You’ll be able to view the Chang timeline and a few of the steadily requested questions by the arduous-fork working group here.
Supply assurance
Continuity companion WellTyped, has efficiently reached the LSM project’s essential milestone by demonstrating to the engineering staff code paths for creating, opening, and performing batch lookups inside LSM run information, together with exams and benchmarks.
UTxO-LMDB answer
The Enter Output Infrastructure (IOI) staff has been engaged on enhancements to permit out-of-reminiscence storage of key knowledge constructions utilized by the Cardano node. Bounding the node’s complete reminiscence utilization will guarantee lengthy-time period scalability for stake swimming pools, wallets, and different node customers.
The answer will transfer the UTxO, stake tackle & delegation, and stake distribution from reminiscence to out-of-reminiscence storage, bounding the quantity of RAM required and profiting from fashionable SSDs. Engineers at IOI have been creating the primary answer utilizing the off-the-shelf Lightning Reminiscence-Mapped Database (the UTxO-LMDB Answer) for round a yr.
Extra updates will probably be introduced within the coming weeks, and volunteers will probably be sought to help with growth testing and tuning. You can too discover out extra info here.
