+then about 1000 lines of changes is about the most you should ask a Solana
+maintainer to review.
 
 ### Should I send small PRs as I develop large, new components?
 
-Add only code to the codebase that is ready to be deployed. If you are building a large
-library, consider developing it in a separate git repository. When it is ready to be
-integrated, the Solana maintainers will work with you to decide on a path forward. Smaller
-libraries may be copied in whereas very large ones may be pulled in with a package manager.

+
+## Getting Pull Requests Merged
+
+There is no single person assigned to watching GitHub PR queue and ushering you
+through the process. Typically, you will ask the person that wrote a component
+to review changes to it. You can find the author using `git blame` or asking on
+Discord.  When working to get your PR merged, it's most important to understand
+that changing the code is your priority and not necessarily a priority of the
+person you need an approval from. Also, while you may interact the most with
+the component author, you should aim to be inclusive of others. Providing a
+detailed problem description is the most effective means of engaging both the
+component author and other potentially interested parties.
+
+Consider opening all PRs as Draft Pull Requests first. Using a draft PR allows
+you to kickstart the CI automation, which typically takes between 10 and 30
+minutes to execute. Use that time to write a detailed problem description. Once
+the description is written and CI succeeds, click the "Ready to Review" button
+and add reviewers. Adding reviewers before CI succeeds is a fast path to losing
+reviewer engagement. Not only will they be notified and see the PR is not yet
+ready for them, they will also be bombarded them with additional notifications
+each time you push a commit to get past CI or until they "mute" the PR. Once
+muted, you'll need to reach out over some other medium, such as Discord, to
+request they have another look. When you use draft PRs, no notifications are
+sent when you push commits and edit the PR description. Use draft PRs
+liberally.  Don't bug the humans until you have gotten past the bots.
+
+### What should be in my PR description?
+
+Reviewing code is hard work and generally involves an attempt to guess the
+author's intent at various levels. Please assume reviewer time is scarce and do
+what you can to make your PR as consumable as possible. Inspired by techniques
+for writing good whitepapers, the guidance here aims to maximize reviewer
+engagement.
+
+Assume the reviewer will spend no more than a few seconds reading the PR title.
+If it doesn't describe a noteworthy change, don't expect the reviewer to click
+to see more.
+
+Next, like the abstract of a whitepaper, the reviewer will spend ~30 seconds
+reading the PR problem description. If what is described there doesn't look
+more important than competing issues, don't expect the reviewer to read on.
+
+Next, the reviewer will read the proposed changes. At this point, the reviewer
+needs to be convinced the proposed changes are a *good* solution to the problem
+described above.  If the proposed changes, not the code changes, generates
+discussion, consider closing the PR and returning with a design proposal
+instead.
+
+Finally, once the reviewer understands the problem and agrees with the approach
+to solving it, the reviewer will view the code changes. At this point, the
+reviewer is simply looking to see if the implementation actually implements
+what was proposed and if that implementation is maintainable. When a concise,
+readable test for each new code path is present, the reviewer can safely ignore
+the details of its implementation. When those tests are missing, expect to
+either lose engagement or get a pile of review comments as the reviewer
+attempts to consider every ambiguity in your implementation.
+
+### The PR Title
+
+The PR title should contain a brief summary of the change, from the perspective
+of the user. Examples of good titles:
+
+* Add rent to accounts
+* Fix out-of-memory error in validator
+* Clean up `process_message()` in runtime
+
+The conventions here are all the same as a good git commit title:
+
+* First word capitalized and in the imperative mood, not past tense ("add", not
+  "added")
+* No trailing period
+* What was done, whom it was done to, and in what context
+
+### The PR Problem Statement
+
+The git repo implements a product with various features. The problem statement
+should describe how the product is missing a feature, how a feature is
+incomplete, or how the implementation of a feature is somehow undesirable. If
+an issue being fixed already describes the problem, go ahead and copy-paste it.
+As mentioned above, reviewer time is scarce. Given a queue of PRs to review,
+the reviewer may ignore PRs that expect them to click through links to see if
+the PR warrants attention.
+
+### The Proposed Changes
+
+Typically the content under the "Proposed changes" section will be a bulleted
+list of steps taken to solve the problem. Oftentimes, the list is identical to
+the subject lines of the git commits contained in the PR. It's especially
+generous (and not expected) to rebase or reword commits such that each change
+matches the logical flow in your PR description.

+
+After a reviewer provides feedback, you can quickly say "acknowledged, will
+fix" using a thumb's up emoji. If you're confident your fix is exactly as
+prescribed, add a reply "Fixed in COMMIT\_HASH" and mark the comment as
+resolved. If you're not sure, reply "Is this what you had in mind?
+COMMIT\_HASH" and if so, the reviewer will reply and mark the conversation as
+resolved. Marking conversations as resolved is an excellent way to engage more
+reviewers. Leaving conversations open may imply the PR is not yet ready for
+additional review.
+
+### When will my PR be re-reviewed?
+
+Recall that once your PR is opened, a notification is sent every time you push
+a commit.  After a reviewer adds feedback, they won't be checking on the status
+of that feedback after every new commit. Instead, directly mention the reviewer
+when you feel your PR is ready for another pass.

+Release Binaries
 ===
+Official release binaries are available at [Github Releases](https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/releases).
 
-It's possible for a centralized database to process 710,000 transactions per second on a standard gigabit network if the transactions are, on average, no more than 176 bytes. A centralized database can also replicate itself and maintain high availability without significantly compromising that transaction rate using the distributed system technique known as Optimistic Concurrency Control [\[H.T.Kung, J.T.Robinson (1981)\]](http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.65.4735). At Solana, we're demonstrating that these same theoretical limits apply just as well to blockchain on an adversarial network. The key ingredient? Finding a way to share time when nodes can't trust one-another. Once nodes can trust time, suddenly ~40 years of distributed systems research becomes applicable to blockchain!
+Additionally we provide pre-release binaries for the latest code on the edge and
+beta channels.  Note that these pre-release binaries may be less stable than an
+official release.
 
-> Perhaps the most striking difference between algorithms obtained by our method and ones based upon timeout is that using timeout produces a traditional distributed algorithm in which the processes operate asynchronously, while our method produces a globally synchronous one in which every process does the same thing at (approximately) the same time. Our method seems to contradict the whole purpose of distributed processing, which is to permit different processes to operate independently and perform different functions. However, if a distributed system is really a single system, then the processes must be synchronized in some way. Conceptually, the easiest way to synchronize processes is to get them all to do the same thing at the same time. Therefore, our method is used to implement a kernel that performs the necessary synchronization--for example, making sure that two different processes do not try to modify a file at the same time. Processes might spend only a small fraction of their time executing the synchronizing kernel; the rest of the time, they can operate independently--e.g., accessing different files. This is an approach we have advocated even when fault-tolerance is not required. The method's basic simplicity makes it easier to understand the precise properties of a system, which is crucial if one is to know just how fault-tolerant the system is.

-Furthermore, and much to our surprise, it can be implemented using a mechanism that has existed in Bitcoin since day one. The Bitcoin feature is called nLocktime and it can be used to postdate transactions using block height instead of a timestamp. As a Bitcoin client, you'd use block height instead of a timestamp if you don't trust the network. Block height turns out to be an instance of what's being called a Verifiable Delay Function in cryptography circles. It's a cryptographically secure way to say time has passed. In Solana, we use a far more granular verifiable delay function, a SHA 256 hash chain, to checkpoint the ledger and coordinate consensus. With it, we implement Optimistic Concurrency Control and are now well en route towards that theoretical limit of 710,000 transactions per second.

+## Steps to Create a Branch
 
-### Changing channels
-
-#### Create the new branch
-1. Pick your branch point for release on master.
-1. Create the branch.  The name should be "v" + the first 2 "version" fields
+### Create the new branch
+1. Check out the latest commit on `master` branch:
+    ```
+    git fetch --all
+    git checkout upstream/master
+    ```
+1. Determine the new branch name.  The name should be "v" + the first 2 version fields
    from Cargo.toml.  For example, a Cargo.toml with version = "0.9.0" implies
    the next branch name is "v0.9".
-    1.  Note the Cargo.toml in the repo root directory does not contain a version.  Look at any other Cargo.toml file.
-1. Create a new branch and push this branch to the solana repository.
-    1. `git checkout -b <branchname>`
-    1. `git push -u origin <branchname>`
+1. Create the new branch and push this branch to the `solana` repository:
+    ```
+    git checkout -b <branchname>
+    git push -u origin <branchname>
+    ```
 
-#### Update master with the next version
+### Update master branch with the next version
 
-1. After the new branch has been created and pushed, update Cargo.toml on **master** to the next semantic version (e.g. 0.9.0 -> 0.10.0)
-   by running `./scripts/increment-cargo-version.sh`, then rebuild with
-   `cargo build` to cause a refresh of `Cargo.lock`.
-1. Push your Cargo.toml change and the autogenerated Cargo.lock changes to the
-   master branch

+     ```
+1. Rebuild to get an updated version of `Cargo.lock`:
+    ```
+    cargo build
+    ```
+1. Push all the changed Cargo.toml and Cargo.lock files to the `master` branch with something like:
+    ```

-
-1. Go [there ;)](https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/releases).
+1. Go to [GitHub's Releases UI](https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/releases) for tagging a release.

