## Vac 2025/07/14 §

### highlights §

- QA: Keycard first tests executed
- QA: Progress on status mobile app testing using appium
- QA: Waku sync testing almost done
- QA: Improvements in execution and speed for status desktop automated tests
- DST: Analyzing potential reproducible issue with waku Store protocol

### vac:p2p: §

- `ift:2025q1-gossipsub-perf-improvements`
  - Looked into Ethereum consensus, and P2P interface specs
  - Looked in detail into DAS (and possible approaches and discussions on dissemination and sampling)
    - catching up different discussions and proposals on dissemination and sampling
- `vac:p2p:ift:2025q2-nimlibp2p-maintenance:maintenance`
  - Started to modify nim-quic to use BoringSSL/AWS-LC (they’re the same API wise, still not sure which one to use)
  - Currently it uses cmake and this is a big problem as it still introduces an additional dependency and nimbus is actively trying to avoid to use cmake
  - I’m trying to get it to compile without cmake, just with {.compile.} pragmas
- `vac:p2p:ift:2025q2-nimlibp2p-maintenance:maintenance`
  - continued working on performance improvements issue: nim-libp2p#1484
    - current performance improvement is approximately 55.5%
    - chore: utilizing newSeqUninitialized nim-libp2p#1510
    - chore: add template newSeqUninit nim-libp2p#1518
    - perf(noise): encryptWithAd improvement nim-libp2p#1520
    - refactor(yamux): memory usage improvements nim-libp2p#1504
      - one test fails
  - chore: removing unused type StreamSeq nim-libp2p#1507
- `vac:p2p:ift:2025q2-nimlibp2p-autotls:cert-installation`
  - Wrapping up cert installation
  - Dealing with async issues on switch
- `vac:p2p:ift:2025q2-nimlibp2p-kad-dht
  - Primed my brain reading the original research paper
  - perused the spec
  - Documented initial code perusal with a PR
- `misc/admin`
