⭐️ Highlights ⭐️

Unsealing bugfixes and enhancements

This feature release introduces significant improvements and bugfixes with regards to unsealing, and ensures that unsealing operates as one would expect. Consequently, unsealing of all sector types (deal sectors, snap-sectors without sector keys, and snap-sectors with sector keys) now all function seamlessly.

Some additional unsealing improvements are:

  • Unsealing on workers with only sealing paths works. 🎉
  • Transferring unsealed files to long-term storage upon successful unsealing. ➡️
  • Ensuring no residual files in sealing paths post a successful unsealing operation. 🧹

SupraSeal C2

Lotus-workers can now be built to leverage the SupraSeal C2 sealing optimizations in your sealing pipeline. The code optimizations are currently behind the FFI_USE_CUDA_SUPRASEAL feature flag. We advice users to test this feature on a test-network, before trying to use it on the mainnet. Users can test out the feature by building their lotus-workers by exporting the FFI_USE_CUDA_SUPRASEAL=1 enviroment variable, and building from source. For questions about the SupraSeal C2 sealing optimizations, reach out in the #fil-proofs or the #dsa-sealing slack channel.
