Certification of Cardano node database v2​
With the release of the new distribution 2513, we have started to roll out the certification of the Cardano node database v2 in the Mithril networks.
Initially, Mithril certified entire database snapshots, requiring clients to download and verify the full database to bootstrap a Cardano node. The Mithril network now provides incremental certification of the Cardano node database, allowing clients to download only the specific range of immutable files needed, accelerating the process of bootstrapping a Cardano node. The key features include:
- Certification of the Cardano node database v2 every time a new immutable file is produced
- 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 node database v2 (will be made stable one distribution after the activation in
release-mainet) - Mithril Explorer now displays certified Cardano node database v2.
The roll-out plan of the feature is the following:
- Distribution 2513:
- Activation of the certification of Cardano node database v2 in the
pre-release-previewnetwork - Activation of the certification of Cardano node database v2 in the
release-preprodnetwork
- Activation of the certification of Cardano node database v2 in the
- Next distribution:
- Activation of the certification of Cardano node database v2 in the
release-mainnetnetwork.
- Activation of the certification of Cardano node database v2 in the
