Jan 1, 2026

January 2026 (LedgerHQ/ledger-live) — Focused delivery around startup performance observability for persistent storage and data persistence optimization, with attention to reducing write load and maintaining data quality. Key features delivered: - Storage startup performance monitoring: instrument the startup path for persistent storage, log startup events, and measure time to read storage data to improve startup performance and observability (MMKV). Related commits include ba033215c8920337e131c71c67b862c22ba6af19 and a9975b70a2db7dbd413d43d1a41940eb614fddde. - Countervalues persistence and data retention optimization: reduce unnecessary saves, implement a 7-day retention policy for hourly countervalue data, and update helpers and tests to align with the new policy. Related commits include 7a264432a31b1b1311b0e63e70a896c83d913187, 00056cd4a973f7a5c4f7493fdecd385dad3fa5aa, and 93cfcb02fdc4a97a353174b9c12847a546bd8f0b. Major bugs fixed: - Stop constant saving of countervalues, reducing excessive writes and stabilizing persistence (commits: 00056cd4a973f7a5c4f7493fdecd385dad3fa5aa; 93cfcb02fdc4a97a353174b9c12847a546bd8f0b). - Enforce retention policy to prevent unbounded growth of hourly datapoints (commit: 7a264432a31b1b1311b0e63e70a896c83d913187). Overall impact and accomplishments: - Improved startup observability and reduced startup time variability through explicit performance instrumentation. - Significantly reduced write volume and storage growth via 7-day retention and smarter persistence logic. - Strengthened data quality and reliability with updated helpers and tests surrounding countervalue data. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - MMKV persistent storage usage and instrumentation for performance metrics. - Performance monitoring instrumentation and measurable impact analysis. - Data lifecycle management (retention policies) and test-driven updates. - Code hygiene improvements and targeted bug fixes to reduce I/O and stabilize behavior.

During July 2025, LedgerHQ/device-sdk-ts delivered a robust keyring TLV parsing core and data models (Command, Block, BlockStream) with fromData support and internal refactors, enabling reliable parsing and data handling. Authentication work now returns trustchainId and includes new error types LKRPHttpRequestError and LKRPParsingError, improving failure diagnostics. We shipped end-to-end Trustchain operations (fetch by id, post derivations, add a new block to a stream) and integrated the DeviceAuth flow, updated sample apps, and enabled KeypairAuth in the DA. Foundational data-access improvements (EitherAsync) and multiple maintenance refactors improve modularity, testing, and long-term velocity for feature delivery.
