Agenda: Discord thread

CAP Core team deliberated on the proposed CAPs:

  1. Addition of a constructor to Soroban's flavor of Rust. CAP
    1. Team's concern was about potential break in compatibility, which Dima had addressed. There were no further concerns.
  2. Addition of BLS12-381 curve and required field arithmetics - CAP
    1. Team's concern was about providing functions to check invalid input. It's too computationally expensive to do the check at the contract layer so the it may need to be implemented as a host function. Jay is seeking ecosystem input around use cases that require strict input validation.
    2. There were no further concerns.
  3. Increase performance by upgrading Soroban's VM. CAP Discussion
    1. Team's comments were about accuracy of the measurement method but the demonstrated benefits of wall clock time were thought to be promising.
    2. There was a suggestion to expose performance improvements to contract developers thus creating the incentive to optimize contracts to leverage the improvements.
    3. There were no further concerns.
