Jun 1, 2026June 2026 summary for chainflip-backend. Focused on improving nonce integrity and transaction rejection handling to optimize resource usage and user experience. Key work includes: 1) Nonce Management After Submission Drops: invalidate the best nonce when a submission is removed from the pool to prevent gaps and enable reuse of vacated nonce. 2) Transaction Rejection Handling and Refund Optimization: avoid refunds for transactions rejected below the dust egress limit and update the TransactionRejectionFailed event with rejection reasons for clearer debugging. Impact includes improved nonce sequencing reliability, reduced refund leakage, and enhanced observability. Repository: chainflip-io/chainflip-backend. Technologies/skills demonstrated: backend robustness, event schema evolution, and change management.

Feb 1, 2026February 2026 focused on reinforcing deployment reliability, tightening governance integrity, modernizing event tracking, and strengthening safety checks. Key outcomes include new deployed status visibility with block_height, improved event filtering for deposits, and optimized address state handling; epoch-change-driven liveness election invalidation and added epoch argument to liveness elections with migrations; a new RPC-based ingress/egress tracking interface with serialized support for Bitcoin and Ethereum, plus an action-based broadcasting model; and a safety gate for lending pool deregistration with tests ensuring accounts cannot deregister while funds are active. These changes improve reliability, security, and scalability across core workflows, reduce operational risk, and pave the way for future enhancements.
