• npm package initial version out (branch contract-call-decoder)
  • Let Kris from eth-sdk know about it. He'll take a look
• Hardhat will output metadata in the upcoming version by default. We can use only the build-info output file for verification as it contains the Source code too.
  • Should we work on it this week?
• Gather down twice
• Second RPC of networks was not getting called. I.e. when gather is down, it is not falling back to Alchemy. Pushed a fix
• @ligi requested the Sourcify repo to be pinned on Hetzner https://github.com/ethereum/devops/issues/829 Hetzner has unlimited network + we can use https://ipfs.ethdevops.io/ directly as the gateway
• Erigon meeting Wednesday 4pm

What's next

• Hardhat support?
• Now that the npm package is out, I want to create a simple UI for decoding the bytecode to metadata IPFS hash. Etherscan contract page has IPFS hash but it is not decoded correctly. Will create a Twitter thread like "Nobody realized Etherscan show incorrect info?". Then people can copy the raw bytecode to get the ipfs hash and a link to it. Goals: promote metadata, Sourcify, and the contract-call-decoder package.
  • Should I host it under sourcify.dev (e.g. metadata.sourcify.dev) or somewhere else?
• "Verifying Optimism contracts in one go?" @chriseth
• @ogwurujohnson on "View in Remix" feature

Hey just as a side comment, I think it would really help if we would do bullet point style outcomes / what has been decided in meetings in this issue as well. Otherwise it's very hard to follow if you miss a meeting..
