Nervos CKB Development Update #24

by LinFeng Qian, Cipher Wang, Xuejie Xiao and Ian Yang

Nov 18 - Dec 1

TL;DR

• Aggron Testnet has been re-set.
• The team is focusing on the performance, interface, tests and documentation.

Changes in CKB

Aggron Testnet was halted because of a hash rate surge. We have re-set the chain. In the future, we’ll re-set the testnet as needed, and whenever there are no blocks mined within an hour of the re-set.

The team’s focus in this stage is to improve performance and interface, test and document. We are working on these areas:

• Add options to prune history data. It will reduce both memory and disk storage requirement to run a full node.
• Improve the chain synchronization performance.
• Refactor the RPC interfaces. Add more RPC, based on the feature requests.
• Propose and implement a more decentralized boot nodes configuration solution.
• Improve documentation.
