:woman_astronaut: Summary

In July and early August, we focused on several key initiatives, making significant progress on Actions by wrapping up the tech design for it and kicking off the implementation. We also advanced our work on Space Contract Changes, preparing the contracts for deployment and collaborating with the Edge & Node team to wrap up this set of changes.

:tada: Looking Back (What Was Delivered)

Actions, Rankings, Aggregation & Pluralism

  • We officially kicked off the implementation phase for actions indexing by onboarding a new team member and completing the initial tech design.
  • We also performed a spike to evaluate various full-text search solutions & potential analytical DBs, identifying options that improve search performance by one to two orders of magnitude. Although we’re starting with PostgreSQL for this iteration to index actions, we plan to use a more analytical database like ClickHouse for the ranking algorithm implementation in the next phase.
  • A simulation environment was built to test the designed ranking algorithm with real data. This analysis revealed valuable insights, showing that the algorithm performs well but that the current data set may not be ideal for fully demonstrating its capabilities, as most entities exist within single, personal spaces.

Space Contract Changes

  • We made substantial progress on space contract changes. After a final review, these changes were merged into the dev branch and are now ready to be deployed to Geo’s testnet.
  • The team also addressed fixes for governance contracts integration tests, improving the overall stability of the repository while working together with the Edge & Node team (big shoutout to @Pablo for his collaboration)

:rocket: Looking Ahead (Upcoming Priorities)

Our primary focus for the next month will be on:

Actions, Rankings, Aggregation & Pluralism

  • We’ll continue the implementation of the actions indexer, completing its first phase in the upcoming week.
  • We’ll begin the design and implementation of the ranking algorithm leveraging the actions and the search features.

Space Contract Changes

  • Next step is to coordinate with the on-chain team to deploy the updated contracts to see those live, to enable the upcoming data migration.
