44 Commits • 23 Features
Feb 1, 2026February 2026 (2026-02) — Dusk Network / Rusk: Delivered substantial architectural and reliability improvements across the Rusk stack. Modularized explorer and web-wallet to enable independent deployments, removed web-wallet dependency from the rusk target, and updated READMEs with versions/links for clearer ownership and maintainability. Updated the binary toolchain and container tooling (Node.js 24.x; Docker file simplifications) to streamline build and runtime environments. Introduced activation-gated host queries (SHA256, KZG, secp256k1) in core/VM and prepared PLONK V3 readiness behind the Aegis hard fork. Refined error handling by replacing generic errors with typed HttpError, and extracted execute_tx_command helper in rusk-wallet to improve maintainability and testability. Enhanced CI/CD pipelines with caching, concurrency control, and cross-repo workflow improvements; prepared a 1.6.0 baseline across the Dusk/Rusk ecosystem, including release bundles across dusk-core, dusk-node, rusk, wallet, and related crates, plus wallet-core wasm embedding. These efforts reduce build times, improve fault visibility, and accelerate secure feature delivery to production.
