Description
Genesis consensus mode is a new feature planned to begin from the Conway era. It's goal is the ensure that a bootstrapping node ends up on a good chain if the node talks to at least one honest peer. In a decentralized environment, big ledger peers are a proxy for honest actors. To enable connections to these peers that may not be yet available to the node based on its ledger state, a snapshot of these peers can be made available to the networking layer. New functionality is required to leverage this data:
- [ ] New consensus mode (Genesis)
- [ ] Support for serialization
- [ ] Changes to ledgerPeersProvider to pick and distribute peers from the snapshot to client code
- [ ] Exposing means of calculating big ledger peers to ouroboros-networking-api
- [ ] Tests
