Technical Updates 🤖

Machine-Learning(ML), CortexVirtual Machine(CVM) & Model RepresentationTool(MRT) R&D

1. Merge MRT v3-related code;
2. Test the accuracy and time-consuming of MRT models on CPU and GPU, and update related documents.

ZkRollup

1. Add the cli tool for init merkle tree;
2. Implement the function of restoring the L2 state from the data on the chain (calldata of the contract);
3. Increase the genesis confirmation of zknode to prevent data loss caused by restarting the database multiple times;
4. Optimize the calculation of Poseidon hash and EdDSA verify, and greatly reduce the tx processing time of zk node;
5. Optimize js, python debugging process, and add a lot of tests;
6. Fix the interaction problem with the front-end api and some code compatibility problems of zion sdk, and prepare for v1 to go live.

Cortex Full Node

2. invalid transactions ddos protect;
3. backoff timer leak fix;
4. state database disk func cleanup;
5. P2p message rate calculation optimized;
6. Prevent OOM situation due to large reorg logs;
7. Check the error from pre-images generation;
8. Cortex Node version update v1.10.32

Community Updates 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦

  • Communication with exchanges partners about mining pool & node update
  • Working on a new Wallet feature

About Cortex 😇

Cortex’s main mission is to provide state-of-the-art machine-learning models on the blockchain in which users can infer using smart contracts on the Cortex blockchain. One of Cortex’s goals also includes implementing a machine-learning platform that allows users to post tasks on the platform, and submit AI DApps (Artificial Intelligence Decentralized Applications).

Cortex is the only public blockchain that allows the execution of nontrivial AI algorithms on the blockchain. MainNet has launched. Go build!
