2019.06| Genaro Network (GNX) Monthly Technical Report — June
New modular features enhance storage performance so that upload and download become significantly faster!
Summer is already here, this month, following the fiery rhythm, in addition to continuing to ensure the stable operation of the mainnet, Genaro technical team has designed a new modular function for V2.0 to improve distributed storage performance. The block browser also has been optimized; at the same time, the team has successfully conducted a feasibility study of the Fabric Alliance Chain. However, the new wave of technology breakthrough cannot occur overnight, and the consistent grinding and dedicated further exploration of the code will be the cornerstone of Genaro’s new journey in the second half of the year.
Meanwhile, please see our latest achievements of the past month.
Storage Layer:
Encrypted search research and framework construction, interface development and compilation.
Newly added related functions of the encrypted search:
Indexing when uploading files, can support full-text search of .pdf, .txt, .doc and other file formats.
Designed and built new modules to jointly upgrade the network optimization of the upgraded Audit2.0, P2P hole punching, and routing algorithms, in order to adapt to the new debugging protocol, the current status is 20% completed.
Merged the interface between the mining pool part and the front section. After the test, confirmed that the interface of the mining pool is running correctly.
Bridge V2.0 design and implementation:
The design part of Bridge V2.0 follows the original version of the design concept, but from the perspective of users, farmers, the following goals should be achieved:
1. User upload and download speed should become faster, there will be no long waiting for no prompt
2. More detailed information on the farmer side, including online duration, storage size, number of interruptions, number of penalties, and reward records.
3. The farmer client will become more convenient to update
The goals that the server should achieve:
1. Faster audit, which will realize more convenient and lighter distribution and interactive task transmission.
2. The faster response speed of the interface (the most efficient bridge request speed to the farmer)
3. Horizontal sustainable expansion capability.
V2.0 module function service optimization design:
Heartbeat / Quick Query Service Features:
1. The farmer sends a heartbeat package to the service every 5 seconds (to be determined) to prove that it is online.
2. Distribute non-immediate instructions to the farmer, including the audit directive. Attached to the return of the heartbeat package.
3. Inclusion of the discovered farmer, the implementation is as follows
a. Persistence to databases by other services via Redis subscription
b. Directly save to the database
Ip2location function:
This service provides ip to the location query service
Farmer-locations function:
This service maintains a country/city/region tree structure and provides the following functions based on this tree structure:
1. Add farmer node to the tree structure
2. Query several farmer nodes in the vicinity of an ip.
Chain‐monitor function:
1. Synchronize user purchase information from the chain
2. Synchronize farmer’s stake information from the chain
Public Chain Layer, cross-chain part:
Testnet code optimization to the latest code, keeping the testnet code consistent with the mainnet code after debugging.
Multi-signature authentication implementation. The multi-signature transmission system is designed in details, obtained running results and their implementation.
Formatted output implementation of cross-chain receipts.
Blockchain browser section:
The block browser rewrite has been completed, and the response time of all interfaces after rewriting is less than 50 milliseconds.
Verified the browser bug and fixed the problem that caused by the abnormality of the chain connection, such as too many abnormal logs. The current solution is changed, if the user cannot connect to the mainnet, the system automatically attempts to reconnect several times and the mail with the related info will be sent to the relevant person if still failed.
Before the refactoring, the sqllite storage block transaction and other data query were very slow, and the user experience was poor. After refactoring, the block browser uses mongodb storage block transactions and other data, using mongodb fragmentation technology, block data, and sub-bank storage according to the miner’s address, so that the storage is more conducive to the miners to quickly query their own details. The transaction data is stored in the stock according to the address and the remainder, which is convenient for querying the transaction details of an address much faster.
Real-time monitoring of the node’s block rate is realized. The miners who report the block rate less than 95% every day notify the operators through email and the operators notify the miners to solve the problem in time.
Fabric Alliance Chain Feasibility Study
In the fabric environment, used the raft consensus to run the program to test the running status of the chain code contract to ensure the chain code runs normally.
Identified the access mechanism of the fabric and tried to manage the permissions of users and organizations via msp.
Switched the msp signature verification algorithm module and tested by the separation algorithm of tls CA and organization CA. There is no system incompatibility after separation detected.
Tested usage of the new encryption algorithm plug-in, so that the algorithm plug-in of other parties can also be used normally. At the same time, tested the running state of the fabric and checked whether the running status of the chain code under the new algorithm is normal.
Re-integrated the fabric image, reconfigured the underlying environment of the image, and let the image run stably.
Future prospects
In 2019, Genaro expects more outstanding developers and tech talents will start using our products and join the community & exchange ideas with the Genaro team to explore and innovate the underlying technology of the blockchain. More development progress will follow via official channels of Genaro Network.
We are committed to delivering advanced products and technologies in order to establish a blockchain ecosystem that meets market needs, please contact us if you are interested in cooperation or developing alliance chain: info@genaro.network.