+   field in `/Cargo.toml` prefixed by `v`.
    1.  If the Cargo.toml verion field is **0.12.3**, then the release tag must be **v0.12.3**
+1. Make sure the Target Branch field matches the branch you want to make a release on.
+   1.  If you want to release v0.12.0, the target branch must be v0.12
 1. If this is the first release on the branch (e.g. v0.13.**0**), paste in [this
-   template](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/solana-labs/solana/master/.github/RELEASE_TEMPLATE.md)
-   and fill it in.
-1. Test the release by generating a tag using semver's rules.  First try at a
-   release should be `<branchname>.X-rc.0`.
-1. Verify release automation:
-   1. [Crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/solana) should have an updated Solana version.
-   1. ...
-1. After testnet deployment, verify that testnets are running correct software.
-   http://metrics.solana.com should show testnet running on a hash from your
-   newly created branch.
-1. Once the release has been made, update Cargo.toml on the release branch to the next

+1. Click "Save Draft", then confirm the release notes look good and the tag name and branch are correct.  Go back into edit the release and click "Publish release" when ready.
+
+### Update release branch with the next patch version
+
+1. After the new release has been tagged, update the Cargo.toml files on **release branch** to the next semantic version (e.g. 0.9.0 -> 0.9.1) with:
+     ```
+     scripts/increment-cargo-version.sh patch
+     ```
+1. Rebuild to get an updated version of `Cargo.lock`:
+    ```
+    cargo build
+    ```
+1. Push all the changed Cargo.toml and Cargo.lock files to the **release branch** with something like:
+    ```

+### Verify release automation success
+1. Go to [Solana Releases](https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/releases) and click on the latest release that you just published.  Verify that all of the build artifacts are present.  This can take up to 90 minutes after creating the tag.
+1. The `solana-secondary` Buildkite pipeline handles creating the binary tarballs and updated crates.  Look for a job under the tag name of the release: https://buildkite.com/solana-labs/solana-secondary
+1. [Crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/solana) should have an updated Solana version.
+
+### Update documentation
+TODO: Documentation update procedure is WIP as we move to gitbook
+
+Document the new recommended version by updating `docs/src/running-archiver.md` and `docs/src/validator-testnet.md` on the release (beta) branch to point at the `solana-install` for the upcoming release version.
+
+### Update software on devnet.solana.com
+
+The testnet running on devnet.solana.com is set to use a fixed release tag
+which is set in the Buildkite testnet-management pipeline.
+This tag needs to be updated and the testnet restarted after a new release
+tag is created.
+
+#### Update testnet schedules
+
+Go to https://buildkite.com/solana-labs and click through: Pipelines ->
+testnet-management -> Pipeline Settings -> Schedules
+Or just click here:
+https://buildkite.com/solana-labs/testnet-management/settings/schedules
+
+There are two scheduled jobs for testnet: a daily restart and an hourly sanity-or-restart. \
+https://buildkite.com/solana-labs/testnet-management/settings/schedules/0efd7856-7143-4713-8817-47e6bdb05387
+https://buildkite.com/solana-labs/testnet-management/settings/schedules/2a926646-d972-42b5-aeb9-bb6759592a53
+
+On each schedule:
+1.  Set TESTNET_TAG environment variable to the desired release tag.
+    1. Example, TESTNET_TAG=v0.13.2
+1.  Set the Build Branch to the branch that TESTNET_TAG is from.
+    1. Example: v0.13
+
+#### Restart the testnet
+
+Trigger a TESTNET_OP=create-and-start to refresh the cluster with the new version
+
+1.  Go to https://buildkite.com/solana-labs/testnet-management
+2.  Click "New Build" and use the following settings, then click "Create Build"
+    1.  Commit: HEAD
+    1.  Branch: [channel branch as set in the schedules]
+    1.  Environment Variables:
+```
+TESTNET=testnet
+TESTNET_TAG=[same value as used in TESTNET_TAG in the schedules]
+TESTNET_OP=create-and-start
+```
+
+### Alert the community
+
+Notify Discord users on #validator-support that a new release for
+devnet.solana.com is available

+## Overview
+
+An exchange is a marketplace where one asset can be traded for another.  This
+demo demonstrates one way to host an exchange on the Solana blockchain by
+emulating a currency exchange.
+
+The assets are virtual tokens held by investors who may post order requests to
+the exchange.  A Matcher monitors the exchange and posts swap requests for
+matching orders.  All the transactions can execute concurrently.
+
+## Premise
+
+- Exchange
+  -  An exchange is a marketplace where one asset can be traded for another.
+     The exchange in this demo is the on-chain program that implements the
+     tokens and the policies for trading those tokens.
+- Token
+  - A virtual asset that can be owned, traded, and holds virtual intrinsic value
+    compared to other assets.  There are four types of tokens in this demo, A,
+    B, C, D.  Each one may be traded for another.
+- Token account
+  - An account owned by the exchange that holds a quantity of one type of token.
+- Account request
+  - A request to create a token account
+- Token request
+  - A request to deposit tokens of a particular type into a token account.
+- Asset pair
+  - A struct with fields Base and Quote, representing the two assets which make up a 
+    trading pair,  which themselves are Tokens. The Base or 'primary' asset is the
+    numerator and the Quote is the denominator for pricing purposes.
+- Order side
+  - Describes which side of the market an investor wants to place a trade on. Options
+    are "Bid" or "Ask", where a bid represents an offer to purchase the Base asset of
+    the AssetPair for a sum of the Quote Asset and an Ask is an offer to sell Base asset
+    for the Quote asset.
+- Price ratio
+  -  An expression of the relative prices of two tokens. Calculated with the Base
+     Asset as the numerator and the Quote Asset as the denominator. Ratios are 
+     represented as fixed point numbers.  The fixed point scaler is defined in
+     [exchange_state.rs](https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/blob/c2fdd1362a029dcf89c8907c562d2079d977df11/programs/exchange_api/src/exchange_state.rs#L7)
+- Order request
+  - A Solana transaction sent by a trader to the exchange to submit an order. 
+    Order requests are made up of the token pair, the order side (bid or ask),
+    quantity of the primary token, the price ratio, and the two token accounts
+    to be credited/deducted.  An example trade request looks like "T AB 5 2" 
+    which reads "Exchange 5 A tokens to B tokens at a price ratio of 1:2"  A fulfilled trade would result in 5 A tokens
+    deducted and 10 B tokens credited to the trade initiator's token accounts.
+    Successful order requests result in an order.
+- Order
+  - The result of a successful order request.  orders are stored in
+    accounts owned by the submitter of the order request.  They can only be
+    canceled by their owner but can be used by anyone in a trade swap.  They
+    contain the same information as the order request.
+- Price spread
+  - The difference between the two matching orders. The spread is the
+    profit of the Matcher initiating the swap request.
+- Match requirements
+  - Policies that result in a successful trade swap.
+- Match request
+  - A request to fill two complementary orders (bid/ask), resulting if successful,
+    in a trade being created.
+- Trade
+  - A successful trade is created from two matching orders that meet
+    swap requirements which are submitted in a Match Request by a Matcher and
+    executed by the exchange. A trade may not wholly satisfy one or both of the
+    orders in which case the orders are adjusted appropriately. Upon execution,
+    tokens are distributed to the traders' accounts and any overlap or 
+    "negative spread" between orders is deposited into the Matcher's profit
+    account.  All successful trades are recorded in the data of a new solana 
+    account for posterity.
+- Investor
+  - Individual investors who hold a number of tokens and wish to trade them on
+    the exchange.  Investors operate as Solana thin clients who own a set of
+    accounts containing tokens and/or order requests.  Investors post
+    transactions to the exchange in order to request tokens and post or cancel
+    order requests.
+- Matcher
+  - An agent who facilitates trading between investors.  Matchers operate as
+    Solana thin clients who monitor all the orders looking for a trade
+    match.  Once found, the Matcher issues a swap request to the exchange.
+    Matchers are the engine of the exchange and are rewarded for their efforts by
+    accumulating the price spreads of the swaps they initiate.  Matchers also
+    provide current bid/ask price and OHLCV (Open, High, Low, Close, Volume)
+    information on demand via a public network port.
+- Transaction fees
+  - Solana transaction fees are paid for by the transaction submitters who are
+    the Investors and Matchers.
+
+## Exchange startup
+
+The exchange is up and running when it reaches a state where it can take
+investors' trades and Matchers' match requests.  To achieve this state the
+following must occur in order:
+
+- Start the Solana blockchain
+- Start the  thin-client
+- The Matcher subscribes to change notifications for all the accounts owned by
+  the exchange program id.  The subscription is managed via Solana's JSON RPC
+  interface.
+- The Matcher starts responding to queries for bid/ask price and OHLCV
+
+The Matcher responding successfully to price and OHLCV requests is the signal to
+the investors that trades submitted after that point will be analyzed.  <!--This
+is not ideal, and instead investors should be able to submit trades at any time,
+and the Matcher could come and go without missing a trade.  One way to achieve
+this is for the Matcher to read the current state of all accounts looking for all
+open orders.-->
+
+Investors will initially query the exchange to discover their current balance
+for each type of token.  If the investor does not already have an account for
+each type of token, they will submit account requests.  Matcher as well will
+request accounts to hold the tokens they earn by initiating trade swaps.
+
+```rust
+/// Supported token types
