Metaverse Monthly Report — August 2021

In the month of August, we’ve continued to work hard on the much anticipated new-frontiers upgrade. Last month, we were in the process of working on a protocol for executing migrations and improving testing environments by simulating the existing network with Kubernetes. However, as the upgrade is truly a novelty (which will prepare the network for a hybrid consensus) and has never been achieved before, we encountered some roadblocks that pushed us into different directions.

Ultimately, we have finalized the plan to migrate from hyperspace by using the solution to replay EVM transactions from hyperspace and injecting them into new-frontiers:

1. Consensus:
a) Disabled Aura and Grandpa finalization on new-frontier
b) Replaced with manual-seal consensus

2. Transaction replay.
a) The transaction history of the original chain is collected
b) Perform the actual migration block by block, extrinsic by extrinsic, and then manually seal the block with a RPC call
d) Copy the timestamp from hyperspace to new-frontiers

We’re continuing to test transactions using docker to replicate a small network similar to Hyperspace. For more information, please refer to our GitHub:

Simultaneously, we have also started on the development of a wallet that will be used after the migration and hope to announce a beta version next month!

For the next steps, we hope to complete the migration in the next month and optimize the network for new-frontiers.
