• 8/4 Fri: Slashing article with:
• Internal approval from all Protocol team members (6+)
• Community approval
• Implementation details

• 7/24 Mon - 7/28 Fri: Out of office

• Slashing implementation and production launch
• 8/25 Fri: Localnet
• 9/1 Fri: Devnet

• AI cloud cost. Only $1000 total.

• Resource profiling on mainnet nodes for optimizing BLS signature aggregation (determining if CPU bound on 1 thread, or parallelizable to 4 cores)

• Change block finalization during consensus from 99% signature collection to 80% (using uncle blocks for validator rewards)

• Reuse components from HotStuff (semi-synchronous consensus and aggressive pipelining like RapidChain), already implemented in Aptos and Sui; as well as larger deploys in Binance Smart Chain (100 nodes) and Cosmos chains (300 nodes)