+pub enum Token {
+    A,
+    B,
+    C,
+    D,
+}
+
+/// Supported token pairs
+pub enum TokenPair {
+    AB,
+    AC,
+    AD,
+    BC,
+    BD,
+    CD,
+}
+
+pub enum ExchangeInstruction {
+    /// New token account
+    /// key 0 - Signer
+    /// key 1 - New token account
+    AccountRequest,
+}
+
+/// Token accounts are populated with this structure
+pub struct TokenAccountInfo {
+    /// Investor who owns this account
+    pub owner: Pubkey,
+    /// Current number of tokens this account holds
+    pub tokens: Tokens,
+}
+```
+
+For this demo investors or Matcher can request more tokens from the exchange at
+any time by submitting token requests. In non-demos, an exchange of this type
+would provide another way to exchange a 3rd party asset into tokens.
+
+To request tokens, investors submit transfer requests:
+
+```rust
+pub enum ExchangeInstruction {
+    /// Transfer tokens between two accounts
+    /// key 0 - Account to transfer tokens to
+    /// key 1 - Account to transfer tokens from.  This can be the exchange program itself,
+    ///         the exchange has a limitless number of tokens it can transfer.
+    TransferRequest(Token, u64),
+}
+```
+
+## Order Requests
+
+When an investor decides to exchange a token of one type for another, they
+submit a transaction to the Solana Blockchain containing an order request, which,
+if successful, is turned into an order.  orders do not expire but are
+cancellable. <!-- orders should have a timestamp to enable trade
+expiration -->  When an order is created, tokens are deducted from a token
+account and the order acts as an escrow.  The tokens are held until the
+order is fulfilled or canceled. If the direction is `To`, then the number
+of `tokens` are deducted from the primary account, if `From` then `tokens`
+multiplied by `price` are deducted from the secondary account.  orders are
+no longer valid when the number of `tokens` goes to zero, at which point they
+can no longer be used. <!-- Could support refilling orders, so order
+accounts are refilled rather than accumulating -->
+
+```rust
+/// Direction of the exchange between two tokens in a pair
+pub enum Direction {
+    /// Trade first token type (primary) in the pair 'To' the second
+    To,
+    /// Trade first token type in the pair 'From' the second (secondary)
+    From,
+}
+
+pub struct OrderRequestInfo {
+    /// Direction of trade
+    pub direction: Direction,
+
+    /// Token pair to trade
+    pub pair: TokenPair,
+
+    /// Number of tokens to exchange; refers to the primary or the secondary depending on the direction
+    pub tokens: u64,
+
+    /// The price ratio the primary price over the secondary price.  The primary price is fixed
+    /// and equal to the variable `SCALER`.
+    pub price: u64,
+
+    /// Token account to deposit tokens on successful swap
+    pub dst_account: Pubkey,
+}
+
+pub enum ExchangeInstruction {
+    /// order request
+    /// key 0 - Signer
+    /// key 1 - Account in which to record the swap
+    /// key 2 - Token account associated with this trade
+    TradeRequest(TradeRequestInfo),
+}
+
+/// Trade accounts are populated with this structure
+pub struct TradeOrderInfo {
+    /// Owner of the order
+    pub owner: Pubkey,
+    /// Direction of the exchange
+    pub direction: Direction,
+    /// Token pair indicating two tokens to exchange, first is primary
+    pub pair: TokenPair,
+    /// Number of tokens to exchange; primary or secondary depending on direction
+    pub tokens: u64,
+    /// Scaled price of the secondary token given the primary is equal to the scale value
+    /// If scale is 1 and price is 2 then ratio is 1:2 or 1 primary token for 2 secondary tokens
+    pub price: u64,
+    /// account which the tokens were source from.  The trade account holds the tokens in escrow
+    /// until either one or more part of a swap or the trade is canceled.
+    pub src_account: Pubkey,
+    /// account which the tokens the tokens will be deposited into on a successful trade
+    pub dst_account: Pubkey,
+}
+```
+
+## Order cancellations
+
+An investor may cancel a trade at anytime, but only trades they own.  If the
+cancellation is successful, any tokens held in escrow are returned to the
+account from which they came.
+
+```rust
+pub enum ExchangeInstruction {
+    /// order cancellation
+    /// key 0 - Signer
+    /// key 1 -order to cancel
+    TradeCancellation,
+}
+```
+
+## Trade swaps
+
+The Matcher is monitoring the accounts assigned to the exchange program and
+building a trade-order table.  The order table is used to identify
+matching orders which could be fulfilled.  When a match is found the
+Matcher should issue a swap request.  Swap requests may not satisfy the entirety
+of either order, but the exchange will greedily fulfill it.  Any leftover tokens
+in either account will keep the order valid for further swap requests in
+the future.
+
+Matching orders are defined by the following swap requirements:
+
+- Opposite polarity (one `To` and one `From`)
+- Operate on the same token pair
+- The price ratio of the `From` order is greater than or equal to the `To` order
+- There are sufficient tokens to perform the trade
+
+Orders can be written in the following format:
+
+`investor direction pair quantity price-ratio`
+
+For example:
+
+- `1 T AB 2 1`
+  - Investor 1 wishes to exchange 2 A tokens to B tokens at a ratio of 1 A to 1
+    B
+- `2 F AC 6 1.2`
+  - Investor 2 wishes to exchange A tokens from 6 B tokens at a ratio of 1 A
+    from 1.2 B
+
+An order table could look something like the following. Notice how the columns
+are sorted low to high and high to low, respectively.  Prices are dramatic and
+whole for clarity.
+
+|Row| To          | From       |
+|---|-------------|------------|
+| 1 | 1 T AB 2 4  | 2 F AB 2 8 |
+| 2 | 1 T AB 1 4  | 2 F AB 2 8 |
+| 3 | 1 T AB 6 6  | 2 F AB 2 7 |
+| 4 | 1 T AB 2 8  | 2 F AB 3 6 |
+| 5 | 1 T AB 2 10 | 2 F AB 1 5 |
+
+As part of a successful swap request, the exchange will credit tokens to the
+Matcher's account equal to the difference in the price ratios or the two orders.
+These tokens are considered the Matcher's profit for initiating the trade.
+
+The Matcher would initiate the following swap on the order table above:
+
+  - Row 1, To:   Investor 1 trades 2 A tokens to 8 B tokens
+  - Row 1, From: Investor 2 trades 2 A tokens from 8 B tokens
+  - Matcher takes 8 B tokens as profit
+
+Both row 1 trades are fully realized, table becomes:
+
+|Row| To          | From       |
+|---|-------------|------------|
+| 1 | 1 T AB 1 4  | 2 F AB 2 8 |
+| 2 | 1 T AB 6 6  | 2 F AB 2 7 |
+| 3 | 1 T AB 2 8  | 2 F AB 3 6 |
+| 4 | 1 T AB 2 10 | 2 F AB 1 5 |
+
+The Matcher would initiate the following swap:
+
+  - Row 1, To:   Investor 1 trades 1 A token to 4 B tokens
+  - Row 1, From: Investor 2 trades 1 A token from 4 B tokens
+  - Matcher takes 4 B tokens as profit
+
+Row 1 From is not fully realized, table becomes:
+
+|Row| To          | From       |
+|---|-------------|------------|
+| 1 | 1 T AB 6 6  | 2 F AB 1 8 |
+| 2 | 1 T AB 2 8  | 2 F AB 2 7 |
+| 3 | 1 T AB 2 10 | 2 F AB 3 6 |
+| 4 |             | 2 F AB 1 5 |
+
+The Matcher would initiate the following swap:
+
+  - Row 1, To:   Investor 1 trades 1 A token to 6 B tokens
+  - Row 1, From: Investor 2 trades 1 A token from 6 B tokens
+  - Matcher takes 2 B tokens as profit
+
+Row 1 To is now fully realized, table becomes:
+
+|Row| To          | From       |
+|---|-------------|------------|
+| 1 | 1 T AB 5 6  | 2 F AB 2 7 |
+| 2 | 1 T AB 2 8  | 2 F AB 3 5 |
+| 3 | 1 T AB 2 10 | 2 F AB 1 5 |
+
+The Matcher would initiate the following last swap:
+
+  - Row 1, To:   Investor 1 trades 2 A token to 12 B tokens
+  - Row 1, From: Investor 2 trades 2 A token from 12 B tokens
+  - Matcher takes 2 B tokens as profit
+
+Table becomes:
+
+|Row| To          | From       |
+|---|-------------|------------|
+| 1 | 1 T AB 3 6  | 2 F AB 3 5 |
+| 2 | 1 T AB 2 8  | 2 F AB 1 5 |
+| 3 | 1 T AB 2 10 |            |
+
+At this point the lowest To's price is larger than the largest From's price so
+no more swaps would be initiated until new orders came in.
+
+```rust
+pub enum ExchangeInstruction {
+    /// Trade swap request
+    /// key 0 - Signer
+    /// key 1 - Account in which to record the swap
+    /// key 2 - 'To' order
+    /// key 3 - `From` order
+    /// key 4 - Token account associated with the To Trade
+    /// key 5 - Token account associated with From trade
+    /// key 6 - Token account in which to deposit the Matcher profit from the swap.
+    SwapRequest,
+}
+
+/// Swap accounts are populated with this structure
+pub struct TradeSwapInfo {
+    /// Pair swapped
+    pub pair: TokenPair,
+    /// `To` order
+    pub to_trade_order: Pubkey,
+    /// `From` order
+    pub from_trade_order: Pubkey,
+    /// Number of primary tokens exchanged
+    pub primary_tokens: u64,
+    /// Price the primary tokens were exchanged for
+    pub primary_price: u64,
+    /// Number of secondary tokens exchanged
+    pub secondary_tokens: u64,
+    /// Price the secondary tokens were exchanged for
+    pub secondary_price: u64,
+}
+```
+
+## Exchange program operations
+
+Putting all the commands together from above, the following operations will be
+supported by the on-chain exchange program:
+
+```rust
+pub enum ExchangeInstruction {
+    /// New token account
+    /// key 0 - Signer
+    /// key 1 - New token account
+    AccountRequest,
+
+    /// Transfer tokens between two accounts
+    /// key 0 - Account to transfer tokens to
+    /// key 1 - Account to transfer tokens from.  This can be the exchange program itself,
+    ///         the exchange has a limitless number of tokens it can transfer.
+    TransferRequest(Token, u64),
+
+    /// order request
+    /// key 0 - Signer
+    /// key 1 - Account in which to record the swap
+    /// key 2 - Token account associated with this trade
+    TradeRequest(TradeRequestInfo),
+
+    /// order cancellation
+    /// key 0 - Signer
+    /// key 1 -order to cancel
+    TradeCancellation,
+
+    /// Trade swap request
+    /// key 0 - Signer
+    /// key 1 - Account in which to record the swap
+    /// key 2 - 'To' order
+    /// key 3 - `From` order
+    /// key 4 - Token account associated with the To Trade
+    /// key 5 - Token account associated with From trade
+    /// key 6 - Token account in which to deposit the Matcher profit from the swap.
+    SwapRequest,
+}
+```
+
+## Quotes and OHLCV
+
+The Matcher will provide current bid/ask price quotes based on trade actively and
