Editorial WG Mtg - 6 Apr

CASA Editorial 6 April

PRs to move to close

• Decouple CAIP-27 from CAIP-25 and introduce CAIP-217 for Authorization Scopes 217 (also below in RPC WG) status:
  • One more approval from Hassan to push this forward.
  • CAIP-25 - the basic design keeps changing, so it's still subject to change. Merging this would update what's on the CAIP page. This keeps the CAIP up to date.
  • Scope authorizations to be broken into 217, other idea was how to rename the chains array to call them sub-scopes so that if you had identical authorizations for EVM chains, you could define each chain as a sep object.
  • Next step: Hassan needs to be pinged for review, and should have it done by Sunday.
• Solana fixes caip10/2 61 status:
  • Merged.

Ongoing projects/topics

• Chainproofs 218 status:
  • Updates on the to-dos to find out when it'll be ready for more formal review. Items like multidid merged, so next steps is addressing to-dos.
  • Move to draft-PR in order to note additional time before assigning reviewers.
• Block addressing model 220 status:
  • There are some use-cases people have asked for like having a CAIP URN scheme for addressing block metadata and transaction metadata across chain. ISCC is one of them - it's a way to register hashes on multiple blockchains. In Bitcoin they do it in block header space, ETH space is arbitrary transaction data, etc.
  • This is just a very basic CAIP on how those properties are named and formalizing it.
  • Want a strawman for people to improve, relevant reviewers have been tagged.
• Transaction object addressing 221 status:
  • There was talk of leaving transaction object addressing out of the block explorer CAIP and potentially opening up a new CAIP for it. This is that CAIP.
  • Additional strawman, Ligi added for review.
• Added OpenRPC doc for CAIP-25 212 status:
  • Captured in the RPC minutes - will be bumped to include the new property namess once 217 is merged.
  • This will be merged once 217 is merged (blocker). Will ping Juan and Hassan once ready.
• Block explorer routes 200 status:
  • Waiting on review from Ligi

WGs

• RPC WG
  • Decouple CAIP-27 from 25, and introduce 217 for auth scopes [217] (Decouple CAIP-27 from CAIP-25 and introduce CAIP-217 for Authorization Scopes CAIPs#217) -- (see above)
• AuthZ WG
  • CACAOv3 / varsig / multidid status: varsig looks g2g?
    • Chunningham (spruce) to give a quick review on the first version PR in varsig.
    • Get quick update from Joel on CACAOv3 (any movement on UCAN updates)
• Namespaces
  • (housekeeping)

Backlog / Housekeeping

• Need teams per repo with merging rights
  • Chain Agnostic GitHub team can now merge on namespaces and CAIPs and merge rules will require two approvals.
• Trustmark
  • Devise plan for Trustmark usage - conformance tools, auditing tools, etc. Trustmark can use Git - repo can just be hosted to house a registry of 'CASA Fresh' implementations.
  • Investigate: publish JSON files as static URL (audited / approved implementations that get updated via CI).
  • Potential grant: implement a package or crate with a validator for CAIPs (conformance suite) and put yourself in the registry for a sample implementation. (CAIP-10, CAIP-19, CAIP-2 are a good starting points: config file saying which namespaces you want to support and in the library, should consume the spec's regex and say yep or no). (CAIPFORMANCE SUITE), and after we can do a SIWX detection.
    • Would be a good way to bolster CASA (SIWE folks interested in a badge of honor)
• Cleaning house
  • Rocco beginning to auto-close
  • Ligi - stalebot status
• Next Gathering
  • Potentially ETHCC (July), Potentially Devconnect (TBD)
