Introduction

Welcome to our weekly update, a summary of the most recent progress and achievements in our project. To access the previous update, please click on the following link: Weekly Report — June 16, 2024

1. Audit Completed

The company responsible for the audit has finished its assessment.

We are actively working on the necessary adjustments and will soon disclose the final audit report.

We have established a commercial arrangement with the Auditor company (recommended by Astar team). We are currently working with them on auditing. It is a tedious process as we need to make sure V0 is a stable basis for all our next efforts. Work involves re-running all tests, get their feedback, fixing issues and run a full final audit.

Preliminary audit has been completed, the audit plan has been established as follows.

Runtime implementation baseline check. We delve deep into the implementation of BalanceAI to identify any divergence from the design that might render it susceptible to vulnerabilities.

Attack assessment: Drawing from the previously postulated attack paths, our hacking team identifies implementation flaws. The team endeavors to find ways to successfully execute attacks.
Hacking vector exploration: In tandem, our experts probe the system from multiple angles. This parallel approach ensures that we holistically cover BalanceAI’s stack, focusing particularly on the runtime logic of the implementation.
Dynamic testing: We employ dynamic testing methodologies, including coverage guided fuzz testing on the BalanceAI runtime implementation. This approach facilitates the discovery of hidden vulnerabilities by generating a plethora of random inputs to scrutinize how the system responds.

The review covers BalanceAI v0:

A. BAI v0: Network Genesis and Chainspec

B. BAI v0: Network Runtime Configuration

C. BAI v0: Governance Configuration

2. Dashboard and Bridge Tests

We are currently actively testing the dashboard and bridge capabilities.

As bridge security is crucial we are closely with auditors on the bridge audit.

3. Remember, the first version of our new documentation is now available!

This marks a significant milestone in our journey to enhance user experience and provide comprehensive support for our blockchain.

We are actively developing and expanding our documentation. Future updates will bring more guides, tutorials, and examples, improved accessibility, and integration of user feedback.

6. New Website

First draft of new website design has been completed. We are working on finalizing the website HTML code to publish it.

7. ETH <-> BAI Bridge

We have finished the Bridge Pallet, currently integrating it with the main codebase.

8. V1 Design process has started

We have started working on the design documents for the V1.

On-Chain Access: The ability for users and/or applications to interact with AI models in a controlled (by Balance AI blockchain data) environment.
AI Models Wrapped : A wrapper framework serves as a software development kit (SDK) designed to expose AI models via API, streamlining the process of integrating these models into Balance AI Marketplace. This framework automates several crucial aspects related to on-chain access, payments, security, and validation, enhancing the accessibility and usability of AI models in on-chain environment.

9. We have started the migration process to a new domain

We are currently in the process of migrating our website to our new official BalanceAI Network domain. The site will be under construction for a brief period. Coming soon, we will begin publishing updated project information documents.
