Status Updates (January, 2021) > January 22, 2021

DAEDALUS

Last week, the Daedalus team released Daedalus Flight version 3.2.0-FC1. It features a redesigned Delegation center, which shows delegation preference changes and their effect. It is now possible to see which stake pools are currently earning rewards, and which pools will start earning rewards in future epochs. Users can review their previous delegation preferences by checking the stake pool details.

Also, this version allows sending funds to Byron legacy addresses via ledger devices.

ADRESTIA

Last week, the Adrestia team spent most of their time working on upgrading various APIs in preparation for Mary.

Also, they worked on adding multi-asset features to the wallet, began testing and integration with the new version of the node & DB-Sync, and scoped out a plan for delivering token locking and multisig features.

NETWORKING

Last week, the team tested the performance of the connection manager and resolved node performance issues related to memory consumption and high transaction load.

DEVOPS

Last week, DevOps enhanced the Catalyst toolset to perform generation of Move Instantaneous Rewards (MIR) certificates to distribute rewards on the mainnet.

They also performed a series of automated tasks: command line automation to enable sending funds to multiple addresses from an account backed by a hardware wallet (or mnemonic), extraction of bulk account keys, changing delegations for up to 100 accounts in a single wallet, and enabling the Rosetta API to fetch UTxOs and generate time to live (TTL) transaction properties.

The team is now preparing different environments for quality assurance testing of the cardano-node version 1.25.

CARDANO DECENTRALIZATION

Last week, the team continued reviewing the Alonzo specification and worked on protocol parameters generalization and optimization for the upcoming Mary hard fork. They performed further system-level performance benchmarks.

The team also made progress on infrastructure improvements, updating the transaction generator to support Mary properties, and moving configuration profile machinery from Amazon Web Services (AWS) to the cardano-node local cluster.

There is also ongoing discussion about production-friendly memory profiling.

GOGUEN

Last week, the Plutus team improved example simulations in the Plutus Playground and reorganized wallets in the basic game simulation. They also updated the plutus-metatheory documentation and improved emulator logs and the appearance of contract instance log messages in the playground.

The Marlowe team resolved a simulation error when using Blockly in the Marlowe Playground. Additionally, they continued working on their Marlowe design strategy.
