January 2026 performance summary for tempoxyz/tempo (Month: 2026-01). Key features delivered, major bugs fixed, and overall impact across Tempo node onboarding, metrics accuracy, and governance readiness. Key features delivered: - Tempo Node Setup Documentation and Testnet Migration: Updated Linux/macOS setup guidance and migrated from Andantino to Moderato testnet, including RPC URLs and network naming/configuration guidance. Commits: 8e4f5079..., b746ba3b... - Gas Parameter Updates and Gas Limit Checks: Implemented TIP-1010 mainnet gas parameters on TIP-1000 and refactored gas limit checks for maintainability. Commits: 250b9700..., aece344d... - TIP Governance Approvals: Updated TIP statuses to Approved for TIP-1000, TIP-1009, TIP-1010 to enable downstream implementation. Commits: a6b4709b..., f5a37f0e... - Transaction Pool Metrics Bug Fix: Corrected accounting to include expiring nonce transactions in the pool metrics total; strengthened metric invariants. Commit: 63873587... Major bugs fixed: - Expiring nonce transactions were previously excluded from the pool total, causing pending > total in edge cases. The fix ensures total = by_id.len() + expiring_nonce_txs.len(). Validation via unit tests (cargo test -p tempo-transaction-pool; 175 tests passed). Overall impact and accomplishments: - Improved onboarding and developer experience through clearer node setup and testnet guidance. - Restored metric accuracy and consistency, reducing risk of misleading monitoring during peak transaction activity. - Strengthened governance readiness by ensuring TIP approvals are in place for subsequent implementations. - Prepared for mainnet deployment with calibrated gas economics and scalable gas limit design, while maintaining compatibility with existing transaction pools. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Rust code hygiene and refactoring (gas limit helpers, shared gas pool model). - System and network documentation, onboarding content creation. - Cross-functional collaboration and co-authored commits across contributors. - Comprehensive testing and validation (unit tests, clippy, and test suite evidence).
