Insolar has had a busy start to the year with the successful launch of Testnet 1.0 and Testnet 1.1. The first version of the Testnet was created to test our hypothesis of a blockchain network with a throughput of over 10,000 tx/s. So far, the network has been able to reach a performance in excess of 19,000 tx/s! In the current version of the Testnet, external participants are invited to join and deploy their own network node.

Network

Rules for network majority and minimum network roles have been implemented. These rules provide additional stability and maintainability for the Insolar network.

Additional checks for joining nodes. An application version check for nodes that try to join network has been added, in addition to a limit on the amount of nodes that can join the network during a single pulse.

Network team roadmap for TestNet 2.0 has been created, including plans for several key features: a new bootstrap mechanism, network mandates, a new parallel consensus, and support for various node hardware configurations to provide better load distribution.

AppLogic

Auxiliary scripts for registering nodes and obtaining certificates have been added.

Work on the component conveyor has continued, with improvement in the slot element structure and the generation of raw handlers.

Ledger

Stability fixes have led to improvements in system stability.

In-memory storage processing has been altered so that light material nodes now store data in RAM instead of in the hard drive, which greatly improves their performance.

Internal refactoring has been conducted for improved systems support.

Business Services

PublicNet smart contracts. Smart contracts for accounts, members and wallets have been released.

PublicNet oracle for ETH20 to INSOLAR token migration. The first approach for an oracle machine to read INS ETH20 token burning and migrate it to INSOLAR has been created. The problem of a possible Ethereum chain rollback has been solved. A smart contract has been written which will store burned ETH20 coins until the respective native INSOLAR wallets have been created.

New Block Explorer release. The database size has been optimized, the loader speed has been increased, and information about the INSOLAR network load has been added.
