Tezos does our heart good. Teams have been working extremely hard over the period of the last two weeks. The most exciting process at the moment is the second voting period, that is frequently discussed in social networks and chats. Besides, a fortune of development work was made (for instance an update as a techelson testrunner for liquidity programs), as well as an explanation for this work: tutorials and guides regarding the smart contract language for Tezos — fi, an explanation how an operation in Tezos actually works etc. Moreover, they provided us with a weekly recap, tracking the progress. Least Authority published a report of Tezos audits and now we are able to see the solidity of their functioning. As for thee social encounters, Tezos was deeply involved in meetups and no one’s planning to slow down on this. In April you will be able to see Tezos in Vienna, Boston, Paris and more! Tezos Website is now viewable in 13 of the most popular languages around the world. The community keeps growing constantly and there is also a significant increase in the number of followers on the web. It is a big time for Tezos!

- Second step of the voting via link. At the end of this testing vote period in about three weeks, the current proposal will be promoted to testing if the participation rate (total of Yay, Nay, and Pass as a percentage of total rolls) is greater than 80% and a supermajority of 80% yay is met. pass votes also count towards the participation rate, but not in determining the supermajority, which is based on the ratio of ‘yay’ to ‘nay’ votes. If these conditions are not met, then the amendment process will be revert to the first period. In-depth details may be found in the Tezos documentation.

- A Tezos node/shell in rustlang . Try out the demo.
- p2p/client: This is the p2p component responsible for receiving and sending messages within Tezos network. Internally, p2p allocates a component, called a p2p-peer, for each node within the reachable network. The p2p-peer listens to incoming messages from peers and routes requests to individual peers. The p2p/client uses separate components for serialization/deserialization of messages between Tezos message format and Rust structures.
- data_encoding/de: All incoming messages are transformed into standard Rust structures for easy manipulation using de component. This component implements serialization and deserialization of all data types used in Tezos messages.
- crypto/box: Component contains cryptographic algorithms for encryption and decryption of messages
- storage/db: In the current phase (PoC), this is a very simplistic in memory DB for storing information about the current state of the blockchain. We will replace the component with a key-value database.
- They use a rpc/server: the component used for the implementation of node-rs REST API. Using the nodes REST api, the user is able to get insights about the current state of the node as well as execute commands on the node
The relations between individual components are described in the diagram depicted below.
