【Filecoin Weekly Report-59】Since the restart, the block time has returned to 30s

Co-edited by Steven Li and Joss

【Project Introduction】

Filecoin is a decentralized storage network that transforms cloud storage into an algorithmic market .

Miners - earn FIL by providing data storage and retrieval

Clients - pay FIL to allow miners to provide storage, distribution and retrieval services

【Project progress: Testnet phase2

Tested version:
  • Calibration stage

Test objectives:
  • Network security

  • Calibration Network Test (Running)

  • Testing Incentive Program (Possible Extension)

  • Economic model parameters (current parameters do not represent the mainnet)

Project progress:
  • Calibration has been running smoothly for a week, but there are still problems with receiving and sending orders.

  • Calibration was restarted again on Saturday to improve Bot , message mechanism, market connection, Gas calculation, etc.

  • The start time of the big miner test is tentatively scheduled for 8/12

【Last week’s hot spots】
  • On August 7, developer stuberman said on Slack that the space race originally planned to be launched last week was temporarily postponed due to some reasons, such as the low success rate of miners' Deals (issuing orders, receiving orders), shortage of faucet test coins, and mempool congestion.

  • On August 8, the Filecoin block browser filscan.io was updated, including following the Calibration network reset on that day and optimizing data display. Currently, from filscan.io , you can view the storage speed of the entire network and miners, single T revenue, miner efficiency, node ownership, etc.

  • There are many blockchain summits in August, including [Mars Blockchain POW'ER], [Shenzhen Distributed Storage Conference], [Chain Top International Blockchain Week], etc. Representatives from the Force Zone are invited to attend the conferences and will bring you wonderful sharing from multiple angles.

"A busy August of sharing knowledge, don't miss out on the wonderful content"

【Last week’s testnet progress】
1 ) The Calibration network was restarted on 08/01 :
  • The chain runs relatively smoothly and the block generation is relatively normal

  • As of the restart ( August 8 ), after running for a week, the block time returned to 30s

  • The network has been running for nearly a week, and the block generation rate is basically normal at 30 seconds. The average number of blocks per round is about 3.6 , the average number of messages is nearly 100 , and the average Gas price is about 500 million AttoFIL

  • The total network computing power is nearly 7 PiB , and it increases by about 1 PiB every day

  • The main problem is: the success rate of receiving and sending orders is too low

Reset again on 08/08, with more changes:
  • Market: Improve the effectiveness of addressing, update the Bot code, and hope that the success rate of miners will not be affected by the Bot 's own problems

  • Improved message filtering and selection to be more efficient

  • Gas fee calculation, using EIP1559 : GAS calculation is processed according to the basic fee and Tip .

  • I have a question, should the basic fee be burned? If there is no inflation model, burning is problematic.

    2) Testnet operation status:
    https://filscan.io

    (13:30 data)

    3) Main issues:
    • The success rate of receiving and sending orders is too low: mainly because the bot's own mechanism is not perfect and it often cannot find the route

    • Improper gas value setting

    • The message screening mechanism needs to be improved

    • There is a problem with the link logic for market customers to query pending orders

    【Last week’s development progress】

    Last week's major code and design progress

    • New code and bug fixes:

    • Add some useful interfaces, such as: obtaining Gas information on the chain ; estimating Gas prices;

    • Gas consumption handling: If the GasLimit is set too high (more than 30% of the used portion ), it will be burned directly; Improvement of Gas fee calculation;

    • Added message pruning mechanism to prevent expired messages from occupying the message pool for a long time; new message selection logic

    • Clarify some relationships between random numbers and make some corrections

    • Fixed some bugs : empty message block verification; empty bitfield processing, gas calculation, etc.

    • Support unseal

    • Paych enhances and improves some lock mechanisms

    • Rewrite the logic of block synchronization

    • Improve the communication logic between market clients and miners to increase the success rate

    • Design and Proofing Updates:

    • The design documentation is still being improved - many places have been written in depth

    • The security audit of the proof part is in progress, and the code has been modified. The changes are minor
