@Kubuxu question for you - how would the application fetch the finality / get a signal from lotus that "we have reached finality for this epoch via 3"? Something new along with ChainHead (which only gives your the latest block w/o confirming it is finalized) ?

[Kubuxu]

I haven't thought about it a lot, but it seems reasonable, ChainGetFinalizedHead or something like that.
