A new challenge will be available today throughout the day. One request: don't make a big deal out of it, there will be many more. There will even be a separate portal with a set of bounty tasks. We are also awaiting the final update for the lite node, circles, and webcli.
The last 10 days have been intense due to the extensive work on security and audits, all of which was diluted by the noise of some strange individuals. We are not offended or upset by them, as a social bounty is still a bounty, even if it consists of a stream of madness.
In turn, we welcome everyone who comes for the common good, science, cryptography, and security in general. Any valid points and comments are always considered, this practice will always be present here.
All the best to everyone, stay tuned for the next update regarding the new bounty.
We just completed risk assessments for every stablecoin currently live on Stabilizer.
Transparent risk analysis is a core part of the protocol.

solana:9cRCn9rGT8V2imeM2BaKs13yhMEais3ruM3rPvTGpump @blknoiz06 im not sure if you’re aware, but @octra has released its nodes. it’s worth considering moving the airdrop towards the infra behind them
dear community, the lite node will now be publicly available directly on GitHub (the internal version will match the public one exactly), we have also decided to merge the new VM policies along with these commits, a big webcli update is coming now

thank you for your support
the updated lite node has been transferred to the octra labs github: https://t.co/ToFHNQUsLG
important to note that it is not a conventional "light node" that only downloads headers, but rather a full validator node reserved for smaller devices and tasks that don't involve heavy compute: old laptops, mobile phones and raspberry pi.
with the open sourcing of the lite node, the web client and the pvac-hfhe proof of concept, most of the stages of preparation for mainnet beta are complete. external validators will be able to connect to the network after the upgrade.
work remains on web client security, the release of a formal hfhe paper, the mainnet network whitepaper, regular and bootstrap nodes, dev tooling & app layer. a roadmap update will be published separately.

in the PoC version of PVAC-HFHE, the recrypt function contained a blank for the next bounty, which was already revealed to us (even though we didn't ask for it), so we decided to make a new one, and this and a few other small things will simply be patched, and for the bounty, we will prepare a new interesting challenge*, which will be published a little later, with a new release of webcli** (with an update to the proof system) and pvac (secure recrypt)
* bounties are becoming more interesting and richer, and include not only cryptography, but also testing hypotheses on hostile behavior within the ledger, VM, circle outline, etc
** it may seem like there are a number of problems right now, but that's not the case, bc the network has already been updated, but the public repo hasn't caught up yet, this will be completed today
webcli update, lite node boot loader, and a full .aml compiler are on the way
the network is catching up too (several security updates), but we don't expect any further interruptions, so, updates no longer affect network availability
* on an interesting note, a bug bounty portal is also being prepared for launch
many thanks everyone
Every meet. Every check-in. Every peer connection.
It all adds up to something real.

We want to see where the community stands, because what's coming next is built around exactly this number.👇
an early version of the lite node core (_build_0x1067dzc2) is available via the internal gitlab, this version excludes the boot-loader (which will be available separately)
a lite node fully compatible with main net and additional components will be available on GitHub for building and deployment (consider this release a nightly build for evaluation purposes)
