+## High level overview
+
+This week, the Mithril team released a new [`Mithril distribution 2412.0`](https://github.com/input-output-hk/mithril/releases/tag/2412.0). This release includes several critical updates and enhancements, such as support for the Prometheus metrics endpoint in signer, deprecation of the `snapshot` command in the client CLI, full Pallas-based implementation of the chain observer, and support for Cardano node v.8.9.0. 
+
+The team continued implementing the certification of Cardano transactions in Mithril networks. They focused on scaling the signature and proof generation for `mainnet`, kept implementing a more versatile beaconing mechanism, reducing the latency of transactions signature, and continued investigating a bug in the block parser that prevents some Conway transactions from being signed. Additionally, they started working on a prototype to decentralize signer registration with the relay and a peer-to-peer (P2P) network.
+
+Finally, the team completed the implementation of some community-requested features to verify the output folder structure made by the client, and kept investigating a source of flakiness in the CI end-to-end test.
