Certification of Cardano stake distribution​

Update 2024/10/21

We have released stable support for the Cardano stake distribution certification with distributions 2437 and 2442.

A threshold of at least 70% of the stake running version 0.2.182 (within 10 days after the distribution 2442 is released) is mandatory to activate the certification of the Cardano stake distribution on the release-mainnet network.

The Mithril Protocol Insights dashboard displays the adoption rate of the different signer versions on the release-mainnet network.

With the release of the new distribution 2437, we have started to roll out the certification of the Cardano stake distribution in the Mithril networks.

The Mithril network now provides certified Cardano stake distribution data without requiring a full Cardano node, a useful feature for applications such as bridges and layer 2 solutions. The key features include:

  • Certification of the Cardano stake distribution of the ending epoch at each epoch transition
  • New HTTP routes in the aggregator REST API to access this certified data
  • Updates to the Mithril client library and CLI for retrieving and verifying Cardano stake distribution
  • WASM client support for these functionalities
  • Mithril Explorer now displays certified Cardano stake distribution.

The roll-out plan of the feature is the following:

  • Distribution 2437:
    • Activation of the certification of Cardano stake distribution in the pre-release-preview network
    • Activation of the certification of Cardano stake distribution in the release-preprod network
  • Distribution 2442:
    • Activation of the certification of Cardano stake distribution in the release-mainnet network.
