### High-level summary | ||
|
||
The last few weeks have seen a solid amount of work and changes to the | ||
user-facing side of Hydra; namely great progress on incremental commits and | ||
using Aiken for our commit validator which has [yielded size/cost | ||
savings](https://github.com/cardano-scaling/hydra/pull/1680#issue-2565734963). | ||
This has also allowed us to support PlutusV3 validators and keep up to date | ||
with the cardano-api. We also made a breaking change (improvement) to the | ||
server output `SnapshotConfirmed` to make it easier to work with signed | ||
snapshots. Finally, we made good progress on blockfrost support by adding an | ||
option to follow the chain via blockfrost, instead of through a cardano-node. | ||
Next up we continue our focus on incremental commits and general improvements, | ||
while planning the next release. | ||
|
