivew to merge in the proof mechanisms
- Up to cosmos on ETA to review/merge
-
Grade: 9 / 10
- ICS23 merged in our repo using my fork of
cosmos/ics23as a dependency - My explanations on why the exclusion proof is needed can improve as others find it hard to understand
- Cosmos PR is ready to merge pending review (probably take a while)
- ICS23 merged in our repo using my fork of
-
🟡 ICS24
- Put up event logging for review; stretch goal is to merge
-
Grade: 6 / 10
- ICS-24 stores have made great progress
- Event logging unfortunately didnt make this fortnight
- Message onto/off of bus as transactions works well 👍🏻
-
🟡 Light client spike
- Start knowing where to head with research
-
Grade: 5 / 10
- ICS-02 specced out well
- ICS-08 needs more work into its design
- Need to learn more about CosmWasm and WasmVM
- WIP document needs to be converted to ticket epic
Please note that everything that was not Done in iteration19 is moving over to iteration20.
