## What Was Discussed in NY About Next Year

- Discussed with Rusty the development of CLN, including:
    - Open CLN patches
    - Implementation of channel jamming in core Lightning
    - New version of the lnprototest design
- Discussion About Channel Jamming:
    - Implementing a basic version in CLN
    - Using lnmetrics to collect and share metrics about CLN nodes
    - working with chain code to define the data format
- Discussion About Trampoline:
    - Discussing with Rusty if it is a good target to include inside CLN
    - Discussing with tbast the specification proposal
- Talk with Lalu about reseaching on BIP 157/158

## Missing Components for My Previous Grant

- Analysis of the work on CLN (how much I contribute to the repository): In progress
- lnmetrics release: [View here](https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/lightning-dev/2023-July/004011.html) - Done
- Release of various tools, such as:
    - Coffee: In progress, working with a SoB mentee;
    - cln4rust: In progress
    - Code generator for the Lightning Network message: Work in progress
    - Inclusion of ldk inside lnprototest: Done, waiting for SoB guy to open the Patch

# Problem for the Next Grant

Due to the slowness of the protocol development, I would like to ask about the possibility of an extentible agreement for a longer period than one year. This extension would allow me to focus more time on the protocol development without worrying too much about the grant renewal.