+also provide OHLCV based on some time window.  The details of how the bid/ask
+price quotes are calculated are yet to be decided.
+
+## Investor strategies
+
+To make a compelling demo, the investors needs to provide interesting trade
+behavior.  Something as simple as a randomly twiddled baseline would be a
+minimum starting point.
+
+## Running the exchange
+
+The exchange bench posts trades and swaps matches as fast as it can.  
+
+You might want to bump the duration up
+to 60 seconds and the batch size to 1000 for better numbers.  You can modify those
+in client_demo/src/demo.rs::test_exchange_local_cluster.
+
+The following command runs the bench:
+
+```bash
+$ RUST_LOG=solana_bench_exchange=info cargo test --release -- --nocapture test_exchange_local_cluster
+```
+
+To also see the cluster messages:
+
+```bash
+$ RUST_LOG=solana_bench_exchange=info,solana=info cargo test --release -- --nocapture test_exchange_local_cluster
+```

-# Blockstreamer
-
-Solana supports a node type called an *blockstreamer*. This fullnode variation
-is intended for applications that need to observe the data plane without
-participating in transaction validation or ledger replication.
-
-A blockstreamer runs without a vote signer, and can optionally stream ledger
-entries out to a Unix domain socket as they are processed. The JSON-RPC service
-still functions as on any other node.
-
-To run a blockstreamer, include the argument `no-signer` and (optional)
-`blockstream` socket location:
-
-```bash
-$ ./multinode-demo/fullnode-x.sh --no-signer --blockstream <SOCKET>
-```
-
-The stream will output a series of JSON objects:
-- An Entry event JSON object is sent when each ledger entry is processed, with
-the following fields:
-
-   * `dt`, the system datetime, as RFC3339-formatted string
-   * `t`, the event type, always "entry"
-   * `s`, the slot height, as unsigned 64-bit integer
-   * `h`, the tick height, as unsigned 64-bit integer
-   * `entry`, the entry, as JSON object
-
-
-- A Block event JSON object is sent when a block is complete, with the
-following fields:
-
-   * `dt`, the system datetime, as RFC3339-formatted string
-   * `t`, the event type, always "block"
-   * `s`, the slot height, as unsigned 64-bit integer
-   * `h`, the tick height, as unsigned 64-bit integer

-# Blocktree
-
-After a block reaches finality, all blocks from that one on down
-to the genesis block form a linear chain with the familiar name
-blockchain. Until that point, however, the validator must maintain all
-potentially valid chains, called *forks*. The process by which forks
-naturally form as a result of leader rotation is described in
-[fork generation](fork-generation.md). The *blocktree* data structure
-described here is how a validator copes with those forks until blocks
-are finalized.
-
-The blocktree allows a validator to record every blob it observes
-on the network, in any order, as long as the blob is signed by the expected
-leader for a given slot.
-
-Blobs are moved to a fork-able key space the tuple of `leader slot` + `blob
-index` (within the slot).  This permits the skip-list structure of the Solana
-protocol to be stored in its entirety, without a-priori choosing which fork to
-follow, which Entries to persist or when to persist them.
-
-Repair requests for recent blobs are served out of RAM or recent files and out
-of deeper storage for less recent blobs, as implemented by the store backing
-Blocktree.
-
-### Functionalities of Blocktree
-
-1. Persistence: the Blocktree lives in the front of the nodes verification
-   pipeline, right behind network receive and signature verification.  If the
-blob received is consistent with the leader schedule (i.e. was signed by the
-leader for the indicated slot), it is immediately stored.
-2. Repair: repair is the same as window repair above, but able to serve any
-   blob that's been received. Blocktree stores blobs with signatures,
-preserving the chain of origination.
-3. Forks: Blocktree supports random access of blobs, so can support a
-   validator's need to rollback and replay from a Bank checkpoint.
-4. Restart: with proper pruning/culling, the Blocktree can be replayed by
-   ordered enumeration of entries from slot 0.  The logic of the replay stage
-(i.e. dealing with forks) will have to be used for the most recent entries in
-the Blocktree.
-
-### Blocktree Design
-
-1. Entries in the Blocktree are stored as key-value pairs, where the key is the concatenated
-slot index and blob index for an entry, and the value is the entry data. Note blob indexes are zero-based for each slot (i.e. they're slot-relative).
-
-2. The Blocktree maintains metadata for each slot, in the `SlotMeta` struct containing:
-      * `slot_index` - The index of this slot
-      * `num_blocks` - The number of blocks in the slot (used for chaining to a previous slot)
-      * `consumed` - The highest blob index `n`, such that for all `m < n`, there exists a blob in this slot with blob index equal to `n` (i.e. the highest consecutive blob index).
-      * `received` - The highest received blob index for the slot
-      * `next_slots` - A list of future slots this slot could chain to. Used when rebuilding
-      the ledger to find possible fork points.
-      * `last_index` - The index of the blob that is flagged as the last blob for this slot. This flag on a blob will be set by the leader for a slot when they are transmitting the last blob for a slot.
-      * `is_rooted` - True iff every block from 0...slot forms a full sequence without any holes. We can derive is_rooted for each slot with the following rules. Let slot(n) be the slot with index `n`, and slot(n).is_full() is true if the slot with index `n` has all the ticks expected for that slot. Let is_rooted(n) be the statement that "the slot(n).is_rooted is true". Then:
-
-      is_rooted(0)
-      is_rooted(n+1) iff (is_rooted(n) and slot(n).is_full()
-
-3. Chaining - When a blob for a new slot `x` arrives, we check the number of blocks (`num_blocks`) for that new slot (this information is encoded in the blob). We then know that this new slot chains to slot `x - num_blocks`.
-
-4. Subscriptions - The Blocktree records a set of slots that have been "subscribed" to. This means entries that chain to these slots will be sent on the Blocktree channel for consumption by the ReplayStage. See the `Blocktree APIs` for details.
-
-5. Update notifications - The Blocktree notifies listeners when slot(n).is_rooted is flipped from false to true for any `n`.
-
-### Blocktree APIs
-
-The Blocktree offers a subscription based API that ReplayStage uses to ask for entries it's interested in. The entries will be sent on a channel exposed by the Blocktree. These subscription API's are as follows:
-   1. `fn get_slots_since(slot_indexes: &[u64]) -> Vec<SlotMeta>`: Returns new slots connecting to any element of the list `slot_indexes`.
-
-   2. `fn get_slot_entries(slot_index: u64, entry_start_index: usize, max_entries: Option<u64>) -> Vec<Entry>`: Returns the entry vector for the slot starting with `entry_start_index`, capping the result at `max` if `max_entries == Some(max)`, otherwise, no upper limit on the length of the return vector is imposed.
-
-Note: Cumulatively, this means that the replay stage will now have to know when a slot is finished, and subscribe to the next slot it's interested in to get the next set of entries. Previously, the burden of chaining slots fell on the Blocktree.
-
-### Interfacing with Bank
-
-The bank exposes to replay stage:
-
- 1. `prev_hash`: which PoH chain it's working on as indicated by the hash of the last
-    entry it processed
- 2. `tick_height`: the ticks in the PoH chain currently being verified by this
-    bank
- 3. `votes`: a stack of records that contain:
-
-    1. `prev_hashes`: what anything after this vote must chain to in PoH
-    2. `tick_height`: the tick height at which this vote was cast
-    3. `lockout period`: how long a chain must be observed to be in the ledger to
-       be able to be chained below this vote
-
-Replay stage uses Blocktree APIs to find the longest chain of entries it can
-hang off a previous vote.  If that chain of entries does not hang off the
-latest vote, the replay stage rolls back the bank to that vote and replays the
-chain from there.
-
-### Pruning Blocktree
-
-Once Blocktree entries are old enough, representing all the possible forks
-becomes less useful, perhaps even problematic for replay upon restart.  Once a
-validator's votes have reached max lockout, however, any Blocktree contents
-that are not on the PoH chain for that vote for can be pruned, expunged.
-
-Replicator nodes will be responsible for storing really old ledger contents,
-and validators need only persist their bank periodically.

-# Cluster Test Framework
-
-This document proposes the Cluster Test Framework (CTF).  CTF is a test harness
-that allows tests to execute against a local, in-process cluster or a
-deployed cluster.
-
-## Motivation
-
-The goal of CTF is to provide a framework for writing tests independent of where
-and how the cluster is deployed. Regressions can be captured in these tests and
-the tests can be run against deployed clusters to verify the deployment.  The
-focus of these tests should be on cluster stability, consensus, fault tolerance,
-API stability.
-
-Tests should verify a single bug or scenario, and should be written with the
-least amount of internal plumbing exposed to the test.
-
-## Design Overview
-
-Tests are provided an entry point, which is a `contact_info::ContactInfo`
-structure, and a keypair that has already been funded.
-
-Each node in the cluster is configured with a `fullnode::FullnodeConfig` at boot
-time.  At boot time this configuration specifies any extra cluster configuration
-required for the test. The cluster should boot with the configuration when it
-is run in-process or in a data center.
-
-Once booted, the test will discover the cluster through a gossip entry point and
-configure any runtime behaviors via fullnode RPC.
-
-## Test Interface
-
-Each CTF test starts with an opaque entry point and a funded keypair.  The test
-should not depend on how the cluster is deployed, and should be able to exercise
-all the cluster functionality through the publicly available interfaces.
-
-```rust,ignore
-use crate::contact_info::ContactInfo;
-use solana_sdk::signature::{Keypair, KeypairUtil};
-pub fn test_this_behavior(
-    entry_point_info: &ContactInfo,
-    funding_keypair: &Keypair,
-    num_nodes: usize,
-)
-```
-
-
