[Filecoin Weekly Report-59] Calibration network reset multiple times, test launch time is undecided

Co-edited by Steven Li and Iris

【Project Introduction】

• Calibration stage

• Network security

• Calibration network test (already started)

• Testing Reward Program (may be extended, specific time is not determined)

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

  
  

• Entering the calibration period, the network resets several times

• Frequent updates of economic models, Gas calculations, etc.

• The large miner test depends on the order situation of the Calibration network

• Since the Calibration was launched, it has been reset twice in the last week. Due to the transaction success rate (most miners failed to reach a 75% success rate), the test reward plan may be postponed. The launch time is defined between August 6 and August 12; if many miners are still unable to accept orders normally on August 12, the network will be launched as usual.

• On July 29, a video about FIL staking suddenly went viral. I want to say: The official parameters are just preliminary at the moment, and there will be more adjustments in the test reward plan and the main network. Miners, don’t panic.

• On July 31, Filecoin officially announced two other events , Apollo & Launchpad , aimed at promoting the implementation of Filecoin.

• On August 1, Filecoin officially held a live broadcast with ETHGlobal on its youtube channel, mainly discussing the Filecoin retrieval market.

• The Filecoin team officially began to experiment with the storage market and retrieval market, and robots began to work

• Launched multiple rankings, including miner computing power, order success rate, block rewards, etc.

  
  

（14:00 data）

Due to two resets last week, no statistical analysis was done on the network data. Those who are interested can check it on Filscan.

• Large amount of mortgage

• The success rate of orders is generally low

Last week's major code and design progress

• New code and bug fixes:

• The blst library is used to replace the original BLS library, and the BLS verification and hash calculation efficiency is increased by more than 5 times

• In the event of an empty wheel, regular tasks are still processed

• More elegant command line output, continuous improvement

• Improve some issues:

  Bug fixes for total circulating FIL; deadline calculation improvements; transaction query location issues
  ChainWatch Improvements
  The problem of the same deal being sent to multiple sectors
  Continuous improvement of chain synchronization: How difficult is this? Long-term entanglement
  Improvements in mortgage methods

• Start preparing for IncentiveNet

• Support interactive trading commands

• The economic model mechanism is implemented and the parameters continue to be adjusted

  
  

• Design and Proofing Updates:

• The design documentation is still being improved - this needs to be done faster

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