Only a handful of new blockchains are widely integrated each year, often with only minimal support (just transfers).

In each round of consensus, Tempo validators emit a set of BLS12-381 threshold signatures that can be verified against a static network key (maintained across validator set changes) 🔐 https://twitter.com/tempo/status/1998407701366505710 (https://twitter.com/tempo/status/1998407701366505710) The first of these signatures provides an embedded VRF. It powers just-in-time leader election (no one knows who the next leader will be until the previous round is notarized/nullified) and provides onchain randomness (for blind auctions backed by Timelock Encryption). (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G7v7vnEbIAAdDLS.jpg) The second of these signatures is over the block (attesting to its finalization in ~48B). This "certificate" can be used by users to verify the validity of chain data provided by RPCs and to drive interop with other chains (just verify a proof against the static network key).

The papers I’ve read recently uniformly assume messages will eventually be delivered but never dropped (unlike a real-world setting over a WAN with periodically rebooting nodes) and leave it as an exercise to the reader to craft sound mechanisms to recover from “inevitable gaps”. While the proofs might be near impossible to write, curious if there isn’t more peer-reviewed work on balancing robustness vs bandwidth/efficiency at different message failure rates or in different recovery scenarios.

Today, we are taking the first step towards launching the Commonware Framework. p2p, our first primitive, is now available (in ALPHA) under both Apache-2 and MIT: docs.rs/commonware-p2p (https://docs.rs/commonware-p2p) Read 4 tweets (javascript:void(0)) link#goto" > twitter-profile#error" > patrickogrady.xyz (/user/_patrickogrady) @_patrickogrady (/user/_patrickogrady) Jun 25, 2024 Is it possible to make a large (> 500 validators) and robust (liveness and safety up to f < n/3 byzantine faults) blockchain snappy (~1s finality)? 1/ Over the last few months, @stephenbuttolph and I explored this question. (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GQ7S_OkbwAQVRtw.png) 2/ After many rounds of iteration (i.e. Stephen poking holes in my ideas), we arrived at Vena. Vena drives finality at network speed, provides strong liveness guarantees, and natively outputs confirmation artifacts (aggregate signature for each block) over large validator sets.
