ePrint Report: Recent Latest Message Driven GHOST: Balancing Dynamic Availability With Asynchrony Resilience

Francesco D'Amato, Luca Zanolini

Dynamic participation has recently become a key requirement to devise permissionless consensus protocols, as it adds a degree of robustness to events that include portions of participants going offline, preserving safety and liveness of such dynamically available protocols. This notion, formalized by Pass and Shi (ASIACRYPT 2017) with the sleepy model, has been implicitly adopted to model several blockchain protocols such as, for …
