Update - 17.07.26

DEX.DO

• DEX.DO Bug Bounty program is in development. Stay tuned!

• DEX.DO CLI has been updated to v0.0.12.

  The release fixes a critical security issue affecting withdrawals from previous-generation Private Notes, restores compatibility with the updated Shellnet and the new Halo2/Hermez KZG prover, and improves order management by ensuring that scanning no longer stops when it encounters already executed orders.

  All changes have been successfully validated through a complete end-to-end DEX workflow.

• The migration to the Hermez trusted setup–based KZG has been completed. This significantly simplifies halo2-prover setup and reduces initialization time of private note deployment. All components are now running on the final secure configuration, providing the foundation for future development and releases.

Node & SDK

• The rollout of network upgrade v0.18.0 has started. https://github.com/ackinacki/ackinacki/releases/tag/v0.18.0 This release unlocks the technical possibility to release DEX.DO in Mainnet.

  It introduces major enhancements, including the integration of a fully on-chain DEX and the AI Inference Market, the completion of the USDC Bridge with Halo2 proof verification, a new History Proof system and Poseidon Merkle Tree-based block identifiers, required for ZK Bridge, significant node performance and reliability improvements, as well as updated TVM-SDK and infrastructure for the ZK bridge.

• TVM-SDK v3.0.4.an has been released: https://github.com/tvmlabs/tvm-sdk/releases/tag/v3.0.4.an. The SDK now supports verification of Halo2/KZG zero-knowledge proofs through the new TVM instructions ZKHALO2VERIFY and ZKHALO2VERIFYWITHVK, extending the existing support for Groth16 and Poseidon. The release also introduces the CHKHISTPROOF instruction for verifying Merkle proofs of block history in TVM.

• TVM Solidity Compiler v0.81.0 has been released: https://github.com/gosh-sh/TVM-Solidity-Compiler/releases/tag/gosh_0.81.0

  dapp_id field is added to the contract events, allowing DApp developers to query only their DApp's events for indexing.

Bridge

Bridge TVM instructions are being rolled out to the network in v0.18.0 release. These may be not the final version of them, as the audit is still ongoing. With this v0.18.0 Network Update we are getting very close to the ZK Bridge release.

Update - 10.07.26

Block Manager Licenses

Sales of Block Manager Licenses have started. These licenses are intended for independent operators of Acki Nacki network access infrastructure.

Popits

Popits 3.0 has launched together with a new Boosts season. Popits has evolved into an AI ecosystem for creating, distributing, and monetizing music: users can generate original tracks with AI, publish and mint them, and participate in community-driven contests and reward programs.

The new season includes NACKL mining mechanics linked to music listening and platform activity. At launch, more than 1,000 AI-generated tracks created by the community during closed testing were available. Popits is also available through the Telegram bot.

Node & Network & SDK

• TVM SDK 3.0.0 has been released, and the new addressing scheme has been rolled out to Shellnet. Shellnet is now compatible only with SDK 3.0.0, so application developers should migrate to this version now. The migration guide is here.

• bee-engine and ackinacki-kit do not support SDK 3.0.0 yet. A release with 3.0.0 support will follow soon; stay tuned for announcements.

• The Mainnet release of the new addressing scheme is still being tested.

Network Status

A public Acki Nacki network status page has been launched.

Bridge

• A repository for generating proofs for withdrawals from Acki Nacki has been prepared. It will be published soon.

• Work on the circuit for BK set updates has resumed.

Wallet

AN Wallet is currently not compatible with Shellnet: to speed up development and testing, the final API version with the new addressing scheme was rolled out there first. An AN Wallet release with Shellnet support is expected in the coming days.

Update - 29.05.26

Node & Network & SDK

TVM-SDK 3.0.0 with new addressing scheme is coming. All the applications MUST migrate to it before StateV2 release.

Bridge

End-to-end positive deposit/withdraw scenarios testing is ongoing. The audit excludes BK set update proof verification, as Shellnet currently does not perform BK set updates. User documentation for transfers from the test EVM network to Shellnet is also in preparation. Stay tuned for upcoming announcements!

DEX.DO

• Added account balance APIs covering both collateral and per-market outcome tokens.

• Exposed maker and taker commission rates on the markets endpoint.

• Published the OpenAPI specification.

• Released POST /api/v1/buyFullSet for buying a full set of outcome tokens with collateral; the matching sellFullSet and claim endpoints are specified and will follow.

An open-source release of the DEX.DO stack - including halo2 libraries, the indexer, API, and exchange integration libraries - is coming. Stay tuned. 🚀

Documentation

A new Synchronization and Consensus Mechanism section was added. It explains how Acki Nacki reaches consensus on block order and validation, including finalization and error handling.

Support

Support requests were simplified and now go through a single bot: @ackinackisupport_bot. A questionnaire and screenshot upload option were added. Bot links are available in all official chats, and requests are reviewed daily.

We established a new automated process of collecting feedback from the community across all chat channels for further discussion and follow-up with the core team.

Update - 22.05.26

Node & Network

After the Durable State release, the network team identified a bug in external message processing. Patch releases v0.16.1 and v0.16.2 were prepared and have already been rolled out to the network.

Work on State V2 is currently in progress.

Attention!!!!!

Account addressing in State V2 will use the DApp ID + address format. At the moment, all applications are still using the old addressing scheme.

We are planning to prepare a migration guide for applications to support the transition.

The SDK with new account addressing support is already available (latest version: v2.24.21)

API Access

Degraded public API performance over the last 1.5 week was caused by increased miner bot activity. These bots abused public infrastructure from a set of IP addresses.

