## Mission #2 Update

hey everyone 👋

I wanted to give some updates on Fleek Network, i guess its trend to share things end of the year 🙃

Firstly, we are merging in a k8s setup this week to deploy our devnet, which will include 20-50 nodes. This devnet will not include the consensus we are aiming for testnet, which we are hoping to have 100-500 nodes with community participation.


In addition, over the last month we grew from 2-7 people and we have been working on several new features to improve the performance and reliability of Fleek Network. These include:

- Networking: We revamped the entire networking stack to be more composable and provide easier integration with other components. We also added hole punching, which allows peers to connect through firewalls, and implemented a more stable library choice and quic transport.
- Testing: created a POC of testground that should help us with integration tests and mass scale tests up to 100k nodes.
- Index Providing: Cache nodes now announce their cached content to global indexers for fast content look-ups in milliseconds. Gateway nodes can request these global indexers to know where content is stored without needing extra hops.
- Gateway: We are creating a global gateway to act as a relay for cache nodes and handle HTTP content resolution.
- Global and Node metrics: We have deployed a global metric dashboard to track all of our nodes and provide transparency on the "power" of the network. We have also created a tracker to track all nodes, which will eventually be replaced by storing them on the blockchain.


- Caching algorithms: We are working on integrating bloom filters to help speed up p2p content routing and designing consistent hashing algorithms for our replication strategies to ensure content availability.
- Economics: We are continuing to improve upon our initial draft of the econ paper, introducing the concept of exploration phases to optimize network sustainability and growth over time. We have also introduced a sustainability factor controlled by the DAO for rewards and other community growth features and an initial inflationary model for the token. We are still in WIP mode on this...

- Consensus: We have built a shim example to showcase the interaction between our nodes, narwhal and bullshark (N/B). We are defining our transactions and algorithms, including proof of delivery and proof of bandwidth. We also support ed25519 and BLS12-381, and blocks will be generated on each cache node.
- Governance
- Node registry contract
- Staking contract
- FLK token contract
- Started BLS contract to verify sigs N/B
- Experimenting with zk-snarks to verify claims by nodes
- Efforts have started to start building the Fleek Net → L2 interaction according to this design

Thanks to everyone on the team and everyone else for their support and participation in Fleek Network. Also, the community is growing strong, which is incredible. Let's keep that going.
