Jan 1, 2025January 2025 monthly work summary for manifold-inc/targon: Delivered a configurable Sliding Window for Miner TPS Score Calculation, enabling tunable and more accurate TPS scoring. Replaced the fixed window of 15 with a SLIDING_WINDOW parameter (default 30). Updated validator and math modules to use the new window size, ensuring consistent TPS computations across components. This change improves telemetry reliability and supports better calibration of mining performance across deployments. Commit linked: a85450243a6e232e2f56c68cceb29f1b48f522f4 (fix: extend sliding window).
