Mihai contributed to the multiversx/mx-chain-go and mx-chain-simulator-go repositories by engineering robust blockchain backend features and improving system reliability. He developed and refined smart contract execution cost simulation, epoch-aware transaction processing, and dynamic consensus group sizing, using Go and Python to implement concurrency, dependency management, and integration testing. Mihai enhanced API endpoints for transaction visibility and block retrieval, introduced precise gas cost calculations, and overhauled proof management architecture to support secure, scalable deployments. His work included extensive code refactoring, test infrastructure modernization, and module upgrades, resulting in maintainable codebases and stable CI pipelines that support business-critical blockchain operations.

October 2025 (mx-chain-go): Delivered epoch-aware transaction type processing, refactored core logic to support epoch-based handling, and added an integration test validating behavior when relayed transactions are disabled in a specific epoch. This work improves accuracy of transaction type classification across chain epochs, enhances user-facing behavior, and increases test coverage for epoch-driven scenarios.
