Status Updates (December, 2020) > December 11, 2020

DAEDALUS

Last week, the Daedalus team worked on the delivery of Daedalus 3.0.0-FC4 and 3.0.0 releases. The latter brings support for Ledger Nano S, Ledger Nano X, and Trezor Model T hardware wallets to the Daedalus mainnet. Users can now transact with ada and delegate wallets with Daedalus using these devices.

Daedalus 3.0.0 also features stake pool ranking improvements, such as the inclusion of the intended amount of stake (as selected by the stake slider) into the ranking calculation. Another notable change is the pool ranking adjustment that will benefit smaller pools that have only produced a few blocks.

ADRESTIA

This week, the team released a series of Allegra-ready components: Allegra wallet, REST-API, GraphQL, and Rosetta. The team is now switching focus to Mary-ready components.

They are also working on including multisig into the wallet, integration of the Mary node, adding multi-asset features into the wallet, and upgrading APIs for Mary.

NETWORKING

Last week, the team continued working on the connection manager integration, on-chain root peers discovery, and bug resolution in tx-submission. They also analyzed some deployment scenario risks and continued working on the cardano-CLI.

DEVOPS

Last week, the team deployed the 1.24.2 version of the cardano-node, upgraded cardano-db-sync, and updated the cardano-faucet to be supported within the Allegra development theme. The Project Catalyst application deployments are also in progress.

CARDANO DECENTRALIZATION

Last week, the team implemented final changes into the 1.24.1 version of the cardano-node for benchmarking purposes. They also merged the delegation map metric into the node, which will make the mainnet delegation map size available after DevOps deployment, updated the transaction generator to support the 1.24.1 version of the node, and started the Amazon Web Services (AWS) deployment.

The team also designed a preliminary sketch for the metrics and trace forwarding and improved trace forwarder reconnection features. They also enabled GitHub Actions CI for the iohk-monitoring by adding macOS and Windows support, fixed some issues in the CLI, added more details and information within the latest 0.2.0 RTView release and worked on the resource usage debugging.

Finally, they elicited new requirements for the block distribution benchmark and estimated KPI metrics detailing the action plan.

GOGUEN

Last week, the Plutus team added values for last compiled code and last evaluated simulation to the state. This means that you can now perform a comparison with the current code or simulation to check for changes. They also implemented some updates to the SMContractError, which improves the way the state machine handles invalid transitions.

The Marlowe team redesigned the new project modal in the Marlowe Playground frontend. They also worked on a proof of concept for an Agda definitions generator for the Actus standard.
