Based on my research, let me clarify the exact timing:

Payload Building vs Retrieval Timing

Yes, the payload is built ahead of time, but the proposer doesn't necessarily retrieve it exactly at t+0 of their slot.

The Flow:

  1. Payload building starts during slot N-1: When the block for slot N-1 is processed, an FCU with payload attributes is sent to the execution engine to start building the payload for slot N.

IPC: Senior Protocol Engineer

Key responsibilities

  • Design and develop the next generation of scalable blockchain platforms, consisting of dynamic subnets, multi-level trees (L3+), with versatile Wasm-based execution runtimes, and content-addressed data access.
  • Harden IPC’s security by designing and implementing mechanisms like fraud proofs, escape hatches, disaster recovery, and various attack defenses.
  • Build the foundation of Filecoin scalability, unlocking new suite of data-oriented services (compute, AI training, inference, hot storage, aggregation, data pipelines, CDNs, and more)
  • Maintain and evolve the Solidity smart contracts that orchestrate IPC interactions (e.g. checkpointing, messaging, subnet lifecycle, etc.)
  • Create production-grade software that is reliable, resilient, efficient, upgradeable, and observable.
  • Strengthen IPC’s guarantees by implementing and deploying zero-knowledge proofs (ZK) and verifiable computation (VC) systems.

CARv2 + DAG store implementation notes

Overview

The purpose of the CARv2 + DAG store endeavour is to eliminate overhead from the deal-making processes with the mission of unlocking scalability, performance, and resource frugality on both miner and client side within the Filecoin network.

The definition of done is the removal of the Badger blockstore from all client and miner codepaths involved in storage and retrieval deals, and the transition

Robust Message Management: Technical work plan

Authors: @kubuxu, @raulk.

Glossary

  • BaseFee - current going fee (unit FIL per gas) unit determined by the network required for a message to be included.
  • FeeCap - field in a message, determines maximum BaseFee to be paid (unit FIL per gas)
  • MaxFee - maximum amount user is willing to pay for the message in total (unit FIL)
  • MaxFee = FeeCap * GasLimit

libp2p issue migration script

See this PR and conversation for context: libp2p/libp2p#86.

Goal

To create a script to migrate issues from go-libp2p inner repos to the top-level repo, applying labels along the way.
