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 made improvements to the mining full-node’s database module, fixing the issues with atomic operations during indexing and block persistence.

●We conducted detailed testing on the API interfaces for each function of the full-node wallet.

●We also performed a variety of test attacks on the mining full-node. The network successfully stood up to nothing-at-stake, low-difficulty long-chain, and multi-fork attacks.
