7th May – 14th May
Check out the latest from the heart of Humanode’s development:
🔺 Facetec & Biomapper Updates
Last week, we conducted comprehensive updates across various components of our primary biometric provider, Facetec. This encompassed enhancements to the server, web, test utilities, robonode, web app, mainnet, Botbasher, and Biomapper. Notably, the Biomapper now enables unstaking tokens and rewards claims without biomapping.
🔺 Blockchain Progress
Our dev team continues to push forward with Humanode's blockchain infrastructure. We successfully merging v0.9.42 of Substrate, signaling significant progress. Support of BLS12-381 and BN128 has been merged and included into 118 runtime spec version. Will be available on it6 and testnet5 this week. For detailed insights, explore our latest commits on Humanode GitHub.
🔺 E2E Network Testing
In our pursuit of robust network testing capabilities, we've made significant strides in developing a proprietary testing tool. Addressing limitations encountered with ZombieNet, especially in scaling to large node numbers, our new tool enables testing across multiple nodes. We're poised to test the genesis with over 1k validators, with plans to scale up to 5k in the near future.
🔺 Exploration of Confidential Virtual Machine (CVM) Protocols Attestation
We're venturing into the realm of Confidential Virtual Machine (CVM) attestation with an experimental example, a chat server. This specialized CVM will conduct attestation to clients, allowing authorized clients to exchange messages if the CVM is verified. This experimental code represents a significant step in our research and development efforts.
🔺 Research on Remote Attestation From Web Browsers
In addition to our CVM attestation endeavors, we're exploring support for remote attestation from web browsers. Recent progress includes the addition of a Cross WebTransport driver named xwt a.k.a. xwebtransport, a WebTransport interface for browsers and native that supports closing connections.
