Changelog ​

A human-readable record of meaningful changes. We don't ceremony every commit here — only releases, breaking changes, and milestones a developer should know about.

The canonical machine record lives in the git history of github.com/prova-network. This page is curated.

Unreleased ​

Things landing on main but not yet tagged.

  • Docs: Filled in the missing README.md, reference/glossary.md, reference/errors.md, reference/changelog.md pages that SUMMARY.md linked to but that didn't exist on disk.
  • Docs: Linked the provers/hobby.md, provers/enterprise.md, provers/prosumer.md tier pages from SUMMARY.md so they're discoverable via the sidebar.
  • SDK: Continued the rename + port from upstream FilOzone/synapse-sdk.

2026-04-26 ​

The "real PDP, real stake math, real CI" day.

Contracts ​

  • Real PDP verifier landed. MockProofVerifier was replaced with the upstream FilOzone/pdp fork behind a UUPS proxy. The mock is still available as an opt-in (PROVA_USE_MOCK_VERIFIER=1) for fast smoke tests, but real PDP is the default.
  • Stake floor was wrong; fixed. The original 100 PROVA / GiB formula meant a 1 PB prover would have needed more than the entire token supply. Switched the unit to per-TiB, dropped the default to 0.1 PROVA / TiB, and added an IPriceOracle (Chainlink-compatible) so the USD-equivalent stake floor is enforced regardless of PROVA price. New scaling is sane: 100 TB needs 3,000 PROVA; 1 PB needs 30,720 PROVA; 100 PB needs ~3M PROVA.
  • Slashing burns PROVA. ProverStaking.slash() now calls ERC20Burnable.burn() directly. The deprecated slashedPool and withdrawSlashed are gone. Total supply visibly decreases on every slash.
  • ProverRewards is funded at deploy. Previously every claim() would have reverted because the rewards contract had a zero balance.
  • CEI reentrancy fix. Slither flagged a Checks-Effects-Interactions violation in possessionProven. Reordered to strict CEI; 0 slither findings on a clean run now.
  • CI pipeline. contracts-ci.yml runs forge build/test, gas snapshots, lcov coverage, and Slither static analysis with SARIF upload on every push. Currently fails on the GitHub runner with a Solidity compile error that doesn't repro locally — tracked as prova-network/contracts#1.
  • Anvil tests: 106/106 unit + 16/16 PROVA flow + 27/27 deep economics, all passing locally.

Brand ​

  • Dual-mode logo. prova-mark-light.svg (deeper teal) for white backgrounds and prova-mark-dark.svg (lighter teal) for dark backgrounds. READMEs use <picture media> so GitHub picks the right one automatically.

2026-04-25 ​

  • Internal security audit (16 findings). F-01 (account squat via signup with no email verify) and F-02 (no CSRF on token endpoints) are the critical/high items. Both still unfixed at time of writing; fix branch in progress.

2026-04-24 ​

  • The pivot. Prova v1 was a standalone L1 blockchain. v1 is dead. v2 is Ethereum-native verifiable storage: no separate chain, no native gas token, no bridge. PROVA stays an ERC-20 on Base forever. All staking, marketplace, and dispute resolution live in Solidity contracts on Ethereum. Storage and proofs live off-chain in the Prova network. See PIVOT.md and PROVA-V2-ARCHITECTURE.md in the umbrella repo for the full reasoning.
  • Tokenomics v2. Killed the May 2026 ICO. New playbook: build → earn points → launch with usage. Storage rewards 40%, points conversion 15%, team 20% (50/50 between the two cofounders, 12-month cliff, 36-month linear vest), ecosystem 10%, strategic 5%, liquidity 5%, treasury 5%. See TOKENOMICS-v2.md.

Earlier ​

The pre-pivot history (v1 L1 chain) is tagged at v0.2-l1-snapshot and archived on the archive/v1-l1-chain branch in the umbrella repo. Most of that code is preserved (the PDP, CommP, and storage primitives transferred forward); the chain machinery was cut.

How to read this ​

  • Date headings are days when something user-visible shipped to a public branch.
  • "Unreleased" is a rolling section of main since the last public deployment.
  • Version tags will appear here once we cut the first real release tag (planned around the Base Sepolia deploy).

If a change is missing that should be here, open an issue at github.com/prova-network/docs and we'll add it.
