During January 2026, Swvheerden migrated remote node interfaces from gRPC to HTTP within the tari-project/universe repository, focusing on backend development using Rust and TypeScript. This architectural shift enabled caching and set the stage for improved performance and scalability in remote node interactions. Swvheerden introduced a Consensus Manager to coordinate network state across nodes and updated multiple adapters to align with the new HTTP-based architecture. The work included removing unused code, which streamlined the codebase and improved maintainability. The depth of this feature reflects a thoughtful approach to system design, emphasizing long-term scalability and efficient network coordination.
