If you are a team/person working on NEAR components and you want your progress updates to be included into the weekly update, please send your updates to [email protected] .

CORE

Transaction Runtime + Chain

• We started implementing parallel runtimes. As a nice side-effect we are going to have a documentation on all runtime triggers;
  • This is relevant to Applying chunks for different shards is 90% parallel key result;
• We implemented compilation of contracts when state changes;
  • This is relevant to Cost model of contract compilation corresponds to execution costs without leaking memory;
• Join the discussion on storing protocol config in a contract!

Node Interfaces

• We decoupled neard into binary and library crates, so now you can use NEAR node as a library!
• We released NEAR Indexer Framework 0.9.1;
• We made lots of improvements to our CI, dependencies between neard library and neard binary, and reference-level documentation.

Developer Platform

• We updated near-cli to not use deprecated functionality of near-api-js;
• We spent time figuring out whether implementing no_std support for Rust SDK should be implemented ASAP to reduce the contracts size, or there are other better ways of doing it;
  • This is part of the Reduce contract costs 2x key result;
• Check out the app that implements specialized NFT token!

Contract Runtime

• Check out the design doc on near-sandbox! Also, we documented the usage of the sandbox node, but haven’t merged yet;
  • This is related to The gas cost breakdown of a deployed contract is easily reproducible on a local machine key result;
• We removed ExecutionOutcome from PeerMessage so that we can add gas breakdown data into it.
  • This is related to The breakdown of the gas costs for contract execution are accessible on Mainnet by regular contract developers key result;
• We had to fix wrong error handling logic with wasmer 0.17
  • This is related to We exercised due diligence making sure Wasmer 1.0 is backward compatible key results;

AURORA

• We launched NEAR as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum!
• Check out the tutorial on Metamask on NEAR;
• Check out the tutorial on Truffle on NEAR;
• Check out the interface from transferring ETH from Ropsten to NEAR Testnet;
• Check out announcement on integration with Injective Protocol;
