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 performed further code auditing on the full node wallet, following on from last week’s code audit on the mining full node. We were able to fix a couple of API issues that could have led to Denial-of-Service vulnerabilities.
● We also made substantial upgrades to the databases for the mining full node and full node wallet, improving general performance.
● Finally, we performed a complete overhaul of the mnemonic function in the full node wallet.
