Nov 1, 2025In November 2025 I focused on strengthening staking reliability and positioning the Thor network for a smooth Proof of Stake (PoS) upgrade. Key work included safety-focused code improvements, cleanup, and configuration changes that reduce risk, improve security posture, and accelerate production readiness. The efforts delivered tangible business value by lowering risk of overflow/underflow, tightening validation logic, and enabling an immediate PoS transition with sensible default configurations.
