Track the most recently active validators and sample the superblock committee from them #2448

Open drcpu-github opened 6 months ago

drcpu-github commented 6 months ago

This PR will allow to select a number of superblock voters from the set of recently active validators. Note that this may require a bootstrap committee when we switch to PoS since there will possibly be very few active validators at that time.

IMHO, this is one of the many small things that is required to strengthen wit/2 against griefing attacks. I'm by no means saying the implementation is the best approach, but the concept is definitely needed.
