Areas of Contribution Tasks Links Notes
Go SCALE Codec Maintenance and improvements to the Go SCALE Codec used in the Gossamer project refactor(pkg/scale): revise VaryingDataType to an interface (#3669) Updates scale.VaryingDataType (aka. rust enums) to an interface to allow for cleaner instantiation of variants when decoding. No longer uses reflection in the default implementation of scale.VaryingDataType.
Go SCALE Codec Maintenance and improvements to the Go SCALE Codec used in the Gossamer project feat(pkg/scale): Add Marshaler and Unmarshaler interfaces and functionality (#3617) Adds custom encoding and decoding support
WASM Runtime Introduction and maintenance of native Go WASM runtime using wazero #3290, #3352, and #3617 Updates the default WASM runtime from wasmer to wazero for the Gossamer project. We ended up having to fork the wazero repository to support exporting of shared memory to support the freeing bump allocator. This significantly reduced our memory usage in the Gossamer project as well as alleviated our need for cgo bindings to non-native WASM runtimes.
Consensus Protocols Implementation of a standalone GRANDPA package in Go lib(pkg): standalone finality-grandpa package (#3235) A translation of the standalone finality-grandpa package from Rust to Go. We will be using this with an analogous client integration of the standalone finality-grandpa package to achieve a complete refactor of our GRANDPA implementation in Gossamer.
Consensus Protocols Integration of the standalone GRANDPA package in Go refactor(client/consensus/grandpa): revise generic params, fix justification signing and verification (#3909) Begins to integrate the standalone finality-grandpa Go package into Gossamer and provides justification signing and verification

  • Concern(s):

  • Comment(s):

    • I currently hold the role of technical lead of the Gossamer project. I am responsible for the technical direction of the project, as well as providing technical guidance and coaching to the other members of the team, some of whom are fellowship members.
    • I am the main the technical point of contact when it comes to the Gossamer project, and we interface with members of the web3 foundation via a monthly sync. We try to be active as well in the Host Implementors chat on Element.
    • We recently got our treasury proposal successfully approved for funding of the Gossamer project. I talked briefly on AAG regarding our proposal and future roadmap.
    • Looking forward to leading the Gossamer project towards a full node release, as well as leading the development efforts to fulfill the JAM milestones using the Go programming language.
