Horizen Behind the Scenes - Milan, Italy Ep 02

Music Hi. This is Luca Cermelli again, from Milan. I am here today for another episode of our vlog series. Hey Luca. First we have Albene. Hi. Ciao. How is it going? What are you working on? Alright. I’m modifying the mainchain. Basically, to make sure that the sidechain transaction that we receive from our sidechains process with the same efficiency as any other mainchain transaction. So, yeah just the usual work of code modification and unit testing. So, from my understanding, this is our mission-critical project. It is. Yes. Okay thank you. Here we have Alberto Sala. Hi. Hi.

01:14 - Today what are you working on? Yes I am working on… I am testing my implementation by means of Python test. So, I am working on the sidechain transfer protocol and I am testing my implementation. Okay, very good. Thank you. Paolo. I believe he is working on the Sphere. Yes. I am preparing the new build to be tested to include some improvements of the batch withdraw feature mainly and those are some performance improvements. Yeah, I know there is a new release of Sphere coming soon. Yes. Will you pack all of these improvements.

01:57 - All these improvements are going to release in the near future. In the near future. Cool. Very nice. Hopefully our community will test it and give us feedback. And here we have Marco. Hi Luca. Who I guess is working on the new block explorer. Yes I am working on the new block explorer and like you can see here we have Horizen transaction inside the database. Okay. So we are able now to synchronize the new explorer with our zend. Okay. Cool. Thank you. Who do we have over here. I find. Alberto and Daniele. Ciao Luca. Ciao Luca.

02:49 - Can I ask you also what you are working on? Yeah. You are becoming a video maker. laughter. We saw you just a couple of days making another video. It’s okay. Yeah, I know our community enjoys. Hopefully. Laughter. But let’s see what you have here. We are doing actually a bit of code review here. Of what exactly? We are reviewing our MNT curves for our proof cycle And then because we have implemented Poseidon we are already implementing the other primitives we need. Like Schnorr, inaudible* function, Merkle trees. We are doing a global check of what I have done Okay. Yeah this is quite an important part.

03:32 - A special introduction of the proper curves is crucial for the extended model and now We are superseding with the primitives and the function that would be used in order to create the proper proofs for the extended model proofs for the extended model. Okay thank you for giving us such insights. Thank you. Maurizio. Ciao Luca. Ciao. What is it that you’re doing. It talks about the requirement for the elliptic curves that we are looking for. We have a team that is looking for one or more specific elliptic curves that need to have some requirements and one of them is they need to support efficient inaudible form and I am writing the requirements in more or less mathematical terms. So that they can be taken into account. Sounds like a big challenge. For them. Yes! Not so much for me. laughter. Thanks Luca Ciao Maurizio This was our second episode of this vlog series.

04:34 - We hope you enjoyed and see you next time. .
