Apr 1, 2026Month: 2026-04 — In April 2026, we delivered targeted features and stability work that enhance reliability, data integrity, and performance, while expanding test coverage and network resilience. Business value is reinforced through more predictable gas subsidy behavior, safer genesis data handling, steadier P2P interactions, clearer ETH config visibility, and faster, more stable epoch transitions. Key achievements: - Gas Subsidies and Gas Price Configuration Reliability: implemented applying rules after epoch advancement, expanded test coverage for subsidy calculations, and introduced independent gas price config instances with uniqueness tests. Commits include 52a313f43142a112fb470f90c8e24dc2dedfbb52; 38d5318275cf699260a818804cc5485bcd1a3506; e7be321d3ce7b04f6e7e409cd4a1748f15c45361. - Genesis Bundles Processing and Export/Import: added genesis bundle store utilities, export/import for bundles and history hash, adjusted processing timeout and history hash behavior, with accompanying tests.
