The MASS consensus engine aims to become the basic infrastructure to all blockchain consensus layers. Based on a Proof-of-Capacity consensus protocol, the MASS consensus engine creates a consensus layer that is permissionless, fair, energy efficiency, secure, and universal, ensuring the fundamental security of the public chain. The MASS consensus engine is universal and is capable of providing consensus services across any number of public chains. Nodes use storage capacity to run the consensus protocol and do not require permission. The MASS consensus engine is fair and energy efficient; only a very small amount of computing resources is required, meaning everyone has the chance to participate.
● This week the MASS community development team focused on improving the security of the code in the full node wallet and mining full node. We were able to encapsulate secure computing methods for a number of data types, thereby preventing overflow vulnerabilities.
● We continued to optimise unit testing on the modules of the mining full node and the full node wallet.
● We also conducted a detailed code review on the initialisation module and found the current implementation does not present any vulnerabilities.
