Weekly development report as of 2026-10-09

CORE TECHNOLOGY This week, the consensus team moved the Leios database to main and split its SQLite backend into modules by job. The mempool now reserves room for an Endorser Block alongside the ranking block, and each transaction carries a second measure for its cost in an Endorser Block. That capacity comes from the protocol parameters in the Dijkstra era...

Weekly development report as of 2026-10-02

CORE TECHNOLOGY This week, the ledger team put most of its effort into Leios and the block header changes that support it. Each protocol now has its own block header interface, which can be specified era by era, and Dijkstra headers no longer rely on a self-reported protocol version. On the Leios side, the ledger now selects the Leios committee at the epoch...

Weekly development report as of 2026-09-25

CORE TECHNOLOGY This week, the consensus team split the Leios prototype's database into two files, one for data that can still be rolled back and one for settled data, with certified Endorser Blocks moving from the first to the second in the background; operators can put each file on its own disk. Garbage collection now runs in two paced steps, marking rows...

Weekly development report as of 2026-09-18

CORE TECHNOLOGY This week’s update from the ledger team covers four weeks of work. The headline item: Dijkstra's batch validation now runs Plutus scripts for sub-transactions and counts their execution budgets, closing a gap where sub-transaction validators and minting policies went unchecked and their costs escaped transaction and block limits and script f...

Weekly development report as of 2026-09-11

CORE TECHNOLOGY This week, the consensus team made several improvements to the Leios prototype. They rewrote the download decision logic so nodes bound both the time and memory spent on pending downloads, prioritize the newest endorser blocks, and avoid saturating the same peer with concurrent requests. They also added a transaction cache so nodes don't re-...