-## Cluster Discovery
-
-At test start, the cluster has already been established and is fully connected.
-The test can discover most of the available nodes over a few second.
-
-```rust,ignore
-use crate::gossip_service::discover_nodes;
-
-// Discover the cluster over a few seconds.
-let cluster_nodes = discover_nodes(&entry_point_info, num_nodes);
-```
-
-## Cluster Configuration
-
-To enable specific scenarios, the cluster needs to be booted with special
-configurations.  These configurations can be captured in
-`fullnode::FullnodeConfig`.
-
-For example:
-
-```rust,ignore
-let mut fullnode_config = FullnodeConfig::default();
-fullnode_config.rpc_config.enable_fullnode_exit = true;
-let local = LocalCluster::new_with_config(
-                num_nodes,
-                10_000,
-                100,
-                &fullnode_config
-                );
-```
-
-## How to design a new test
-
-For example, there is a bug that shows that the cluster fails when it is flooded
-with invalid advertised gossip nodes.  Our gossip library and protocol may
-change, but the cluster still needs to stay resilient to floods of invalid
-advertised gossip nodes.
-
-Configure the RPC service:
-
-```rust,ignore
-let mut fullnode_config = FullnodeConfig::default();
-fullnode_config.rpc_config.enable_rpc_gossip_push = true;
-fullnode_config.rpc_config.enable_rpc_gossip_refresh_active_set = true;
-```
-
-Wire the RPCs and write a new test:
-
-```rust,ignore
-pub fn test_large_invalid_gossip_nodes(
-    entry_point_info: &ContactInfo,
-    funding_keypair: &Keypair,
-    num_nodes: usize,
-) {
-    let cluster = discover_nodes(&entry_point_info, num_nodes);
-
-    // Poison the cluster.
-    let client = create_client(entry_point_info.client_facing_addr(), FULLNODE_PORT_RANGE);
-    for _ in 0..(num_nodes * 100) {
-        client.gossip_push(
-            cluster_info::invalid_contact_info()
-        );
-    }
-    sleep(Durration::from_millis(1000));
-
-    // Force refresh of the active set.
-    for node in &cluster {
-        let client = create_client(node.client_facing_addr(), FULLNODE_PORT_RANGE);
-        client.gossip_refresh_active_set();
-    }
-
-    // Verify that spends still work.
-    verify_spends(&cluster);

-# A Solana Cluster
-
-A Solana cluster is a set of fullnodes working together to serve client
-transactions and maintain the integrity of the ledger. Many clusters may
-coexist. When two clusters share a common genesis block, they attempt to
-converge. Otherwise, they simply ignore the existence of the other.
-Transactions sent to the wrong one are quietly rejected. In this chapter, we'll
-discuss how a cluster is created, how nodes join the cluster, how they share
-the ledger, how they ensure the ledger is replicated, and how they cope with
-buggy and malicious nodes.
-
-## Creating a Cluster
-
-Before starting any fullnodes, one first needs to create a *genesis block*.
-The block contains entries referencing two public keys, a *mint* and a
-*bootstrap leader*. The fullnode holding the bootstrap leader's secret key is
-responsible for appending the first entries to the ledger. It initializes its
-internal state with the mint's account. That account will hold the number of
-native tokens defined by the genesis block. The second fullnode then contacts
-the bootstrap leader to register as a *validator* or *replicator*. Additional
-fullnodes then register with any registered member of the cluster.
-
-A validator receives all entries from the leader and submits votes confirming
-those entries are valid. After voting, the validator is expected to store those
-entries until replicator nodes submit proofs that they have stored copies of
-it. Once the validator observes a sufficient number of copies exist, it deletes
-its copy.
-
-## Joining a Cluster
-
-Fullnodes and replicators enter the cluster via registration messages sent to
-its *control plane*. The control plane is implemented using a *gossip*
-protocol, meaning that a node may register with any existing node, and expect
-its registration to propagate to all nodes in the cluster. The time it takes
-for all nodes to synchronize is proportional to the square of the number of
-nodes participating in the cluster. Algorithmically, that's considered very
-slow, but in exchange for that time, a node is assured that it eventually has
-all the same information as every other node, and that that information cannot
-be censored by any one node.
-
-## Sending Transactions to a Cluster
-
-Clients send transactions to any fullnode's Transaction Processing Unit (TPU)
-port. If the node is in the validator role, it forwards the transaction to the
-designated leader. If in the leader role, the node bundles incoming
-transactions, timestamps them creating an *entry*, and pushes them onto the
-cluster's *data plane*. Once on the data plane, the transactions are validated
-by validator nodes and replicated by replicator nodes, effectively appending
-them to the ledger.
-
-## Confirming Transactions
-
-A Solana cluster is capable of subsecond *confirmation* for up to 150 nodes
-with plans to scale up to hundreds of thousands of nodes. Once fully
-implemented, confirmation times are expected to increase only with the
-logarithm of the number of validators, where the logarithm's base is very high.
-If the base is one thousand, for example, it means that for the first thousand
-nodes, confirmation will be the duration of three network hops plus the time it
-takes the slowest validator of a supermajority to vote. For the next million
-nodes, confirmation increases by only one network hop.
-
-Solana defines confirmation as the duration of time from when the leader
-timestamps a new entry to the moment when it recognizes a supermajority of
-ledger votes.
-
-A gossip network is much too slow to achieve subsecond confirmation once the
-network grows beyond a certain size. The time it takes to send messages to all
-nodes is proportional to the square of the number of nodes. If a blockchain
-wants to achieve low confirmation and attempts to do it using a gossip network,
-it will be forced to centralize to just a handful of nodes.
-
-Scalable confirmation can be achieved using the follow combination of
-techniques:
-
-1. Timestamp transactions with a VDF sample and sign the timestamp.
-2. Split the transactions into batches, send each to separate nodes and have
-   each node share its batch with its peers.
-3. Repeat the previous step recursively until all nodes have all batches.
-
-Solana rotates leaders at fixed intervals, called *slots*. Each leader may only
-produce entries during its allotted slot. The leader therefore timestamps
-transactions so that validators may lookup the public key of the designated
-leader. The leader then signs the timestamp so that a validator may verify the
-signature, proving the signer is owner of the designated leader's public key.
-
-Next, transactions are broken into batches so that a node can send transactions
-to multiple parties without making multiple copies. If, for example, the leader
-needed to send 60 transactions to 6 nodes, it would break that collection of 60
-into batches of 10 transactions and send one to each node. This allows the
-leader to put 60 transactions on the wire, not 60 transactions for each node.
-Each node then shares its batch with its peers. Once the node has collected all
-6 batches, it reconstructs the original set of 60 transactions.
-
-A batch of transactions can only be split so many times before it is so small
-that header information becomes the primary consumer of network bandwidth. At
-the time of this writing, the approach is scaling well up to about 150
-validators. To scale up to hundreds of thousands of validators, each node can
-apply the same technique as the leader node to another set of nodes of equal
-size. We call the technique *data plane fanout*; learn more in the [data plan
-fanout](data-plane-fanout.md) section.

-# Credit-Only Accounts
-
-This design covers the handling of credit-only and credit-debit accounts in the
-[runtime](runtime.md).  Accounts already distinguish themselves as credit-only or
-credit-debit based on the program ID specified by the transaction's instruction.
-Programs must treat accounts that are not owned by them as credit-only.
-
-To identify credit-only accounts by program id would require the account to be
-fetched and loaded from disk.  This operation is expensive, and while it is
-occurring, the runtime would have to reject any transactions referencing the same
-account.
-
-The proposal introduces a `num_readonly_accounts` field to the transaction
-structure, and removes the `program_ids` dedicated vector for program accounts.
-
-This design doesn't change the runtime transaction processing rules.
-Programs still can't write or spend accounts that they do not own, but it
-allows the runtime to optimistically take the correct lock for each account
-specified in the transaction before loading the accounts from storage.
-
-Accounts selected as credit-debit by the transaction can still be treated as
-credit-only by the instructions.
-
-## Runtime handling
-
-credit-only accounts have the following properties:
-
-* Can be deposited into:  Deposits can be implemented as a simple `atomic_add`.
-* read-only access to account data.
-
-Instructions that debit or modify the credit-only account data will fail.
-
-## Account Lock Optimizations
-
-The Accounts module keeps track of current locked accounts in the runtime,
-which separates credit-only accounts from the credit-debit accounts.  The credit-only
-accounts can be cached in memory and shared between all the threads executing
-transactions.
-
-The current runtime can't predict whether an account is credit-only or credit-debit when
-the transaction account keys are locked at the start of the transaction
-processing pipeline.  Accounts referenced by the transaction have not been
-loaded from the disk yet.
-
-An ideal design would cache the credit-only accounts while they are referenced by
-any transaction moving through the runtime, and release the cache when the last
-transaction exits the runtime.
-
-## Credit-only accounts and read-only account data
-
-Credit-only account data can be treated as read-only. Credit-debit
-account data is treated as read-write.
-
-## Transaction changes
-
-To enable the possibility of caching accounts only while they are in the
-runtime, the Transaction structure should be changed in the following way:
-
-* `program_ids: Vec<Pubkey>` - This vector is removed.  Program keys can be
