Project Health

Everything is on track - Iroha 1 keeps maintained. Bugs are fixe, some smaller new features and refactoring are done. Iroha 2 is in very active development with a big team. Together with the Hyperledger Team we shared a survey that should help make good design decisions on certain features. 

Community is doing good, internships are done - just some small issues need to be fixed for releases. 

Required Information

  1. Have you switched from master to main in all your repos? Yes.

Overall Activity in the Past Quarter

Communications are on track - questions are answered; there are plans for discussing plans for Iroha with active community members. Questions are replied (thanks to our community for a lot of help there!). About the technical accomplishments, here they are: 

v1

Worked on fixing small issues and improved stability of Iroha for releasing it:

  1. Improved crash tolerance of the nodes; 
  2. Fixed memory issues;
  3. Run sequence of high-load tests with different network configurations. 

v2

  1. Core maintainers team expanded
  2. All client libraries finished - now they will be periodically updated
  3. Introduced p2p library to increase performance
  4. Improved transaction gossiping
  5. Introduced metadata to entities in WSV
  6. Introduced Query Permissions

Current Plans

v1

  1. Special Iroha mode: synchronising the nodes without taking part in consensus
  2. Improve processes for Multi-signature transactions and ordering service
  3. Customise cache for RocksDB

v2
