- `vac:rfc:ift:2025q1-integration-with-qa:setup`
- Overview

- `vac:rfc:nomos:2025q1-raw-rfcs-support-data-availability`
- Overview
- After several rounds of productive communication with several team members, got a green light that ALL specs that are in green can go into the rfc-index, starting with DA but with the note that there will be updates soon.
- Nomos team is in line with RFC team's values and this is a start of a fruitful collaboration, as our team members will be part of iteration planning sessions (the Nomos way of planning the upcoming work).
### Nim
#### highlights
- Multiple fixes and improvements for the langserver and the extension. Release is comming soon
- Initial work in the declarative parser for `nimble`.
- `nimble` fixes
### Nescience
#### Highlights
- Analysed epoch restrictions and explored solutions to mitigate delays in SE and DE workflows by designing block-independent mechanisms for immediate finality.
- Investigated multi-epoch constraints in SE & DE and evaluated different zk-rollup and zkVM-based approaches, including Miden’s impact on NSSA.
- Conducted refactoring based on sandbox testnet feedback, implementing fixes for warning handling, error handling, and redundancy issues.
- Worked on gas usage and opcode profiling for RISC0 zkVM, focusing on defining a gas model for smart contract execution.
- Result-wise, we have a potential initial approach to go from multiple-epoch to single-epoch as well as a way to optimise SE and DE avoiding bottlenecks. This leads to an open question on how NSSA enables users to invoke public smart contracts with a private transaction.
- We also got some improvements regarding the gas model and limits on usage.
#### Report
- `vac:nes:state-separation-architecture-poc`
- Overview:
- Analysed the impact of epoch-based execution on SE and DE workflows, identifying key bottlenecks and researching approaches to minimise delays.
- Investigated how zk-rollups and zkVMs are affected by epoch constraints and explored methods to submit ‘intermediate’ transactions alongside initial transactions to improve efficiency.
- Explored Miden’s approach to addressing NSSA execution constraints and considered circuit modifications for more efficient processing.
- Examined multi-epoch constraints in SE & DE to assess feasibility for single-epoch execution without compromising correctness or performance.
- Revisited time-release approaches and investigated using zkEVM instead of zkVM R0 for improved efficiency.
- Addressed sandbox testnet feedback by refactoring code to enhance maintainability, scalability, and performance. Fixes included improving warning handling, error handling, redundancy reduction, and updating JSON RPC documentation for node RPC.
- Developed a gas model for RISC0 zkVM by profiling opcode usage, memory costs, and computational overhead. This research will support a decentralised sequencer model with predictable and efficient gas consumption.

- `ift:2025q1-libp2p-mix-poc:simple-gossipsub-poc`
- Based on the discussions:
- The exit must support GossipSub when part of the pub-sub topic, requiring its Mix instance to invoke the local GossipSub handler via the exit abstraction (already implemented).
- If the exit is not part of the pub-sub topic, it establishes a client-only connection to the destination.
- Instead, implemented a version where the *destination MUST support Mix*, allowing the destination’s Mix instance to invoke its local GossipSub instance, sending the message as if it originated there (branch link will be updated).
- Still need to fix callback integration with GossipSub.
- Next: Update PoC to reflect these changes.

- Delivered the MDS checker blogpost [pr](https://github.com/vacp2p/vac.dev/pull/164).
- Reviewed [blogpost pr](https://github.com/vacp2p/vac.dev/pull/164).
- `ift:2025q1-de-mls-multi-admin:consensus-research`
- Worked and compared scalable consensus mechanism such as [Hedera Hashgraph](https://hedera.com/learning/hedera-hashgraph/what-is-hashgraph-consensus) and [Libra/Diem](https://developers.diem.com/papers/diem-consensus-state-machine-replication-in-the-diem-blockchain/2019-10-24.pdf) for the governance layer of the de-MLS.
- Study Hedera Hashgraph more, since it is decentralized and scalable consensus model which is appropriate for de-MLS.
