PROFILE
Moana
Moana contributed to dusk-network/rusk by engineering core blockchain infrastructure and smart contract features using Rust, JavaScript, and WebAssembly. Over eight months, Moana delivered 39 features and resolved critical bugs, focusing on modularizing the codebase, modernizing build systems, and enhancing test coverage for transfer and staking contracts. Their work included refactoring core modules, centralizing ABI and VM integration, and improving wallet transaction logic for reliability and maintainability. Moana also enforced strict code quality through Clippy linting and migrated the workspace to Rust 2024 edition, ensuring long-term stability. These efforts resulted in a robust, secure, and scalable backend foundation.

Feb 1, 2026February 2026 (Month: 2026-02) — Dusk Network (dusk-network/rusk) monthly summary focused on delivering a modern, secure, and maintainable foundation with concrete business value across Rust tooling, edition modernization, WASM builds, and feature enablement. Key outcomes span migration to stable toolchains, modernization of crate editions, hardened deserialization, improved WASM build workflow, and feature flag-backed stealth capabilities. Key achievements and notable deliverables: - Migrate to stable Rust 1.85 MSRV across the workspace and crates (core, node, node-data, consensus, VM, rusk and related crates, wallet-core, rusk-wallet, rusk-recovery, etc.). This reduces toolchain risk and aligns with supported Rust versions. - Workspace and crate edition modernization: moved workspace crates to Rust 2024 edition and migrated core, node, node-data, consensus, VM, and Rusk family crates to edition 2024, ensuring modern Rust idioms and long-term maintainability. - WASM build tooling improvements for wallet-core: adopt nightly Rust toolchain for WASM builds and streamline build flow for wallet-core and w3sper.js to improve reliability of WASM artifacts. - Security hardening with validated deserialization: replace unsafe rkyv from_bytes with explicit validation (check_archived_root) and deserialize paths across wallet, node, rusk, and tests to harden data integrity and safety at the FFI and network boundaries. - Phoenix fee stealth feature flag across components: add phoenix fee stealth address binding/checks and a feature flag to enable stealth support across core, VM, and node, with corresponding test updates. - Supporting reliability and correctness: VM doc test linker fix on Linux to ensure doc tests build reliably and fallbacks consolidated; workspace dependency updates and serde_with feature toggle for configurable defaults.

Nov 1, 2025November 2025 monthly summary for dusk-network/rusk: Focused on staking improvements, debugging tooling, and build stability across contracts. Key features delivered include: - Staking improvements: stake_activate (Alice) and stake_from_contract (Charlie) with tests for stake_from_contract and isolated stake reversal. - Transfer contract debugging: added wasm trap reproduction query to facilitate debugging. - Build compatibility: standard Rust compiler usage and removal of panic_abort flags across Alice/Charlie and Bob/Charlie to improve cross-contract compatibility and build stability. Impact: enables contract-to-contract staking workflows, improves debugging responsiveness, and strengthens cross-contract interoperability. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Rust, cross-contract interfaces, contract testing, Wasm debugging, and build tooling alignment.

Dec 1, 2024December 2024 was a foundational month for dusk-network/rusk, focusing on a strategic architectural overhaul to dusk-core and dusk-vm to enable scalable feature work, better testability, and deployment readiness. The team completed a comprehensive cross-crate refactor and naming standardization, centralized ABI management, and robust VM integration across core contracts and tooling. These changes reduce cross-crate coupling, standardize interfaces, and pave the way for faster development cycles and more reliable releases. In parallel, testing was enhanced with vm::execute support in transfer and stake contracts, and several hygiene and deployment improvements were implemented to improve maintainability and production readiness.

Oct 1, 2024Month: 2024-10 — Focused on expanding and strengthening the transfer contract test suite for dusk-network/rusk. Delivered comprehensive test coverage and refactors across Phoenix vs Moonlight paths, added tests for contract-to-account and contract-to-contract transfers, separated deposit and withdrawal tests for clearer validation, improved logging and assertions, and extended tests to cover multiple Phoenix input-notes. No major bugs fixed this month; main value came from improving reliability and coverage for critical transfer functionality.
