Over four months, Greenee contributed to the galacticcouncil/hydration-node repository by modernizing state preparation workflows, enhancing cross-chain messaging, and improving runtime stability. Greenee replaced shell-based JSON manipulation with Node.js and the Polkadot API, increasing script maintainability and reliability. In Rust and Substrate, Greenee developed a Kusama XCM locations converter and upgraded the HydraDX runtime, aligning dependencies and refining test infrastructure. The work included standardizing Zombienet initialization, updating adapters, and simplifying XCM handling, which reduced maintenance friction and improved test environments. Greenee’s engineering demonstrated depth in blockchain development, runtime engineering, and disciplined dependency management across Rust, Node.js, and XCM.

March 2025: Delivered two key features in galacticcouncil/hydration-node focused on runtime readiness and cross-chain messaging. The Hydration Node runtime was upgraded to HydraDX Runtime 296.0.0 with spec_version 296, reflecting dependency updates and internal refactoring. XCM execution capabilities were expanded by removing existing restrictions (XcmExecuteFilter set to Everything), enabling all XCM messages to be processed. These changes are traceable to specific commits for auditability.

In January 2025, the hydration-node team delivered a Kusama XCM locations converter in the hydradx-runtime and conducted maintenance to improve release quality and test reliability. The converter enables correct mapping of Kusama-specific locations to account IDs and includes tests validating Kusama root account conversion. Runtime maintenance included version bumps, spec_version alignment, corrected test expectations, and broader code formatting improvements. Business value: enhanced cross-chain interoperability, reduced risk in releases, and higher maintainability. Technologies: Rust, Substrate, XCM, test infrastructure, and code formatting practices.

Month: 2024-11 — galacticcouncil/hydration-node delivered a significant modernization of the ZombieNet state preparation workflow and oracle initialization. Replaced shell-based JSON manipulation with a Node.js-driven approach (fs module and @polkadot/api) to improve readability, robustness, and maintainability. Added logic to reset the EmaOracleEntry updatedAt timestamp to 0 to initialize oracle data for zombienet. This reduces setup fragility and ensures clean oracle state on startup.
