AURORA

EVM

• We published EVM developer documentation updates;
• Improved the Geth compatibility of our Web3 RPC endpoints;
• Improved the CLI tool and client library for interacting with the EVM;
• Designed the initial ERC-20 bridging architecture;

Bridge

• We were solving the proof verification bug, the solution to which was merged and already deployed to the mainnet. This bug caused around 1% of the users to be unable to finalise their transfers. All the transfers were successfully finalised since then.
• We’ve designed the way how to bridge tokens into Aurora.
• We’ve also been working on fixing the problem with Berlin hardfork (which resulted in 1h outage). We’ve merged the PR for optimising Ethereum-side of the bridge (soon to be deployed to the mainnet; the enhancement will reduce bridge maintenance costs). We’ve continued our work on eth-connector and also focused on the Aurora release preparations.

CORE

Developer Platform

• Check out Rust contract development best practices!
• We have reviewed community project called Pool Party, which is similar to Pool Together;
• Rust SDK version 3.1.0 was published, see release notes;

Node Interfaces

• We now have shared read-only public access to explorer data!
• We performed the sanity check of the total supply being equal to the sum of all the balances.
• Check out indexer troubleshooting guide!

Contract Runtime

• We are working on a tool that will reproduce Mainnet contract execution locally for better DevX;
• We unified error handling between Wasmer 0.x and Wasmer 1.0;

Chain

We are working hard on flakiness of our integration tests and other kinds of flaky behavior.

Transaction Runtime

• Join discussion on global key-value storage!
• We fixed various issues, like this one with storage state;

Network

• Our new routing table mechanism is being extensively manually tested;
