The committee agreed to follow the pre-defined agenda with Bosko facilitating the review and keeping track of items. | The meeting proceeded as a decentralized, self-chaired session. | | Action Items Review | Kevin completed the TSC budget proposal adjustments by the previous Friday deadline. Terence confirmed that all new members have accepted ClickUp, Google Drive, and Slack invitations. | All member onboarding and access setups are fully complete. | | CC Minimum Size | Alexander reported that the Civics Committee expressed concern over drastic rationale changes regarding the Constitutional Committee (CC) minimum size. | Alexander and Ryan collaborated with them to establish a unified proposal. | | Parameter Change Submission | Alexander suggested submitting the CC minimum size reduction this week without waiting for the Plutus parameter updates to fully finish on-chain. | Ryan supported keeping parameter changes unbundled so DReps can weigh them separately. | | Quantum Computing Context | Guest speaker Hart provided an overview of quantum compute capabilities, noting its severe threat to public-key cryptography via Shor's algorithm. | Symmetric cryptography (e.g., AES) is a lower priority due to the high resource cost of Grover's algorithm. | | Harvest Now, Decrypt Later | Hart highlighted the active risk of adversaries recording current encrypted data traffic to decrypt it once fault-tolerant quantum computers emerge. | This makes off-chain data flows and non-PQ secure ZKPs vulnerable today. | | Cryptographic Agility | Hart defined cryptographic agility as the engineering ability to swap algorithms and keys cleanly without core system downtime. | Protocols must be robust enough to handle the larger key and signature sizes inherent to PQ crypto. | | Cardano Quantum Risk Profile | Hart assessed Cardano's core ledger risk as relatively low compared to EVM chains since it avoids encrypted commitments. | Alexander argued that Cardano remains uniquely vulnerable because its consensus relies heavily on VRF keys. | | Ekklesia Evaluation Tool | Christian proposed converting Kevin's DRep evaluation framework blueprint into an automated, AI-driven analysis tool to flag project red flags. | Alexander noted this fits his ongoing work with custom sentiment-aligned governance agents. | | Hard Fork Status & Ogmios | Bosko reported that Ogmios readiness remains the critical path blocker for the Pre-Prod hard fork, as a fast review of the massive PR by Matthias is unlikely. | To maintain the May 29th Mainnet timeline, an option to utilize a temporary code fork of Ogmios is under review. | | DB-Sync Fix | Bosko confirmed that the epoch tracking discrepancy affecting versions up to 13.7.0.x has been completely resolved in the new 13.7.1.0 release. | Operators remaining on 13.7.0.5 are instructed to run the patch script provided in the release notes. | | TSC Chair Elections | Terence outlined the standard annual election process for the TSC Chair and Vice Chair roles via the Intersect Members Area interface. | The application window officially opened this week. The runner-up in the vote becomes Vice Chair. | --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
