This week focused on stabilizing the chain foundation, deploying core pallets, and completing the privacy layer. The priority was to ensure the network architecture is solid and privacy-correct before moving into economic expansion and scaling features.
Progress This Week
A) Architecture Reset & Core Pallets Live
1. Fresh Substrate Template Migration (Major Structural Fix)
- Fully migrated to a clean
polkadot-sdk-solochain-template - Resolved long-standing
Cargo.lockand dependency conflicts - Established a stable baseline runtime for all future pallet work
2. Core Pallets Deployed On-Chain
All core pallets are now live in the runtime and callable on-chain:
- MEV Protection
- Emissions
- Staking
- Bridge
3. Emissions Activated
- Emissions configured at 1.407 CHML per block
- 20-year emission schedule locked in
- Genesis configuration and emissions verified on-chain
B) Full Privacy Layer Implemented
Complete MLSAG Privacy Pipeline
The core privacy infrastructure is now fully implemented, delivering:
- Ring Signatures (MLSAG)
- Stealth Addresses
- Confidential Transfers
Sender privacy
Receiver privacy
Double-spend protection via key images
What Was Delivered
- Ring Signatures (MLSAG)
- Sender anonymity
- Key image tracking to prevent double-spends
- Stealth Addresses
- Receiver privacy via one-time addresses
- Confidential Transfers
- End-to-end flow:
Shield → Private Transfer → Unshield
- End-to-end flow:
Privacy Flow
Next Steps
pDEX + Bridge Fees + Fee Distribution
The next phase of development will focus on activating the economic layer of the network, starting with:
pDEX (AMM)
- AMM pools
- Token swaps
- Liquidity provision
Fees & Incentives
- Swap fee collection
- Fee distribution across participants
