Summary for 2025-04: Delivered the Zentp Bridge Fee System in zenrocklabs/zrchain, enabling robust fee capture for Solana Zentp burn/mint operations. Centralized fee logic within the Zentp keeper, added a bridge_fee parameter to Params, and implemented a precise fee_split flow so the bridge fee and the remainder are correctly allocated to protocol/user wallets. Genesis defaults and validation were added to ensure proper initialization and robustness. Fee handling during ROCK mint events was fixed with improved logging and correctness, enhancing traceability. Overall impact includes improved revenue accounting, reduced risk in bridge operations, and more maintainable fee economics. Technologies/skills demonstrated include keeper pattern, genesis/config management, parameter handling, and detailed logging."

December 2024Delivered the ZenBTC Wallet Query API (gRPC/proto) with enhanced wallet filtering (mint_chain_id) and recipient/chain-type/chain-id/return address queries, plus pagination and expanded test coverage. Fixed missing ZenBTC metadata in key-related responses and advanced the Key ID signing upgrade path with v5beta3 migrations. Documented mint module deflationary mechanism (zero inflation, staking rewards funded by fees) for clarity and governance. Achieved forward-compatible changes across signing workflows and improved maintainability through naming improvements and tests.

November 2024 highlights for zenrocklabs/zrchain focused on strengthening the Mint Module, upgrading deployment readiness, and improving reliability and code quality. Key features delivered include Mint Module Enhancements with treasurykeeper integration, new mint parameters, and block-based yield distribution, plus added mint distribution logic and init improvements. Upgrade/Init workflow was enhanced with additional upgrade files, a fixed missing upgrade call, a refactored top-up flow, and a more robust init script. Observability and QA were boosted through expanded logging, a zenbtc local replace hook, and new testing utilities (keepertest) alongside targeted test/migration fixes. Maintenance work covered proto/import cleanup and documentation updates, with ongoing consolidation reflected by removing treasury keeper. These efforts collectively improve governance, predictability of yields, deployment safety, and faster release cycles.
