Notably, we have also updated the username validation rules to align with Mainsail’s specifications.</p><p>Moving forward, our agenda for next week includes further advancement in multisignature integration and addressing any reported issues that arise.</p><h2 id="header-4">Mainsail Weekly Progress</h2><p>This week, Mainsail rolled out a new testnet release, version v0.0.1-alpha.17, with several fixes and improvements:</p><ul><li>Support for validator secret encryption (BIP38)</li><li>Improved performance by deserializing proposals in multiple steps</li><li>Consensus performance improvements</li><li>Correct dispatch of block events</li><li>Restoration of webhooks on boot with added support for nested keys</li></ul><p>If you’re interested in getting involved, you can check out our introductory blog post on the <a href="https://arkscic.com/blog/introducting-mainsails-early-testnet" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Testnet release</a>.</p><p>We’ve also updated the <a href="https://explorer-demo.mainsailhq.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Mainsail Explorer </a> to align with our recent <a href="https://github.com/ArdentHQ/arkscan/releases/tag/2.26.1" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">production release </a>.</p><p>In addition to the testnet release mentioned above, we’ve made progress on:</p><ul><li>Improving the stability of functional tests</li><li>Fixing api-sync update version and crypto configuration data during boot</li><li>Adding the syncInterval option instead of using block time to periodically sync non-block-related data to PG</li><li>Introducing the blockPrepareTime milestone option, which adds extra time for block preparation during long consensus cycles</li><li>Splitting EVM transactions processing into the process and commit steps</li></ul><p>Next week, we’ll be monitoring for any reported issues that may arise, as well as extracting the transaction pool into a separate process.
