Technical Updates 🤖

Machine-Learning(ML), CortexVirtual Machine(CVM) & Model RepresentationTool(MRT) R&D

1. MRT V3 develops front-end interface functions, supports remote calling, log output, configuration file operation, etc.;
2. MRT V3 back-end logic function optimization, cooperate with the front-end to implement RPC call library, add unit test, etc.;
2. The content of MRT quantitative papers continues to improve;

ZkRollup

1. Zion repaired the problem that the correct merkle state could not be restored when it was shut down and restarted under certain circumstances;
2. The front-end server adds more rest-api func to provide transaction information, account status, etc.;
3. zion-sdk adds chain, wallet and api encapsulation to support interaction with the layer 2 ZKP network;
4. The Zion front-end web page is built, and simple interaction logic and style adjustments are completed;
5. Zion server adds pressure test under fake proof, 500tx passes every second, it is planned to increase the throughput of proof client test more realistic scenarios;
6. Zion tests the server function, passes the complete transaction process under batch tx (using the simulation node block method), and interacts correctly with the same layer of the network;

Cortex Full Node

1. All nodes simplify the stack trie node structure, optimize and optimize the related functions of the virtual machine;
2. Optimize p2p dns encoding and other issues;
3. The main entrance of CVM is updated, adding the function of VM persistent state dump, and the runner module adapts to FS API;
4. CTXC Compiler updated to v0.8.10 version;

Community Updates 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦

1. Cortex Labs Chirsmas NFT designs are completed;
2. Cortex Labs is collaborating with several NFT Artists;
3. Cortex Labs is cooperating with community developers to launch the NFT platform and other related matters;
4. Cortex Labs is doing research on Metaverse projects;
5. Cortex Labs tries to analyze and explore the logic of the Metaverse project and opportunities for ecosystem collaboration on the Cortex chain;

About Cortex 😇

Cortex’s main mission is to provide state-of-the-art machine-learning models on the blockchain in which users can infer using smart contracts on the Cortex blockchain. One of Cortex’s goals also includes implementing a machine-learning platform that allows users to post tasks on the platform, submit AI DApps (Artificial Intelligence Decentralized Applications).

Cortex is the only public blockchain that allows the execution of nontrivial AI algorithms on the blockchain. MainNet has launched. Go build!