-placed at the end of the `account_keys` vector within the `num_readonly_accounts`
-number set to the number of programs.
-
-* `num_readonly_accounts: u8` - The number of keys from the **end** of the
-transaction's `account_keys` array that is credit-only.
-
-The following possible accounts are present in an transaction:
-
-* paying account
-* RW accounts
-* R accounts
-* Program IDs
-
-The paying account must be credit-debit, and program IDs must be credit-only.  The
-first account in the `account_keys` array is always the account that pays for
-the transaction fee, therefore it cannot be credit-only.  For these reasons the
-credit-only accounts are all grouped together at the end of the `account_keys`
-vector.  Counting credit-only accounts from the end allow for the default `0`
-value to still be functionally correct, since a transaction will succeed with
-all credit-debit accounts.
-
-Since accounts can only appear once in the transaction's `account_keys` array,
-an account can only be credit-only or credit-debit in a single transaction, not
-both.  The runtime treats a transaction as one atomic unit of execution. If any
-instruction needs credit-debit access to an account, a copy needs to be made. The
-write lock is held for the entire time the transaction is being processed by
-the runtime.
-
-## Starvation
-
-Read locks for credit-only accounts can keep the runtime from executing
-transactions requesting a write lock to a credit-debit account.
-
-When a request for a write lock is made while a read lock is open, the
-transaction requesting the write lock should be cached.  Upon closing the read
-lock, the pending transactions can be pushed through the runtime.
-
-While a pending write transaction exists, any additional read lock requests for
-that account should fail.  It follows that any other write lock requests will also 
-fail.  Currently, clients must retransmit when a transaction fails because of 
-a pending transaction.  This approach would mimic that behavior as closely as
-possible while preventing write starvation.
-
-## Program execution with credit-only accounts
-
-Before handing off the accounts to program execution, the runtime can mark each
-account in each instruction as a credit-only account.  The credit-only accounts can
-be passed as references without an extra copy.  The transaction will abort on a
-write to credit-only.
-
-An alternative is to detect writes to credit-only accounts and fail the
-transactions before commit.
-
-## Alternative design
-
-This design attempts to cache a credit-only account after loading without the use
-of a transaction-specified credit-only accounts list.  Instead, the credit-only
-accounts are held in a reference-counted table inside the runtime as the
-transactions are processed.
-
-1. Transaction accounts are locked.
-    a. If the account is present in the ‘credit-only' table, the TX does not fail.

-    b. Remove from the `lock` set if the account is not in the `credit-only`

-
-Holding the accounts lock mutex while fetching the account from disk would
-potentially have a significant performance hit on the runtime. Fetching from
-disk is expected to be slow, but can be parallelized between multiple disks.

-# Data Plane Fanout
-
-A Solana cluster uses a multi-layer mechanism called *data plane fanout* to
-broadcast transaction blobs to all nodes in a very quick and efficient manner.
-In order to establish the fanout, the cluster divides itself into small
-collections of nodes, called *neighborhoods*. Each node is responsible for
-sharing any data it receives with the other nodes in its neighborhood, as well
-as propagating the data on to a small set of nodes in other neighborhoods.
-
-During its slot, the leader node distributes blobs between the validator nodes
-in one neighborhood (layer 1). Each validator shares its data within its
-neighborhood, but also retransmits the blobs to one node in each of multiple
-neighborhoods in the next layer (layer 2). The layer-2 nodes each share their
-data with their neighborhood peers, and retransmit to nodes in the next layer,
-etc, until all nodes in the cluster have received all the blobs.
-
-<img alt="Two layer cluster" src="img/data-plane.svg" class="center"/>
-
-## Neighborhood Assignment - Weighted Selection
-
-In order for data plane fanout to work, the entire cluster must agree on how the
-cluster is divided into neighborhoods. To achieve this, all the recognized
-validator nodes (the TVU peers) are sorted by stake and stored in a list. This
-list is then indexed in different ways to figure out neighborhood boundaries and
-retransmit peers. For example, the leader will simply select the first nodes to
-make up layer 1. These will automatically be the highest stake holders, allowing
-the heaviest votes to come back to the leader first. Layer-1 and lower-layer
-nodes use the same logic to find their neighbors and lower layer peers.
-
-## Layer and Neighborhood Structure
-
-The current leader makes its initial broadcasts to at most `DATA_PLANE_FANOUT`
-nodes. If this layer 1 is smaller than the number of nodes in the cluster, then
-the data plane fanout mechanism adds layers below. Subsequent layers follow
-these constraints to determine layer-capacity: Each neighborhood contains
-`NEIGHBORHOOD_SIZE` nodes and each layer may have up to `DATA_PLANE_FANOUT/2`
-neighborhoods.
-
-As mentioned above, each node in a layer only has to broadcast its blobs to its
-neighbors and to exactly 1 node in each next-layer neighborhood, instead of to
-every TVU peer in the cluster. In the default mode, each layer contains
-`DATA_PLANE_FANOUT/2` neighborhoods. The retransmit mechanism also supports a
-second, `grow`, mode of operation that squares the number of neighborhoods
-allowed each layer. This dramatically reduces the number of layers needed to
-support a large cluster, but can also have a negative impact on the network
-pressure on each node in the lower layers. A good way to think of the default
-mode (when `grow` is disabled) is to imagine it as chain of layers, where the
-leader sends blobs to layer-1 and then layer-1 to layer-2 and so on, the `layer
-capacities` remain constant, so all layers past layer-2 will have the same
-number of nodes until the whole cluster is covered. When `grow` is enabled, this
-becomes a traditional fanout where layer-3 will have the square of the number of
-nodes in layer-2 and so on.
-
-#### Configuration Values
-
-`DATA_PLANE_FANOUT` - Determines the size of layer 1. Subsequent
-layers have `DATA_PLANE_FANOUT/2` neighborhoods when `grow` is inactive.
-
-`NEIGHBORHOOD_SIZE` - The number of nodes allowed in a neighborhood.
-Neighborhoods will fill to capacity before new ones are added, i.e if a
-neighborhood isn't full, it _must_ be the last one.
-
-`GROW_LAYER_CAPACITY` - Whether or not retransmit should be behave like a
-_traditional fanout_, i.e if each additional layer should have growing
-capacities. When this mode is disabled (default), all layers after layer 1 have
-the same capacity, keeping the network pressure on all nodes equal.
-
-Currently, configuration is set when the cluster is launched. In the future,
-these parameters may be hosted on-chain, allowing modification on the fly as the
-cluster sizes change.
-
-## Neighborhoods
-
-The following diagram shows how two neighborhoods in different layers interact.
-What this diagram doesn't capture is that each neighbor actually receives
-blobs from one validator per neighborhood above it. This means that, to
-cripple a neighborhood, enough nodes (erasure codes +1 per neighborhood) from
-the layer above need to fail.  Since multiple neighborhoods exist in the upper
-layer and a node will receive blobs from a node in each of those neighborhoods,
-we'd need a big network failure in the upper layers to end up with incomplete
-data.

-# Creating Signing Services with Drones
-
-This chapter defines an off-chain service called a *drone*, which acts as
-custodian of a user's private key. In its simplest form, it can be used to
-create *airdrop* transactions, a token transfer from the drone's account to a
-client's account.
-
-## Signing Service
-
-A drone is a simple signing service. It listens for requests to sign
-*transaction data*.  Once received, the drone validates the request however it
-sees fit. It may, for example, only accept transaction data with a
-`SystemInstruction::Move` instruction transferring only up to a certain amount
-of tokens. If the drone accepts the transaction, it returns an `Ok(Signature)`
-where `Signature` is a signature of the transaction data using the drone's
-private key. If it rejects the transaction data, it returns a `DroneError`
-describing why.
-
-
-## Examples
-
-### Granting access to an on-chain game
-
-Creator of on-chain game tic-tac-toe hosts a drone that responds to airdrop
-requests containing an `InitGame` instruction. The drone signs the transaction
-data in the request and returns it, thereby authorizing its account to pay the
-transaction fee and as well as seeding the game's account with enough tokens to
-play it. The user then creates a transaction for its transaction data and the
-drones signature and submits it to the Solana cluster. Each time the user
-interacts with the game, the game pays the user enough tokens to pay the next
-transaction fee to advance the game. At that point, the user may choose to keep
-the tokens instead of advancing the game. If the creator wants to defend
-against that case, they could require the user to return to the drone to sign
-each instruction.
-
-### Worldwide airdrop of a new token
-
-Creator of a new on-chain token (ERC-20 interface), may wish to do a worldwide
-airdrop to distribute its tokens to millions of users over just a few seconds.
-That drone cannot spend resources interacting with the Solana cluster. Instead,
-the drone should only verify the client is unique and human, and then return
-the signature. It may also want to listen to the Solana cluster for recent
-entry IDs to support client retries and to ensure the airdrop is targeting the
-desired cluster.
-
-
-## Attack vectors
-
-### Invalid recent_blockhash
-
-The drone may prefer its airdrops only target a particular Solana cluster.  To
-do that, it listens to the cluster for new entry IDs and ensure any requests
-reference a recent one.
-
-Note: to listen for new entry IDs assumes the drone is either a fullnode or a
-*light* client. At the time of this writing, light clients have not been
