Technical Updates 🤖

Machine-Learning(ML), CortexVirtual Machine(CVM)

1. Complete the function of coco, voc, cifar10 dataset loading;

2. circom generator RightShift and MulScalar parameter alignment. Type annotations, Symbol type confusion fixes;

3. Generate graph optimization, lose invalid nodes after topological sorting. scalar is integrated into op as an attribute, the original parameter is still output to input.json, fix circom compilation repair;

4. Increase NLP model training, long sequence numerical prediction, convert fixed-point model and debug problems;

ZkRollup

1. Complete the reconstruction of zkx-contract into diamonds-proxy architecture, and update the deployment script and tool script;

2. Adjust L1 node and postgre docker startup (convenient for script startup and shutdown);

3. Golang implements the zkx-cli infrastructure tool: it is used for more convenient startup of development;

4. Update the contract and config crates to adapt to the new contract;

5. Fix the problem of sending too many tx requests and Nonce mismatch;

6. Overall reconstruction of zkx-contract from the original architecture (common proxy + contract split (including addtional)) to EIP-2535;

7. Investigate the new zksync-era system PLONK + FRI: boojum;

Cortex Full Node

1. crypto/secp256k1: define NDEBUG only if not defined #1600

2. update leveldb metrics collection and track state changes in state db

3. database put in sync mode

4. common/lru: add test case for BasicLRU.Peek

5. core: log message if DeriveFields returns error

6. send big tx by announce only

7. make signature of ContractCode hash-independent

8. add cortex robot

Community Updates👨‍👩‍👦‍👦

1. R&D the current progress of ZKML;

2. R&D the technical progress of the current MPC wallet;

3. Collaboration with several NFT Artists

4. Continue to monitor popular market ventures and examine project logic and Web3, NFT & Defi Tokenomic models

About Cortex 😇

Cortex’s main mission is to provide state-of-the-art machine-learning models on the blockchain in which users can infer using smart contracts on the Cortex blockchain. One of Cortex’s goals also includes implementing a machine-learning platform that allows users to post tasks on the platform, and submit AI DApps (Artificial Intelligence Decentralized Applications).

Cortex is the only public blockchain that allows the execution of nontrivial AI algorithms on the blockchain. MainNet has launched. Go build!