To prevent this load from affecting other network users, the rate limit policy for public endpoints was tightened. API request optimizations were also made to improve response speed.

Miner applications may acquire a Block Manager license to avoid these limits. There will be an additional post on this topic the next week.

The internal network economy is evolving, and that is great to see!

Bridge

Changes made to the TokenBridge event circuit based on the results of the Pruvendo audit.

Decision was made to replace vergrth16WithVK instruction with ZKHALO2VERIFYWITHVK - this will simplify the integration a lot.

DODEX

Dodex development focused on the Market Maker API and Shellnet testing tools. Added Cancel Order API, all orders API (including cancelled, rejected and fulfilled orders), and batched API support. Prepared the first version of scripts for producing artificial load for end-to-end API testing on Shellnet.

Maker and Taker commission supported in DODEX core smart contracts.

Wallet

A wallet release with support for the new DAPP ID + Account ID addressing format is planned in the near future. Please follow upcoming announcements. After the State V2 release, the old addressing format will no longer be supported. We will keep you updated.

Documentation & Developer Experience

A separate documentation page was added for receiving test tokens on Shellnet: Get test tokens from giver in Shellnet.

Update - 15.05.26

Node & Network

• Durable State was released in v0.16.0. Network providers are coordinating the update to keep the transition aligned across the network.

Bridge

On the bridge side, we continue building the infrastructure for ZKP-proof verification and safe asset movement between EVM and Acki Nacki.

• The SDK now includes the vergrth16WithVK instruction for proving an EVM-to-Acki Nacki transfer proof on the Acki Nacki side. The instruction is not included in a public release yet. The next step in this direction is integrating vergrth16WithVK instruction into the Acki Nacki bridge and testing the full deposit to Acki Nacki scenario.

• The Exchange contract was renamed to TokenBridge and withdrawal bridge interface was added to TokenBridge: it will allow initiating USDC withdrawals to the EVM network with event generation for a later ZKP-proof on the EVM side. The withdrawal bridge interface is currently under audit by the Pruvendo team. These changes are in Shellnet only, not in Mainnet.

• The circuit for layer hash movement, which proves that a block belongs to network history, was tested in an EVM test network. Based on the test results, the node-side logic for storing hash movement data needs additional refinement.

There are no Mainnet changes yet: integration testing is running on Shellnet

DODEX

For Dodex, we are continuing to develop the API and contract layer

• The orderbook API is complete.

• The first synchronous version of the API for order creation and cancellation has been prepared. But, based on market maker scenarios, we decided to move the order creation and cancellation API to an asynchronous model to make placing large numbers of orders easier. This is a WIP.

• The API for fetching a market maker's open orders is in progress.

• Contract fixes were made based on new test results.

Wallet

In wallet, we continue improving the user experience and adding developer tools.

• In the coming release Dev setting page is added

• When developer mode is enabled,

  • the Multifactor contract address, its DAPP ID, and the network switcher become visible.

  • users can see an option to send SHELL to a precomputed contract address for a future deployment; this option is hidden in the regular mode.

• The release is already available as an APK. App Store publication is coming, and Google Play publication will be later.

• Transaction history and SHELL sell order history display were fixed: the data no longer disappears in the scenarios reported by a user.

• Fixed an Android login issue for test wallets on Shellnet.

Popits

We are preparing Popits 3.0 for the new boosts season.

In the new season, users will be able to create AI tracks as Popits and receive boosts for them.

We are also preparing a NACKL mining scenario while listening to tracks from the bucket feed or minted Popcoins.

Documentation & Developer Experience

• A new developer documentation section on cryptography, mnemonic phrases, and keys was added: Mnemonics and Keys.

• A prominent SHELL purchase button was added to the developer portal documentation so users can find the token purchase flow more easily

Thanks to everyone who asks questions, reports issues, and helps make Acki Nacki clearer and more convenient for the community.

Update - 08.05.26

This week, the team made progress across several Acki Nacki workstreams: ecosystem integrations, DEX infrastructure, Bridge, SDK, and documentation.

Ecosystem

A PR has been opened to register Acki Nacki in the SLIP-0044 registry under number 1331. This is an important step toward deeper integration with wallet infrastructure and ecosystem tools. Support our PR 🚀 satoshilabs/slips#2016

State

Durable state (3/4) is in the final testing phase.

Bridge

This week, the Bridge team focused on reliable verification of Acki Nacki data from the EVM infrastructure side.

• The circuit for proving attestations in Acki Nacki block on the EVM network side has been successfully tested in an EVM testnet.

• Integration and testing are underway for the circuit that proves Layer Hashes movement. This mechanism confirms that a block belongs to the Acki Nacki network history.

Dodex

Dodex continues to expand the infrastructure needed by market makers and applications to work with the DEX effectively.

Completed

• Finalized the DEX API specification for market makers and web applications.

• Prepared a library for writing to the Orderbook, including order creation and cancellation.

• Implemented an API for retrieving the list of Prediction Markets.

In progress

• Orderbook read API

• Orderbook write API for market makers.

Documentation

In parallel, we continue improving the documentation so users, developers, and partners can better understand the ecosystem and complete key flows faster.

• Published a detailed overview of the network architecture and participant roles: Network Architecture and Participants.

• Updated the documentation for buying SHELL tokens to reflect the simplified user flow in shellbuy.ackinax.com: Purchase with crypto or card.

• Clarified the steps for obtaining app_dapp_id in the Bee Engine SDK integration documentation: Bee Engine SDK Integration Documentation.

Thank you to everyone following Acki Nacki's progress, supporting the team's initiatives, and helping move the ecosystem forward.
