Plasma Details Torch Validator Handover Mechanism Built on Fast-HotStuff
- —Torch is built on the Fast-HotStuff consensus protocol
- —Handover requires no overlapping members between adjacent committees
- —Block production continues during handover, but message overhead increases
- —Dynamic epoch boundaries are not yet released; work is under peer review
Why it matters: Faster, simpler validator rotation matters for Plasma's scalability and decentralization, but the design is not yet finalized.
