Taraxa Weekly Update: Week 17

We move closer to the next network release with more work done on Aphrogenes’s consensus and Taraxa’s concurrent virtual machine and RPC interfaces.

PBFT Consensus and Execution Schedule.

Efficient proposals enable Taraxa’s PoS to produce fair and non-coordinated block proposals, which is essential for the network’s security. Accomplished this week:

• Merged PBFT state machine implementation into the master branch.
• Implemented updating PBFT instance sortition accounts table replace in the executor.
• Work-in-progress: refactoring the executor.

EVM and RPC interfaces.

Taraxa’s concurrent virtual machine is unique in terms of being able to run smart contracts in parallel in order to increase the network’s throughput. This past week we continued on the C++ side of the EVM integration.
