• status: 20%
• CC: Moh

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

Risks

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

Justification

Deliverables

• 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
• 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.
