Argument

I was inducted as rank 1 through referenda 93 on 2024/04/22 but I missed the latest retention deadline. I am submitting this argument looking to regain my former rank.

During this reporting period, I have been focusing on multiple areas:

I contributed to the effort to provide a stable test environment for the teams developing the Citizenship app by upgrading and stabilizing the Bulletin chain and the People to Bulletin bridge.

During the previous reporting period I started working on limiting and optimizing the heap memory usage in Polkadot. Following up on that work, I iterated on and merged the required primitives in parity-scale-codec and started integrating them in polkadot-sdk. The final work here consist in lazily decoding and setting a heap memory limit for the RuntimeCall and the PR for this is in review.

During the previous periods I have been working on adding support for reporting BEEFY fork equivocations. Following up on that effort, I finished the last pieces and enabled the equivocation reporting extrinsic.

I started contributing to an effort to optimize and improve the XCMP enqueuing logic, increasing the number of inbound messages that can be enqueued in a block from ~300 to >20k through weight metering improvements and batching. I plan to continue working on this in the following period, having multiple options to improve this further.
