- Looked into SE/DE previous works, still did not come up with a concrete way to do it. We will take the decision in the team this week.
- Answered doubts about Q4/Q1 documentations.
- Worked on Privacy flags and investigated whether we need True flags or not.

- Research wise I started to write some very high level notes on what I understand about NSSA with my own words (see here). Also I went through Moudy’s answers to my questions about Q4/Q1 docs and discussed with him about some points in UTXOs design (see here) and the need of privacy flags in the system.
- Engineering: I made progress with the update to the utxo crate (draft PR here). While doing so I created a PR (here) and some Issues (#66, #69 #70, #71) with questions and comments about implementations that seemed to deviate from the current specifications.

- Continued refactoring the Mix Protocol RFC [PR #158](https://github.com/vacp2p/rfc-index/pull/158)
- Finalized all sections through §7 (Mix Core Responsibilities).
- `ift:2025q2-libp2p-mix-testnet:surb-implementation`
- Began design work on SURB-based reply mechanism.
- Early concern: if fragmentation remains external to Mix Protocol, recipients may need multiple SURBs to reply. This blocks replies unless the sender pre-supplies sufficient SURBs.
- [PR 20](https://github.com/vacp2p/mix/pull/20)
- Began properly familiarising.
- Upstreamed the node testing into the poc branch (this avoids having to push to github any upstream dependency changes)
- resolved issue of mis-reported msg-id
- confirmed resiliancy at large-value msg-ids
- `nes:2025q2-nescience-consulting:unifying-q1-docs`
- Delivered [unified Q1 document](https://www.notion.so/nes-2025q2-nescience-consulting-unifying-q1-docs-1eb8f96fb65c80c78c53d78004827ebc).
- Delivered [fundamentals of Nescience presentation notes](https://www.notion.so/NSSA-presentation-1f88f96fb65c803da57ff30ce74dcd35).
- `nes:2025q2-nescience-consulting:SE-DE-improvements`
- Began work on [SE/DE improvements and sync](https://www.notion.so/nes-2025q2-nescience-consulting-SE-DE-improvements-1fc8f96fb65c80d19c4ad9b101f228ca).
- Determined non-membership proof is likely the only optimisation for DE; changing nullifier tree structure to support BST would result in more drawbacks.
- Examined edge cases to refine SE.
- `ift:2025q2-rln-status-l2:rln-spec`
- Init a [doc](https://www.notion.so/RLN-Deployment-Specs-1f98f96fb65c806c8737d94851b4d14d) for RLN deployment spec. Prover side mostly done.
- `nes:2025q2-nescience-consulting:unifying-q1-docs`
- Reviewed [the unified document](https://www.notion.so/nes-2025q2-nescience-consulting-unifying-q1-docs-1eb8f96fb65c80c78c53d78004827ebc) before delivering.