-implemented and no proposal describes them. This document assumes one of the
-following approaches be taken:
-
-1. Define and implement a light client
-2. Embed a fullnode
-3. Query the jsonrpc API for the latest last id at a rate slightly faster than
-   ticks are produced.
-
-### Double spends
-
-A client may request multiple airdrops before the first has been submitted to
-the ledger. The client may do this maliciously or simply because it thinks the
-first request was dropped. The drone should not simply query the cluster to
-ensure the client has not already received an airdrop. Instead, it should use
-`recent_blockhash` to ensure the previous request is expired before signing another.
-Note that the Solana cluster will reject any transaction with a `recent_blockhash`
-beyond a certain *age*.
-
-### Denial of Service
-
-If the transaction data size is smaller than the size of the returned signature
-(or descriptive error), a single client can flood the network.  Considering
-that a simple `Move` operation requires two public keys (each 32 bytes) and a
-`fee` field, and that the returned signature is 64 bytes (and a byte to
-indicate `Ok`), consideration for this attack may not be required.
-
-In the current design, the drone accepts TCP connections. This allows clients
-to DoS the service by simply opening lots of idle connections. Switching to UDP
-may be preferred. The transaction data will be smaller than a UDP packet since
-the transaction sent to the Solana cluster is already pinned to using UDP.

-## Attack Vectors
-
-### Colluding validation and replication clients
-
-A colluding validation-client, may take the strategy to mark PoReps from non-colluding replicator nodes as invalid as an attempt to maximize the rewards for the colluding replicator nodes. In this case, it isn’t feasible for the offended-against replicator nodes to petition the network for resolution as this would result in a network-wide vote on each offending PoRep and create too much overhead for the network to progress adequately. Also, this mitigation attempt would still be vulnerable to a >= 51% staked colluder.
-
-Alternatively, transaction fees from submitted PoReps are pooled and distributed across validation-clients in proportion to the number of valid PoReps discounted by the number of invalid PoReps as voted by each validator-client. Thus invalid votes are directly dis-incentivized through this reward channel. Invalid votes that are revealed by replicator nodes as fishing PoReps, will not be discounted from the payout PoRep count.
-
-Another collusion attack involves a validator-client who may take the strategy to ignore invalid PoReps from colluding replicator and vote them as valid. In this case, colluding replicator-clients would not have to store the data while still receiving rewards for validated PoReps. Additionally, colluding validator nodes would also receive rewards for validating these PoReps. To mitigate this attack, validators must randomly sample PoReps corresponding to the ledger block they are validating and because of this, there will be multiple validators that will receive the colluding replicator’s invalid submissions. These non-colluding validators will be incentivized to mark these PoReps as invalid as they have no way to determine whether the proposed invalid PoRep is actually a fishing PoRep, for which a confirmation vote would result in the validator’s stake being slashed.
-
-In this case, the proportion of time a colluding pair will be successful has an upper limit determined by the % of stake of the network claimed by the colluding validator. This also sets bounds to the value of such an attack. For example, if a colluding validator controls 10% of the total validator stake, transaction fees will be lost (likely sent to mining pool) by the colluding replicator 90% of the time and so the attack vector is only profitable if the per-PoRep reward at least 90% higher than the average PoRep transaction fee. While, probabilistically, some colluding replicator-client PoReps will find their way to colluding validation-clients, the network can also monitor rates of paired (validator + replicator) discrepancies in voting patterns and censor identified colluders in these cases.

-## Economic Sustainability
-
-Long term economic sustainability is one of the guiding principles of Solana’s economic design. While it is impossible to predict how decentralized economies will develop over time, especially economies with flexible decentralized governances, we can arrange economic components such that, under certain conditions, a sustainable economy may take shape in the long term. In the case of Solana’s network, these components take the form of the remittances and deposits into and out of the reserve ‘mining pool’.
-
-The dominant remittances from the Solana mining pool are validator and replicator rewards. The deposit mechanism is a flat, protocol-specified and adjusted, % of each transaction fee.
-
-The Replicator rewards are to be delivered to replicators from the mining pool after successful PoRep validation. The per-PoRep reward amount is determined as a function of the total network storage redundancy at the time of the PoRep validation and the network goal redundancy. This function is likely to take the form of a discount from a base reward to be delivered when the network has achieved and maintained its goal redundancy. An example of such a reward function is shown in **Figure 3**
-

-
-**Figure 3**: Example PoRep reward design as a function of global network storage redundancy.
-
-In the example shown in Figure 1, multiple per PoRep base rewards are explored (as a % of Tx Fee) to be delivered when the global ledger replication redundancy meets 10X. When the global ledger replication redundancy is less than 10X, the base reward is discounted as a function of the square of the ratio of the actual ledger replication redundancy to the goal redundancy (i.e. 10X).
-
-The other protocol-based remittance goes to validation-clients as a reward distributed in proportion to stake-weight for voting to validate the ledger state. The functional issuance of this reward is described in [State-validation Protocol-based Rewards](ed_vce_state_validation_protocol_based_rewards.md) and is designed to reduce over time until validators are incentivized solely through collection of transaction fees. Therefore, in the long-run, protocol-based rewards to replication-nodes will be the only remittances from the mining pool, and will have to be countered by the portion of each non-PoRep transaction fee that is directed back into the mining pool. I.e. for a long-term self-sustaining economy, replicator-client rewards must be subsidized through a minimum fee on each non-PoRep transaction pre-allocated to the mining pool.  Through this constraint, we can write the following inequality:

Of course, we don't expect the final implementation to perfectly match what has been described above. We intend to fully engage with network stakeholders throughout the implementation phases (i.e. pre-testnet, testnet, mainnet) to ensure the system supports, and is representative of, the various network participants' interests. The first step toward this goal, however, is outlining a some desired MVP economic features to be available for early pre-testnet and testnet participants. Below is a rough sketch outlining basic economic functionality from which a more complete and functional system can be developed.

-* Faucet to deliver testnet SOLs to validators for staking and dapp development.
-* Mechanism by which validators are rewarded in proportion to their stake. Interest rate mechansism (i.e. to be determined by total % staked) to come later.
-* Ability to delegate tokens to validator nodes.
-* Replicators to receive fixed, arbitrary reward for submitting validated PoReps. Reward size mechanism (i.e. PoRep reward as a function of total ledger redundancy) to come later.
-* Pooling of replicator PoRep transaction fees and weighted distribution to validators based on PoRep verification (see [Replication-validation Transaction Fees](ed_vce_replication_validation_transaction_fees.md). It will be useful to test this protection against attacks on testnet.
-* Nice-to-have: auto-delegation of replicator rewards to validator.

-## Economic Design Overview
-
-Solana’s crypto-economic system is designed to promote a healthy, long term self-sustaining economy with participant incentives aligned to the security and decentralization of the network. The main participants in this economy are validation-clients and replication-clients. Their contributions to the network, state validation and data storage respectively, and their requisite remittance mechanisms are discussed below.
-
-The main channels of participant remittances are referred to as protocol-based rewards and transaction fees. Protocol-based rewards are protocol-derived issuances from a network-controlled reserve of tokens (sometimes referred to as the ‘mining pool’). These rewards will constitute the total reward delivered to replication clients and a portion of the total rewards for validation clients, the remaining sourced from transaction fees. In the early days of the network, it is likely that protocol-based rewards, deployed based on predefined issuance schedule, will drive the majority of participant incentives to join the network.
-
-These protocol-based rewards, to be distributed to participating validation and replication clients, are to be specified as annual interest rates calculated per, real-time, Solana epoch [DEFINITION]. As discussed further below, the issuance rates are determined as a function of total network validator staked percentage and total replication provided by replicators in each previous epoch. The choice for validator and replicator client rewards to be based on participation rates, rather than a global fixed inflation or interest rate, emphasizes a protocol priority of overall economic security, rather than monetary supply predictability. Due to Solana’s hard total supply cap of 1B tokens and the bounds of client participant rates in the protocol, we believe that global interest, and supply issuance, scenarios should be able to be modeled with reasonable uncertainties.
-
-Transaction fees are market-based participant-to-participant transfers, attached to network interactions as a necessary motivation and compensation for the inclusion and execution of a proposed transaction (be it a state execution or proof-of-replication verification). A mechanism for continuous and long-term funding of the mining pool through a pre-dedicated portion of transaction fees is also discussed below.
