mini-activation roadmap (during the day for the next epochs):
0 - rpc shutdown (and preparation of a 2+ hour window)
1 - snapshot of the state (of both networks, mainnet and devnet), the snapshot hash will be available separately,
2 - sequential activation on foundation nodes (we will launch a planned merge on our nodes and wait for all rules to activate on the mainnet, this is done to ensure all rules are in place and properly debugged),
3 - monitoring the progress of epochs, after 1000 epochs, a public set of configs for connecting external validators is published (the mainnet becomes uncontrolled, validator participants contribute bonds and begin participating in the treechain).
we ran several test runs over the weekend and confirmed everything was fine, so we're starting the process step by step, we'll publish info about the activation window shortly (this could be considered the snapshot time), everything was boiled down to a few simple steps, and we don't expect any significant issues today.
the reward model will be published separately, as the mainnet differs significantly in supply and reward formation, as well as the OU fees for ops carried out.
** all rewards earned by validators in the devnet for the entire period will be available to them in the main net (every bit processed will be counted and fairly determined)
thanks everyone. – at London, England
its time to update the mainnet and release it in the form it was originally planned, the very first vision is probably the only correct one
special thanks to all the validators and participants who supported the devnet and continue to do so - now it's time for the mainnet, permission less access is planned for tomorrow/the day after (the exact time is unknown, any second now)
everything needed to run a mainnet node will be available in a separate release, thanks everyone

Octra does not actually need a new CLI, it is natively agentic.
Any agent can build webcli, derive keys, fund a wallet, encrypt, deploy programs and circles and even run nodes. The RPC scheme is complete, our own fleet runs on public code.
Easily the most agent friendly network:
can't wait for @octra to get CLI for agents
private onchain agent swarms coming soon

from zero to one - devnet was updated at epoch 1500000 (much better than we expected), there were some delays that should be resolved with the new release (existing validators should upgrade, the release marker is already in place).
among other things, we moved a lot of tests that we don't usually add to releases, but decided to slowly add them for the sake of culture and convenience of validators and devs who directly work with the code, so that they don't waste time writing covering tests.
another thing i'd like to point out is that main net is catching up quickly with all the fixes successfully implemented in dev net, the next release will include configs for connecting to main net, so validators will be able to start working with the main network as well.
want an upgrade? it's simple, run these commands from your existing node checkout + using the same user that runs your node:
sh controls/upgrade.sh --diagnose
sh controls/upgrade.sh --apply
sh controls/upgrade.sh --diagnose
* remember the days when upgrading took several iterations and a ton of approvals? that's a thing of the past now.
btw, if you have a spare graphics card or a cluster of GPUs, now's the time to create a symlink for your future mainnet node because you'll have something to fill it with (private inference on steroids has already been tested and debugged).
ps: a major webcli update is also on the way, thanks to everyone for their support and help. – at London, England

The GTD phase will begin in 5 minutes.
Many of the projects being launched right now are flops that appear and disappear within a day.
- We’ve been building this project for over two weeks.
- We’ve created high-quality artwork for NFTs with 90+ traits.
- We’ve launched our test app and granted limited access to testers.
- We’ve made GTD a real GTD.
Every promise has been kept.

octra weekly recap 🔵
no new launches but we have rich weeks ahead of mainnet
→ devnet now has around 40 external validators and early testers running nodes
→ final consensus testing is moving toward devnet epoch 1.5m
→ mainnet configs and the p2p map are planned after those final tests
→ HFHE is becoming its own independent track
→ post-quantum signature research is continuing alongside it
the recent validator, sync, recovery, and consensus work is starting to look like one clear phase:
hardening the network for broader external participation and the next mainnet steps
mainnet is still ahead, and the current updates show steady progress toward that point
universal encrypted compute
octra weekly recap 🔵
no new tagged release this week
but daily shipping updates
→ validator scheduling changes
→ quorum policy tuning
→ safer lag + catch-up handling
→ tighter snapshot history
→ storage cleanup + account-store changes
→ more finality/state-sync hardening
this week was mostly about making the network better at agreeing, syncing and recovering

The app is live for everyone holding a Pipkits NFT.

For this test run we cut the show cycle from 7 days down to 3.
Heads up: all of this runs on Robinhood Testnet.
Everything the game does is written up in the docs: pipkits.space/docs
In 3 days the top players pick up a special status. More on that soon.
Missed the mint? You can still try to grab one on the marketplace: app.pipkits.space/#market
We might run one more public mint later on. We'll post it on X, and it'll come out of nowhere, so keep notifications on.
The test Pipkits mint is live.
Mint page: app.pipkits.space/#mint
Price: 0 $PKITS
We made the mint free because the Robinhood network official faucet limits how much test ETH you can claim per day, and some of you had already hit that limit and could not get $PKITS.
If you already swapped your testnet ETH, don't worry. $PKITS is still needed in the game itself.
We have also expanded the allowlist, since several communities sent in their winner lists.

an update regarding webcli: many cryptographic primitives have undergone changes aimed at enhancing security. the cryptographic interface has been expanded to include new required functions - such as key switching and refreshing - and improvements have been made to the handling of ciphertexts, the bridge, and other components.
an informative feature has also been added to visualize the ciphertext data structure as an interactive L-map, this allows to view noise levels, new layers, and more.
the cryptographic primitive interface has become more complex, and legacy balances now require explicit re-encryption and key switching for security reasons.
this update is currently available on devnet and will be supported on main net in a few days, following additional security verification.
the entire cryptographic workflow is now seamlessly available, the next update will be a full lite node designed for quick startup (details in the next announcement).
strongly recommended to update to the latest version, thanks everyone.

