Jun 1, 2026June 2026 — MystenLabs/sui monthly summary. Delivered key improvements across Rosetta API integration, query capabilities, package history tracking, and state archival, with robust error handling and security enhancements. Implementations focused on improving business value: lowering user costs, enabling faster onboarding for external RPC providers, and accelerating state-sync with scalable storage paths. Key features delivered: - Gasless stablecoin payments in Rosetta API: enable free-tier stablecoin transactions within Rosetta; includes gasless transaction support and compatibility with existing payment structures (commit 9220309e...). - Rosetta API gRPC header support and authentication enhancements: add support for extra gRPC headers and a CLI option to specify headers for external RPC providers (commit 4f5ae629...). - Flexible querying for transactions and events: introduce unanchored negation and portable cursor usage to filter efficiently without DB hits (commits e4f650c1..., 8f6c229f...). - Move package write tracking and filtering: global transaction bitmap for package history queries and RPC filtering for package writes (commits a3027aa9..., d27ca8d3...). - Archival/state sync improvements and storage performance: improve archival resolution, streaming BigTable-based retrieval, plus Google Cloud Storage (GCS) as archive fallback with remote_store_headers for requester-pays (commits 6e92c30d..., 3e844c50..., e10164e8...). - Epoch/state handling and protocol/config cleanup: hydrate system state in epoch responses and remove legacy fields; add safeguards and placeholders (commits ce0fe265..., 25eb3f37..., 0697f92b...). - RPC error handling improvement for pruned/future epochs: return 404 for pruned epochs to improve error reporting (commit b477e5a1...). Major bugs fixed: - Return 404 on pruned/future epochs for accurate error reporting (b477e5a1...). - Checkpoints/list bug fixes and reverse query robustness improvements (nickv/list checkpoints bugfix, #27106). - Add lower bound to object scans to prevent incorrect reverse lookups (81693c18...). Overall impact and accomplishments: - Significantly improved state-sync latency and reliability through streaming BigTable and GCS fallback; reduced operational risk with explicit 404s for invalid epochs; extended interoperability with external RPC providers via header support; and enhanced query performance with unanchored negation and portable cursors. These changes collectively enable faster onboarding, lower transaction costs, and more robust observability for operators. Technologies and skills demonstrated: - BigTable streaming, Google Cloud Storage integration and requester-pays support, HTTP headers and gRPC header propagation, gasless transaction design, advanced query optimization techniques, and robust state/epoch management.
