Mans Verse

🛠️ Dev update: succinctness in its final stages • Succinctness: set to ship as a soft fork that keeps today's throughput limit. Capacity increases follow later by hard fork, preserving the recursive proof chain. • Security: research and review continue. • Mining: Lentern.io builds block proposals in as little as 39 seconds, NPTmining.com finds nearly 15% of blocks, and both major pools pay out time-locked coins correctly. • Wallets: a new community Chrome extension wallet is out. Coming this week: the succinctness pull request, with an explainer blog post in the works. Full update: talk.neptune.cash/t/dev-upda…

Exactly! A few additional catalysts: 1) Ethereum's evolving roadmap increasingly emphasizes privacy, ZK proofs, and post-quantum security. A testament to the forward-thinking design behind Neptune's architecture and technology. 2) Advances in AI-driven cryptanalysis and quantum computing are increasing the need for existing chains to strengthen their cryptographic foundations. Transitioning to quantum-resistant cryptography is no simple feat. We are early. 🔐 neptune-cash:native

Dev update: Neptune's next phase is taking shape 🛠️ More capacity, a smart contract unlock, and proofs built to scale: • Scaling: trimming the data each block carries so more fits, targeting 5,000 to 10,000 spent coins per block. • Smart contracts: a key design blocker is solved. Coinbase transactions will accept inputs, opening the door to standing swap orders. • Succinctness: proof trees keep the chain's proof efficient as blocks get busier, with proving split to run in parallel. Coming this week: smart contract code for community feedback and new research posts on the forum 👇 talk.neptune.cash/t/dev-upda…

⚡ Neptune Cash v0.19.0 is out, with 2 to 7x faster proving! • Triton VM v9, fully backward compatible with v8 • SingleProofs are 2 to 7x faster to prove for composers and proof upgraders, depending on CPU core count • Up to 25% less peak RAM on many-core machines • A 64 GB laptop can now serve the network's proving jobs • Networking fixes for more reliable peer connections This update brings block production and proof upgrading within reach of more modest hardware. Light wallets that build their own proofs (proof collections) will get substantially faster too, once the update lands there. Get v0.19.0: github.com/Neptune-Crypto/ne…

Another week, another dev update! 🛠️ • Succinctness is the next major milestone, and it will arrive via a hard fork • Exploring new ways to make transactions smaller and cheaper to process • Optimizations underway to make transaction proofs cheaper to generate • Improved networking so nodes can handle more work at the same time • Progress on smart contracts and how they'll plug into the network Full update: talk.neptune.cash/t/dev-upda…

Busy days ahead! ⚡ 1) New dev update: smart contract wallets and DeFi groundwork talk.neptune.cash/t/dev-upda… 2) Hard Fork Delta hits block 55,000 in under 2 days: Triton VM 8 + transaction chaining go live.
