Ouroboros Peras

Weekly Report: 2026-02-27

  • Delivered the February public demo. You can find more information here.

  • Started working on a vote minting thread to orchestrate all the tasks that need to be performed at the beginning of a Peras round.

  • Started working on the concrete implementation of the weighted Fait Accompli with Local Sortition (wFA^LS) committee selection scheme. The real setup requires us to cache parts of the algorithm throughout an entire epoch, as well as computing the elegibility proof of non-persistent voters via verifiable random functions (VRFs).

  • Made several iterations on the design of the BlockSupportsPeras instance for the Hard Fork Combinator. Notably, we are now forecasting the ledger view corresponding to the slot of a given Peras round number when validating votes.

  • Merged Peras 3.5 and Peras 14.

  • Prepared Peras 15, Peras 16, and Peras 17 for another round of reviews.
