Ouroboros Peras

Weekly Report: 2026-03-13

  • Resumed efforts on the initial ObjectDiffusion mini protocol implementation on ouroboros-network after another round of reviews, this time focused mainly on property tests and adhering to the repository’s coding style.

  • Discussed the different possible approaches we could take to implement parameterization of the different Peras-specific constants. For now, we settled on off-chain parameterization via configuration files.

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

  • Opened Peras 18 with a generic implementation of the weighted Fait-Accompli with Local Sortition (wFA^LS) committee selection scheme.

  • Added a test suite (as part of Peras 16) to check for conformance against the Rust implementation of the wFA committee selection scheme using a real stake distribution taken from mainnet.

  • Merged Peras 16 and Peras 17.
