Quantus Weekly: PoW Audit Completed and Dirac Testnet Launch
This week the team completed the audit from Equilibrium of our proof of work algorithm and Poseidon hash function and shipped updated apps to both app stores.
Development News
- Weekly Github activity report including 147 total events: https://github.com/Quantus-Network/n8n-workflows/blob/main/github/weekly-update-2025-11-16-19:27:32.md
- Review the audit of our PoW algorithm and Poseidon hash function with all issues resolved here: https://github.com/Quantus-Network/qp-poseidon/tree/main/audits
Core Tech
- Updated the command-line interface (CLI) to work with dirac testnet
- ZK proof generation for block header provenance, a major milestone as it proves our circuit logic works with dynamic data not just static dummy proofs.
- Resolved issues with the node command line.
Network & Infra
- Fixed the multi-arch docker workflow for the chain.
- Finalized the Dirac release by updating all nodes, removing old testnets, and rolling out new dashboards and alerts. See grafana.quantus.cat and telemetry.quantus.cat
- Updated the Faucet with new libraries, a new server, and added metrics, new /king command for referral leaderboard.
- Enhanced network monitoring with a PostgreSQL backend for Grafana, adding various fixes and optimizations.
- Set up IaC (infrastructure as code) on a new server, connecting all Heisenberg & Dirac nodes.
- Updated the Subsquid indexing service to support the Dirac testnet and added Prometheus metrics.
Web & Mobile App Updates
- Released Mobile Wallet version 1.1.1 to the App Stores. Apple is requiring more info, but that should be resolved soon.
- Updated the Mobile Wallet to connect to the Dirac testnet.
- Fixed several Mobile Wallet bugs, including issues with scheduled notifications, updating account names, and biometric authentication.
- Updated the Miner App to use the new Dirac chain and fixed stats reporting.
- Added a new settings screen and an in-app binary update feature to the Miner App.
- Migrated the Task Master application to the Dirac testnet and added Prometheus metrics.
- Added a new command to the Faucet bot for checking the leaderboard for our upcoming referral feature.
Content & Partnerships
- We have several fundraising contracts out and $250k verbally committed.
- Hired The Quantum Insider to handle SEO for both Quantum Canary and Quantus.
- Created a new n8n flow for tracking social media growth (we just crossed 500 podcast subscribers).
- Podcast with Jangle, DeFi builder: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBNEAdhGsGk&t
