January 2026 – Focused on delivering targeted tooling to improve testing and analysis of the Tycho collator workflow in broxus/tycho. Key feature delivered: a new Block State Dump Tool for Testing and Collation Analysis, enabling dumping the node state for a specific block without requiring a running node. This tool reduces test setup time, improves reproducibility of collation scenarios, and accelerates debugging. No major bugs fixed this month; the emphasis was on delivering and validating the new tooling and reinforcing testability. Overall impact: enhances testing efficiency, lowers operational overhead for QA, and provides a deterministic mechanism to analyze collation behavior. Technologies/skills demonstrated: tooling development for testing, CLI-style tooling patterns, commit-driven development, and collaboration within the broxus/tycho repository.

October 2024 — broxus/tycho: Anchor Import now uses Work Units (WU) as the limit for importing the next anchor, replacing the prior gas-based cap. This refactor introduces new parameters and calculations to track WU consumption during block preparation, execution, and finalization, enabling a more accurate and granular resource model for anchor import decisions. Delivery tracked in commit 9e5df9552566c42bc1ac441087a5bb0a22ce2c75 (feat(collator): import next anchor by work units limit (#346)).
