Everscale Node June 2024 Updates: Improvements to SMFT and REMP, New Crate for Error Processing

SMFT

Everscale developers deployed another stability patch for SMFT that changed protocol timings, providing improvements for the extra load problem. More investigations will be done on this topic in the future.

REMP

Following a series of tests in May, the patch for improving REMP’s performance and stability was added to the Evernode. Besides, engineers released a bugfix to ensure the delivery of external messages with any REMP availability options. In another release, they adjusted the logging of REMP’s client, and fixed the resending of a top shard’s block. Issues with the extra CPU load were resolved, as well.

Refactoring

Core crate for error processing was updated to the newer ones: anyhow and thiserror. Earlier, the failure crate was not appropriately supported by the community, so the upgrade made it possible to remove outdated dependencies and refresh remaining ones for better stability.
