AMB-NET Update: Masternode Progress, Bridge Refinement, and Much More!

While the evolution of the Ambrosus Ecosystem has been steadily progressing, Ambrosus developer teams remain steadfast in their constant improvement and refinement to the Ambrosus Network. Here is a look at the most recent progress on Maternodes, Deterministic Moving Pointers, sidechain deployment, and much more!

Masternodes Update

A number of improvements have been made to the different masternodes, as well as the mechanism by which Atlas Masternodes receive rewards. First, scripts for memory usage optimization have been re-written for Apollo collectors. Simultaneously, high CPU usage for Apollo nodes have been fixed. With regards to Hermes Masternodes, the disk on different Hermes instances run by Ambrosus has been cleaned up, while a MongoDB exporter has been added. Atlas Masternodes meanwhile, have been thoroughly tested, and problems relating to Atlas ‘Freezing’ have been fixed. In relation to the DMP algorithm, newly implemented enhancements to Atlas bundle storage capabilities now provide that Atlases will not attempt to participate in challenges on bundles they already shelter. Moreover, bundle tracking has also been optimized, effectively disposing unused and expired bundles. For both Atlas and Hermes Masternodes, exploratory testing continues.

Most importantly, promising results have been obtained from a Deterministic Moving Pointer test simulation using various configurations. From within the test environment this indicates that a reliable and equal distribution of rewards can be ensured via the DMP smart contract.

Awesome news for all the ones who have read so deep into the update: We have currently agreed on a new technical milestone with our technical team concerning masternodes. It will be great news for all those eager to know when the next waves are coming and how big they will be. Keep an eye out for social media updates within the next 24–48 hours and buckle your seats!
