Impossibility within Dynamically Available Protocols

Duration: 00:14:07

Speaker: Yash Saraswat

Type: Lightning Talk

Expertise: Expert

Event: Devcon

Date: Nov 2024

This talk will be about dynamically available protocols and their properties. LMD-GHOST which is the fork choice rule for Ethereum consensus currently can face ex-ante and re-org attacks. GoldFish and other protocols aim to fix this but they themselves then face problems with asynchrony resilience and subcommittees. I also want to present possible solutions to these issues and establish some impossibility results that might be useful in consensus research for path towards single slot finality.
