Core Tech & ZK

• Ran another round of formal verification on the ZK circuits in Lean. The aggregation spec now proves each real nullifier is spent once, and the switch network that reorders nullifiers inside a private batch is proven to route any permutation, which removes the last unproven assumption in the private batch completeness proof. Released qp-plonky2 v1.6.0 with this work.
• Open-sourced the Quantus indexer:

• Released quantus-cli v2.3.0.

Network & Infra

• Released chain v1.0.2-Qm: the fee reduction runtime and an efficiency improvement in miner-node interaction.
• Explorer improvements.

Web & Mobile App Updates

• Mobile wallet 1.6.3 on the App Store and Google Play: the mobile wallet is the only place to claim the airdrop.
• Relaunched the blog with categories: quantus.com/blog
