Frosty for partial synchrony

Published 11 Jun 2025 in cs.DC | (2506.09823v1)

Abstract: Snowman is the consensus protocol used by blockchains on Avalanche. Recent work has shown both how to augment Snowman with a liveness' module calledFrosty' that protects against liveness attacks, and also how to modify Snowman so as to be consistent in partial synchrony. Since Frosty assumes (a strong form of) synchrony, the aim of this note is to show how to modify Frosty to deal with the partially synchronous version of Snowman.
