Monthly Reports

Over the past month, our team has made significant progress in the development of our proposal to improve price information sourcing and querying. We have successfully added WingRiders, MinswapDex and SundaeSwap as a source for price information entirely done from on-chain data. We also allow users to run own indexer locally without any 3rd party API requirements. We are extremely proud of using our Cardano Postgres indexer (also known as Carp) to support this proposal. Carp works by taking in an "execution plan" that details exactly what subset of Cardano you want to index to your database. We added new tasks that index 3 Cardano DEXs. In our proposal, we promised to add at least 2/3 DEXes and we fulfilled our promise. Therefore, we treat this monthly report as Completed and proceed to prepare the Project Close Report as part of the overall project completion.

The importance of security in the blockchain world cannot be understated. At Milkomeda, we place a high emphasis on ensuring the security of our systems and processes. In recent months, we have seen an increase in attempts by hackers to target blockchain interoperability systems, specifically blockchain bridges.

In response to this trend, we made the decision to conduct a thorough security audit of the Bridge contracts before moving forward with our plans. This decision was made in order to ensure the safety and integrity of our systems and to protect our users from potential security breaches.

We are pleased to report that we have recently completed a formal verification of the Solidity smart contracts on the Milkomeda side of the bridge. This extensive security review has allowed us to identify and address any potential vulnerabilities, ensuring that our systems are secure and ready for use.

With the security audit now complete, we are excited to move forward with our plans and continue working on this grant early next year.

During the Formal Verification Audit, we conduct weekly meetings and troubleshoot issues (such as TokenRegistry) with the auditors. We are also working on a new blog on what the Formal Verification Audit is and why it matters. We hope to publish it in the coming weeks.

For this proposal, we've made great progress. We've added WingRiders support as a source for price information, and added an endpoint to query historical prices as well as one for getting the current price. Currently, all the technical implementation is almost done. We are addressing the last PRs regarding existing functionality. In the coming weeks, we will focus to add 1~2 more DEXs.

After completing the translations into Japanese, we have teamed up with translators of Chinese and Korean. The translators have familiarized themselves with the documentation and are currently using crowdin to prepare translation suggestions for the entire Milkomeda docs (for-developers and for end-users). We are currently making more progress with the Chinese language, but in the next 30 days we should complete the entire project and publish an additional 2 languages in our documentation.

At this point, we work internally on the details of the entire 2-week program process, examine dedicated platforms and delegate tasks between teams. We put great emphasis on defining the framework of projects built DAOs in the Milkomeda DAO Hackathon.

Smart contract upgradability is a key piece of functionality that all serious DeFi dApps require. The EUTXO model poses novel problems for contract upgradability which do not exist in the account-based model. These issues have as of yet been unaddressed in the Plutus ecosystem, and as such new smart contract developers are currently left with no solution available to them. With something as risky as upgrading contracts, using well known design patterns is vital to ensure that developers do not make any obvious mistakes that will end up becoming major security holes. The project is almost ready. We are starting preparations for the Project Close Report. Github Repo https://github.com/dcSpark/plutus-smart-contract-upgrade-dApp

Over 60 projects were submitted to the program. We are very pleased with such a great response and dozens of really interesting projects. In the last month, we successfully carried out the second phase of the program, selecting the top 10. Currently, together with our partners from dlab, we make strategic decisions regarding the selection of winners. In the meantime, we prepare the agenda of the entire program, finalize the perks for the winners, administrative and legal details. The project is implemented in accordance with the initial assumptions and we will soon begin the official start of the second stage of the program, i.e. the 6-week program.
