Technical Updates 🤖

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

Cortex ZkRollup

1. ZkProver fixes CMake compilation and header file reference issues;
2. ZkProver investigates the GPU implementation of the dependent library, and tries to implement the GPU porting scheme of MCL and ALT BN 128;
3. ZkNode added Transaction mechanism of registration types and reconstructed existing Block state transition logic;
4. ZkNode added front-end startup function, and added transaction test case generation code;

Cortex Full Node

1. Added Torrent UTP OOM Test and synchronous download cache size to reduce repeated block downloads;
2. Optimize and repair some code logic;

Miscellaneous

1. Add the Infer demo (Solidity) that can be compiled by the new version of the compiler, and generate scripts that can be run by CVM;
2. Added CortexTheseus CVM independent entry module and passed the test, which can execute the instruction code generated by the compiler independently of the chain;
3. Plan to investigate the process of calling CVM to run functions from Tx JSON RPC to all nodes, and add function and field calling functions in the CVM unit;
4. Heco cross-chain contracts can be upgraded through Proxy, Operator Node improves fault tolerance and supports restoring state directly from the block log;

Community Updates 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦

1. Cortex Labs is planning on NFT Airdrop which includes JPG & GIF graphics
2. Cortex Labs NFT airdrop’s initial plan is out and now under preparation;
3. Cortex Wallet on-chain address data analysis;

4. Continue to pay attention to popular projects in the market and analyze project logic and economic models.

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, 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!
