AURORA
EVM
- Matt Henderson joined our team!
- We tested ETH Connector from Ropsten to the NEAR Testnet;
- We streamlined our EVM stress testing tool to talk directly to NEAR JSON-RPC, instead of using Web3 emulation layer.
Bridge
- We made lots of incremental improvements to the bridge: added selection of networks to the UI, added various upgradability improvements, started working on NEP-141 standard integration, etc;
CORE
Berry Pickers
- We added contract standards into
near-sdk-rs! - Check out contract review of berry cards. We discuss the trick on efficiently using
env::storage_*;
Transaction Runtime
- We first made our accounts to be versioned but then decided to revert it, because we broke some tests;
Chain
- We created simulator for the new validator selection algorithm;
- We tried optimizing our trie iterator using rocksdb batch reads but unfortunately it did not give us performance boost;
Network
- We are actively working on new routing table implementation, but don’t have any complete code to show, yet
Node Interfaces
- New endpoint
experimental_protocolConfigis now exposed in near-api-js; - New actix version broke some of our error propagation, but we managed to fix it.
Contract Runtime
- We made our Wasm VM benchmarks more sophisticated;
- We sped up simulation tests by adding contract caching.
