Agenda Items

Following up from our last call and recent discussions in the full node client teams Slack channel, we'll focus on these key areas:

1. Network Updates (Leonardo Lerer)

The mainnet upgrade to v0.13.3 was scheduled for November 27. We'll discuss the deployment status and early observations. We'll also review progress on v0.13.4 development, particularly focusing on Cairo native integration timeline and the implementation status of stateful compression and L2 gas resource features.

2. P2P Protocol Evolution (Shahak)

Based on recent discussions about libp2p best practices, we'll evaluate the proposed protocol naming convention change and its implications. We'll also review the newly published documentation on P2P network split architecture and discuss implementation progress of the three separate Kademlia networks.

3. Client Teams Progress

• Pathfinder (Krisztian Kovacs): Status of JSON RPC pre-release
• Juno (Kirill Paltsev): WebSocket implementation and RPC methods progress
• Madara (Trantorian): RPC 0.8 integration status
• Common Discussion Point (Charpa): starknet_getBlockWithReceipts implementation discrepancies
• Forward Compatibility (Aneeque Safdar): Database migration approaches

4. Testing Infrastructure (Wojciech Zieba, Mikolaj Barwicki)

Review of the P2P Testing Dashboard progress and discussion of the private testnet launch criteria. We'll focus on establishing clear metrics for successful testing before proceeding to public launch.

5. AOB (Any Other Business)

Please comment on the issue to propose additional agenda items.

Update from Informal Systems team on protocol design of decentralized sequence & implementation of Malachite (Tendermint in Rust) for the sequencer:

1. Accountable consensus discussion ongoing on the forum - open Q: do we want to support Amnesia attacks? more context and input from stakeholders needed
2. Malachite codebase is ready to be made public from engineering POV, the last threads of work left to open it are a couple of refactoring, consolidation & writing of docs and examples
3. Progress of Malachite engineering in the last ~month:
   • node discovery based on Kda implemented & tested
   • added WAL & crash recovery support
   • added block & vote sync mechanism

Next steps for us:

• sync with Shahak about node discovery
• sync with full node teams, in particular Kasar and Equilibrium, to integrate Malachite in their node impl.
• continue the discussion re: Amnesia attacks on the forum
• mid-January make Malachite public and announce it
