Engineering Status

Execution

  • Team has started fourth weekly sprint of 21.02 release cycle (Sprint 10.4). Release 21.02 marks the second production version (Mainnet Release Candidate) of the Casper protocol.

This release will bring protocol upgrades, performance and hardening improvements. The protocol will also complete the integration with a custody provider during this release cycle.

Release

  • Tag v0.6.3 with Rust node was cut on 16 January 2021 and deployed on Delta testnet.

Delta Testnet

  • Delta Testnet will resume on Feb 8th. During the past 2 weeks, the team has been heads down on testing, hardening the networking layer, implementing validator ejection for liveness faults and upgrades. When we relaunch on the 8th, we will include a new node-launcher component that will handle the node upgrade process. We apologize for any inconvenience.
