### Description

This research will use the Carnot flexible design to make it collect more than 2/3rd of cryptographic proof of votes cast for a block.

* write a research log post
* desciption of the solution

* support by the DST team: [[ roadmap/vac/dst/dr-support/vac/carnot-2-3rds-executable-spec | carnot-2rds-executable-spec ]]

### Risks

Might slightly increase the protocol overhead. But we make sure this overhead is minimal.

### Justification


### Deliverables

*  [x] Presentation slides (logos research)
* Pseudocode (potentially paper in a future milestone)
* notion doc describing the solution
* research log post
* python code, support by the DST team [[ roadmap/vac/dst/dr-support/vac/carnot-2-3rds-executable-spec | carnot-2rds-executable-spec ]]
* RFC on rfc.vac.dev containing executable spec

Note: Need to be discussed: The Pseudocode can be completed earlier so that devs can began implementation, whereas the paper can be completed later.
