Summary
Ogmios and Kupo have two paths forward (both providing sufficient support to the community to progress with van Rossem hard fork readiness
Tools author is expected to review, adjust and make van Rossem compatible versions based on the original codebase in the week of 22nd June
It was pointed out that for the time being, forked, van Rossem compatible repos, are going to continue to be considered as viable with IO backed maintenance
Issue being reported by Indigo labs, CPU overspend issue on preprod, was close with user confirmed they were using an older lucid with hard coded values which is unrelated to the node
Readiness tracker has been updated:
Mainnet submission readiness checklist in the summary tab is having its readiness numbers that are based on items considered to be on the critical path
Exchanges readiness is represented as sum of liquidity stakes from each exchange that is considered ready
Few light wallets and few tools have become ready
Dapps continued and focused on adjustments and testing aginst Preview ahead of the PreProd fork where they will continue their testing efforts
PreProd hard fork initiation governance action was enacted on 10th June
Go/No-go Mainnet hard fork initiation governance action submission call date - 15th June
Readiness tracker mainnet submission checklist will be adjusted if needed, to be compliant with the hard fork submission policy
Guardrails
Technical Steering Committee considers no guardrail scripts changes have been made nor there were any constitutional changes in relation to van Rossem hard fork
Civics Committee reaffirms that they didnt find any issues in the "Consistency with Guardrails" section
Governance action metadata
Proposed mainnet hard fork initiation governance action metadata is 99% the same as the metadata used on Preview+PreProd with updates since PreProd have been
Citing updated performance report for node 11.0.1 (now available to be linked)
Citing the related correct protocol parameter change (was different per network)
Citing monday 15th June (go-no-go) as day when TSC and HFWG have formally recommended submission
Pending changes
inclusion of security audit reports for newer ledger rules, plutus implementation
fix to plutus data structure labelling
Security audit(s)
Any recent security security audits completed for the code going into this hard fork will be considered for inclusion in the van Rossem hard fork initiation governance action metadata
In the wake of any critical issue being potentially discovered on PreProd after the hard fork governance action has been submitted on mainnet, Technical Steering Committe will recommend Constitutional Committee to withhold their votes until the issues has been resolved
Plutus Cost Model parameter update governance action has been submitted on mainnet on 26th of May and its at ~55% approval with the reasonable expectation that it will end up being ratified and subsequently enacted in the next ~3 weeks
Comms team meetings are happening weekly and async communication continuously. The team that includes representatives from five big Cardano entities, is having a strong grip on a timely, precise, transparent and consistent messaging being made public
Risk log has been slightly adjusted and some risks had their likelihood reduced
Ogmios/Kupo maintenance and technical support has been added as a new risk considering the current path forward
Tech support team is expected to produce draft of the tech support process and resource tracker and to update the hard fork working group on the status of them
