Contractual progress
Below is a list of completed projects and milestones achieved by our Cardano Continuity suppliers.
| Contract | Duration | Progress | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|
IOI - CIP-1649 , Backlog & Cardano Node Maintenance | 1st Jan 24 - 31st Jan 25 | 3 / 4 Quarters Complete | Enables continuation of development of CIP 1694 hard fork in addition to other development work to maintain the network. |
WellTyped - LSM 1, 2, 3 & 4 | 24th Aug 23 - 13th Dec 24 | 8/11 Milestones Complete | This work develops new Log Structured Merge Tree implementations that will enable long-term scalability and sustainability for the Cardano node, by allowing large data structures to be stored externally to the node (eg on disk/SSD), but in a way that allows the data to be accessed efficiently when it is required. |
Bitergia - Interactive Ecosystem Visualizations | Feb 24- Dec 24 | 4/5 | Analyzing the footprint and ecosystem network of a client's open source community on GitHub to identify collaboration opportunities, visualize resource interdependence, and integrate external projects into an open dataset |
Tweag - Genesis | 1st Jan 24 - 31st May 24 | 6/8 Milestone Complete | Ouroboros Genesis mechanism: will enable new nodes to join the Cardano blockchain and bootstrap themselves without needing to rely on a trusted service. It also allows nodes to become disconnected and re-join the network in the same way. |
EMURGO - Serialization Library, Yoroi Extension Wallet, Yoroi Mobile Wallet, Educational Materials | 1st Jan 24 - 31st Jan 25 | 9/16 Milestones Complete | EMURGO produces Educational Materials which will cover every aspect of CIP 1694, testing and support of the Cardano Serialisation library, Yoroi Extension & Mobile Wallet. |
Tweag - BlockFetch | 20th May 24 - July 24 | 0/2 Milestones Completed | Developing a modification to the block fetch decision logic to ensure analogous responsiveness from block fetch peers. A report on how to identify a certain type of attack and what actions could be taken to mitigate such it. |
Tweag - Identity Management | 20th May 24 - Aug 24 | 0/1 Milestones Completed | Tweag will provide IOG with audits for the Identity management script which is an overlay. This script thus relies on the latest PlutusV3 features around governance. |
Galois - Halo 2 | 31st July 23 - 17th June 24 | Contract Completed | Halo 2 eliminates the need for a trusted setup. Development of Zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) for future interoperability of the Cardano economy. This contract supports work on repeatedly refining proof obligations until a base obligation can be discharged. |
Tweag - OpenSource | 17th Jan - 15th May 24 | Contract Completed | Conducted an assessment and provided advisory services to Intersect to develop the vision and strategy of the Open Source Program Office(“OSPO”), ensuring a successful transition for Cardano into an open-source environment |
Tweag - Guardrails | 20th May 24 - July 24 | Contract Completed | Tweag will provide IOG with audits for the Guardrail script which handles a filtering of users' proposals before being subjected to votes |
DQuadrant Hard Fork Testing | 10th May 24 - 17th July 24 | Contract Completed | Supporting Chang hard fork development activities by performing regression testing and testing of new features |
VacLabs - Ledger & Trezor hardware wallets | 10th May 24 - 13th Mar 24 [Delayed] | Contract Completed | Ensuring the continued practical use of the Ledger and Trezor hardware wallets for the Cardano community and enhancements to support the Conway era |
