Dev Milestones

MS-1.0

Requirements

• P2P layer supporting DHT based on Kademlia, secured and authenticated sessions and proprietary Gossip protocol
• Synchronise newcomers with the latest mesh
• New tx API - receive tx from CLI wallet, broadcast it and store it in the tx pool
• Offchain BA on layer structure - complete Hare protocol support (w/o signature validation)
• Minimal mining w/o PoST commitment - publishing block based on fake oracle's eligibility with the real view, votes (i.e. hare result), and txs out of the tx pool
• Minimal syntactic validation of new blocks - only validating eligibility based on fake oracle
• Contextual validation of new blocks - optimized Tortoise, no self-healing
• Maintaining accounts state (balance, nonce) up until the point of consensus

Expected date

Fab 14th, 2019

Supported players

• Only honest miners
• Only valid transactions
• Honest and malicious hare players (limited by half of the hare committee)

MS-2.0

Requirements

Node

• PoST initialization, proof, and verification
• PoET proof, verification, and service
• NIPST orchestration
• Block syntactic validity including miner's activation and eligibility validation
• VRF for layer committee
• VRF for Hare committee
• Reward scheme (block reward and tx fees)
• Integrating the signature schemes (Hare messages, tx/block validation)
• Data deduplication on state
• P2P discovery over secured UDP
• Optimized Gossip

App

• Sign In / Sign Up screens
• Send / Receive screen
• Full node configuration screen

Automation

• Construct Automation Pipeline to run tests on new code pushed to develop branch -The pipeline will include 1) build 2) deploy 3) test
• Create stable cloud architecture to accommodate tests (including k8s cluster, elasticsearch, kibana, grafana, etc.)
• Prevent vendor locking by utilizing both AWS and GCP
• Verify optimized performance of elasticsearch in scale - design indexes handling
• Prepare test configuration management - enable control tests by explicit configuration
• Design and implement an easy way to interact with Spacemesh nodes in k8s cluster through gRPC
• Design and implement an easy way to write queries for elasticsearch through tests.
• Make sure we are able to run Spacemesh network at scale.