the largest dev net update is currently underway, support for direct GPU computing for resource-sharing circles has been added to nodes as part of the development of on-chain state inference mechanics
we plan to complete this tomorrow afternoon (this will deserve a separate article)

the bounty funds have been returned to the association's address, we made a mistake in setting up the bounty challenge and will relaunch it
a close friend of ours quickly noticed it and signaled us about it
the bounty will be relaunched a bit later with a new setup

the updated lite node has been transferred to the octra labs github: github.com/octra-labs/lite_n…
important to note that it is not a conventional "light node" that only downloads headers, but rather a full validator node reserved for smaller devices and tasks that don't involve heavy compute: old laptops, mobile phones and raspberry pi.
with the open sourcing of the lite node, the web client and the pvac-hfhe proof of concept, most of the stages of preparation for mainnet beta are complete. external validators will be able to connect to the network after the upgrade.
work remains on web client security, the release of a formal hfhe paper, the mainnet network whitepaper, regular and bootstrap nodes, dev tooling & app layer. a roadmap update will be published separately.
hfhe: github.com/octra-labs/pvac_h…
client: github.com/octra-labs/webcli…
dear community, the lite node will now be publicly available directly on GitHub (the internal version will match the public one exactly), we have also decided to merge the new VM policies along with these commits, a big webcli update is coming now
github.com/octra-labs/lite_n…
thank you for your support

in the PoC version of PVAC-HFHE, the recrypt function contained a blank for the next bounty, which was already revealed to us (even though we didn't ask for it), so we decided to make a new one, and this and a few other small things will simply be patched, and for the bounty, we will prepare a new interesting challenge*, which will be published a little later, with a new release of webcli** (with an update to the proof system) and pvac (secure recrypt)
* bounties are becoming more interesting and richer, and include not only cryptography, but also testing hypotheses on hostile behavior within the ledger, VM, circle outline, etc
** it may seem like there are a number of problems right now, but that's not the case, bc the network has already been updated, but the public repo hasn't caught up yet, this will be completed today – at Hackney, London

factory closed beta is over.
as promised, it ran for about a week.
a few bugs turned up along the way, and all of them are already fixed. thank you to everyone who tested, we couldn't have done it without you.
the public side of factory is now open to everyone on octra devnet. to connect, use factory wallet or 0xio.
app: app.factory-amm.xyz/
the private side will come later, we'll get back to it.
the desktop factory wallet updates soon, with swaps right inside the wallet.

this claims false and not verifable
technical section already fails at the first factual step
“there’s no WASM as claimed.”
archive.ph/Eb4pc#selection-1…
but that is false. the sandbox build contains a downloadable .wasm artifact. It can be downloaded and inspected! lines 429, 437, 866, 994 in worker (sandbox.octra.org/assets/was…) show a WASM file loading path.
wasm file sandbox.octra.org/assets/mai…
also truncated the exact part that matters there:
archive.ph/Eb4pc#selection-2…
lines 893–900 and 1491–1500 show the omitted API surface in worker (sandbox.octra.org/assets/was…)
and then conclude:
>“the flow here is decrypt-compute-reencrypt.”
but the omitted part includes more operations and the worker dispatch routes actual sandbox requests through the loaded wasm module
lines
1471–1472 generateKeys
1475–1476 encrypt
1479–1480 decrypt
1483–1484 add
1487–1488 subtract
1491–1492 multiply
1495–1496 divide
1499–1500 cofactor
sandbox receives operation and routes it to WASM-backed module function.
next, technical reasoning keeps changing standards
archive.ph/Eb4pc#selection-3…
that is an informal complexity guess, If the claim is “not scalable,” show benchmarks, asymptotic derivation, parameters, operation counts, and comparison against the actual implementation
we have avaliable benchmarks, unlike author
(github.com/octra-labs/pvac_h…)
then he compare HFHE to CKKS and TFHE. this is a false analogy: he treats CKKS/TFHE design choices as if they were mandatory criteria for any FHE construction, same as i treated EVM as mandatory design for any *VM construction. a new construction does not fail merely because it lacks the same machinery used by existing schemes, such as CKKS rescaling or TFHE programmable bootstrapping. the burden is to show that the current construction lacks any equivalent mechanism required for correctness, noise control, or homomorphic evaluation. without that, the argument is just: HFHE does not look like CKKS/TFHE, therefore HFHE is invalid. wtf? that is not even logically valid
archive.ph/Eb4pc#selection-4…
the claim is that the current HFHE construction is just Paillier, he must show that in the current repository. (github.com/octra-labs/pvac_h…), instead, he talks about older artifacts (ocaml HFHE repo) and then transfers that conclusion onto the active implementation!
on key sharding, he again overstates the conclusion and giving his personal opinions on how sharding should be done. the octra docs page itself says it is a “visual example,” that the bootstrapping algorithm is “not presented here,” and that key features are generalized. he is treating a generalized explanatory page as a full formal spec, then attacking it for not being a full formal spec (docs.octra.org/tech-docs/hfh…). this is straw man.
therefore, conclusion cannot follow from these facts. the argument is built on false and incomplete premises!
are you really willing to bet your reputation on claims contradicted by the artifacts themselves?

i'm happy to announce that i've just published my work on the formal verification in lean 4 of @octra's hfhe scheme: github.com/lamafab/octra-hfh… (remains heavily work-in-progress).
this will be refined over time and i'll add a bunch of pretty charts to make this more approachable. so far none of my previous charts actually described how the hypergraph fits into the hfhe scheme. additionally, the team behind @octra has asked me to work on their whitepaper, which i'll gladly contribute to. more to come.
