"Cuttlefish" coordinated protocol update

  • Support for subintents
  • Additional native crypto utils for signature validation within Scrypto
  • Getters for Account balances
  • Throughput improvements

"Bottlenose" coordinated protocol update

  • New AccountLocker native blueprint, as described here.
  • New API for reading component owner role from Scrypto
  • New substates that expose the current protocol-related parameters
  • Add recovery fee vault to AccessController, removing the need for third-party fee locking during the recovery process
  • Various improvements to Account and TransactionProcessor native blueprints

Generic State APIs
Designing and implementing new APIs for reading entity state, aligning with the "system" layer in the engine.

API performance improvements
Improving the DB locking used in the node with the APIs to improve throughput.

Tooling/testing refactor & optimizations (first round)
Cleaning up and optimizing various aspects of the test suites, fuzzer, and benchmarking tools, and streamlining the continuous integration process for faster builds. Housekeeping work to speed up future development.

"Anemone" Coordinated Protocol Update

  • Support for coordinated protocol updates with the Babylon engine
  • Correct the creation cost for validators to 100 USD
  • Proof GC - decreases storage usage for validators
  • Tweaked the Pool native blueprints to improve precision, and improved behavior with non-18 divisibility resources.
  • Add basic BLS support to Scrypto
  • Allow requesting TimePrecision::Second when requesting the current time in Scrypto

Coordinated Protocol Updates
Enables validators to signal readiness for a proposed protocol update, and prevent the network from enacting an update until a certain percentage of stake weight has signaled readiness. This allows for quicker uptake of updates without the risk of leaving too much of the validator set behind.

Runtime Native Pre-compiles
Certain work intensive operations are impractical to execute in WASM due to excessive runtime costs. An expandable native VM supporting packages where important but "worky" operations can be implemented in-engine in Rust, but callable from Scrypto, enables speedy & low-cost execution of these operations.
