Junction v0.3.0
Junction v0.3.0 Varanasi Testnet Release Note
In this version of our testnet, we have introduced Wasm module integration into our chain, allowing us to incorporate Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) components into our ecosystem.
Additionally, snapshot size optimization has been a primary focus. The previous testnet suffered from excessive storage usage, so this version ensures that each custom module is designed to minimize space consumption while maintaining performance.
🔥 Key Features
1️⃣ Wasm Module Integration
- Migrated to a fully integrated Wasm module, allowing better smart contract execution.
- Enhanced support for privacy-preserving computations using ZkFHE.
- Addressed DA Layer and WASM-related bugs for a more stable network.
2️⃣ Optimized Storage Efficiency
- Reworked snapshot mechanics to reduce storage bloat.
- Custom modules are now optimized for minimal space consumption.
- Improved state management to prevent unnecessary data duplication.
3️⃣ ZkFHE: Zero-Knowledge Fully Homomorphic Encryption
We have implemented ZkFHE in two layers to ensure secure, encrypted computations across modular components:
✅ Execution Layer
- Encrypts all data transactions before passing them to different modules like the proving network.
- Ensures that rollup data remains private while being processed.
✅ Proving Network & Settlement Layer
- Generates ZK Proofs of correct execution states.
- Sends the ZK Proofs to the Orchestrator, a centralized entity for rollup coordination.
- The Junction settlement layer receives the proof and related data for final verification.
