Consensus and Network Security Enhancements

This release focuses on critical updates to the consensus mechanism and network protocol, improving validator security, network resilience, and data integrity.

Key Changes:

  • Validator Tiering and Scoring: Implemented a new ValidatorTier system with a weighted scoring algorithm to categorize validators based on performance. This promotes network health by rewarding reliable participation and establishing a transparent reward structure with new constants for BASE_APY and tier-specific multipliers.
  • libp2p and Velocity Protocol: Refactored the network layer to use libp2p for a more robust peer-to-peer framework. This integrates the Velocity protocol, which ensures data integrity and reliable synchronization.
  • Concurrency Control: A ValidationPool with a Semaphore has been added to limit parallel block validations, enhancing node stability and mitigating resource exhaustion attacks.
  • Protocol Expansion: The Network has been expanded to support the new data integrity and recovery mechanisms.
