To provide specific details:</p><ul><li>Updated all CLI commands to accommodate the new directory structure.</li><li>Worked on enabling dynamic validator sizes, which is nearing completion. This allows for the adjustment of the number of active validators through milestones.</li><li>The default database configuration has been set to Postgres version 16.</li><li>Addressed missing test coverage for API controllers.</li><li>Unique constraints have been given explicit names to enhance error readability.</li><li>Improvements have been made to API synchronization, including the identification and resolution of issues preventing validator rounds from being recorded. This has made resynchronization more robust, reducing the need for frequent database drops.</li></ul><p>In the upcoming week, the focus will remain on testing the API implementation and its performance, alongside finalizing and testing dynamic validator size adjustments.</p><h2 id="header-3">Feedback &amp; Feature Requests</h2><p>If you are using our open-source products and would like to provide feedback or request a feature, please feel free to contact us via the contact pages for the specific product you are using or open an issue on GitHub.</p><p>Quick access links to GitHub issues pages:</p><ul><li><a href="https://github.com/ArkEcosystem/mainsail/issues" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Mainsail </a></li><li><a href="https://github.com/ArdentHQ/arkscan/issues" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ARK Scan </a></li><li><a href="https://github.com/ArdentHQ/arkvault/issues" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ARK Vault </a></li></ul><h2 id="header-4">Follow on Twitter (X)</h2><p>Follow us on <a href="https://x.com/ArkEcosystem" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">X </a> (Formerly Twitter) and keep checking the blog to stay up-to-date on all of our new releases.