-
-A high-level schematic of Solana’s crypto-economic design is shown below in **Figure 1**. The specifics of validation-client economics are described in sections: [Validation-client Economics](ed_validation_client_economics.md), [State-validation Protocol-based Rewards](ed_vce_state_validation_protocol_based_rewards.md), [State-validation Transaction Fees](ed_vce_state_validation_transaction_fees.md) and [Replication-validation Transaction Fees](ed_vce_replication_validation_transaction_fees.md). Also, the chapter titled [Validation Stake Delegation](ed_vce_validation_stake_delegation.md) closes with a discussion of validator delegation opportunties and marketplace. The [Replication-client Economics](ed_replication_client_economics.md) chapter will review the Solana network design for global ledger storage/redundancy and replicator-client economics ([Storage-replication rewards](ed_rce_storage_replication_rewards.md)) along with a replicator-to-validator delegation mechanism designed to aide participant on-boarding into the Solana economy discussed in [Replication-client Reward Auto-delegation](ed_rce_replication_client_reward_auto_delegation.md). The [Economic Sustainability](ed_economic_sustainability.md) section dives deeper into Solana’s design for long-term economic sustainability and outlines the constraints and conditions for a self-sustaining economy. An outline of features for an MVP economic design is discussed in the [Economic Design MVP](ed_mvp.md) section. Finally, in chapter [Attack Vectors](ed_attack_vectors.md), various attack vectors will be described and potential vulnerabilities explored and parameterized.

-### Replication-client Reward Auto-delegation
-
-The ability for Solana network participant’s to earn rewards by providing storage service is a unique on-boarding path that requires little hardware overhead and minimal upfront capital. It offers an avenue for individuals with extra-storage space on their home laptops or PCs to contribute to the security of the network and become integrated into the Solana economy.
-
-To enhance this on-boarding ramp and facilitate further participation and investment in the Solana economy, replication-clients have the opportunity to auto-delegate their rewards to validation-clients of their choice. Much like the automatic reinvestment of stock dividends, in this scenario, a replicator-client can earn Solana tokens by providing some storage capacity to the network (i.e. via submitting valid PoReps), have the protocol-based rewards automatically assigned as delegation to a staked validator node and therefore earning interest in the validation-client reward pool.

-### Storage-replication Rewards

-Replicator-clients download, encrypt and submit PoReps for ledger block sections.3  PoReps submitted to the PoH stream, and subsequently validated, function as evidence that the submitting replicator client is indeed storing the assigned ledger block sections on local hard drive space as a service to the network. Therefore, replicator clients should earn protocol rewards proportional to the amount of storage, and the number of successfully validated PoReps, that they are verifiably providing to the network.
-
-Additionally, replicator clients have the opportunity to capture a portion of slashed bounties [TBD] of dishonest validator clients. This can be accomplished by a replicator client submitting a verifiably false PoRep for which a dishonest validator client receives and signs as a valid PoRep. This reward incentive is to prevent lazy validators and minimize validator-replicator collusion attacks, more on this below.

-## Validation-client Economics
-
-Validator-clients are eligible to receive protocol-based (i.e. via mining pool) rewards issued via stake-based annual interest rates by providing compute (CPU+GPU) resources to validate and vote on a given PoH state. These protocol-based rewards are determined through an algorithmic schedule as a function of total amount of Solana tokens staked in the system and duration since network launch (genesis block). Additionally, these clients may earn revenue through two types of transaction fees: state-validation transaction fees and pooled Proof-of-Replication (PoRep) transaction fees. The distribution of these two types of transaction fees to the participating validation set are designed independently as economic goals and attack vectors are unique between the state- generation/validation mechanism and the ledger replication/validation mechanism. For clarity, we separately describe the design and motivation of the three types of potential revenue streams for validation-clients below: state-validation protocol-based rewards, state-validation transaction fees and PoRep-validation transaction fees.

-### Replication-validation Transaction Fees
-
-As previously mentioned, validator-clients will also be responsible for validating PoReps submitted into the PoH stream by replicator-clients. In this case, validators are providing compute (CPU/GPU) and light storage resources to confirm that these replication proofs could only be generated by a client that is storing the referenced PoH leger block.2
-
-While replication-clients are incentivized and rewarded through protocol-based rewards schedule (see [Replication-client Economics](ed_replication_client_economics.md)), validator-clients will be incentivized to include and validate PoReps in PoH through the distribution of the transaction fees associated with the submitted PoRep. As will be described in detail in the Section 3.1, replication-client rewards are protocol-based and designed to reward based on a global data redundancy factor. I.e. the protocol will incentivize replication-client participation through rewards based on a target ledger redundancy (e.g. 10x data redundancy). It was chosen not to include a distribution of these rewards to PoRep validators, and to rely only on the collection of PoRep attached transaction fees, due to the fact that the confluence of two participation incentive modes (state-validation inflation rate via global staked % and replication-validation rewards based on global redundancy factor) on the incentives of a single network participant (a validator-client) potentially opened up a significant incentive-driven attack surface area.
-
-The validation of PoReps by validation-clients is computationally more expensive than state-validation (detail in the [Economic Sustainability](ed_economic_sustainability.md) chapter), thus the transaction fees are expected to be proportionally higher. However, because replication-client rewards are distributed in proportion to and only after submitted PoReps are validated, they are uniquely motivated for the inclusion and validation of their proofs. This pressure is expected to generate an adequate market economy between replication-clients and validation-clients. Additionally, transaction fees submitted with PoReps have no minimum amount pre-allocated to the mining pool, as do state-validation transaction fees.
-
-There are various attack vectors available for colluding validation and replication clients, as described in detail below in [Economic Sustainability](ed_economic_sustainability). To protect against various collusion attack vectors, for a given epoch, PoRep transaction fees are pooled, and redistributed across participating validation-clients in proportion to the number of validated PoReps in the epoch less the number of invalidated PoReps [DIAGRAM]. This design rewards validators proportional to the number of PoReps they process and validate, while providing negative pressure for validation-clients to submit lazy or malicious invalid votes on submitted PoReps (note that it is computationally prohibitive to determine whether a validator-client has marked a valid PoRep as invalid).

-### State-validation protocol-based rewards
-
-Validator-clients have two functional roles in the Solana network
-
-* Validate (vote) the current global state of that PoH along with any Proofs-of-Replication (see [Replication Client Economics](ed_replication_client_economics.md)) that they are eligible to validate
-
-* Be elected as ‘leader’ on a stake-weighted round-robin schedule during which time they are responsible for collecting outstanding transactions and Proofs-of-Replication and incorporating them into the PoH, thus updating the global state of the network and providing chain continuity.
-
-Validator-client rewards for these services are to be distributed at the end of each Solana epoch. Compensation for validator-clients is provided via a protocol-based annual interest rate dispersed in proportion to the stake-weight of each validator (see below) along with leader-claimed transaction fees available during each leader rotation. I.e. during the time a given validator-client is elected as leader, it has the opportunity to keep a portion of each non-PoRep transaction fee, less a protocol-specified amount that is returned to the mining pool (see [Validation-client State Transaction Fees](ed_vce_state_validation_transaction_fees.md)). PoRep transaction fees are not collected directly by the leader client but pooled and returned to the validator set in proportion to the number of successfully validated PoReps. (see [Replication-client Transaction Fees](ed_vce_replication_validation_transaction_fees.md))
-
-
-The protocol-based annual interest-rate (%) per epoch to be distributed to validation-clients is to be a function of:
-
-* the current fraction of staked SOLs out of the current total circulating supply,
-
-* the global time since the genesis block instantiation
-
-* the up-time/participation [% of available slots/blocks that validator had opportunity to vote on?] of a given validator over the previous epoch.
-
-The first two factors are protocol parameters only (i.e. independent of validator behavior in a given epoch) and describe a global validation reward schedule designed to both incentivize early participation and optimal security in the network. This schedule sets a maximum annual validator-client interest rate per epoch.
-
-At any given point in time, this interest rate is pegged to a defined value given a specific % staked SOL out of the circulating supply (e.g. 10% interest rate when 66% of circulating SOL is staked). The interest rate adjusts as the square-root [TBD] of the % staked, leading to higher validation-client interest rates as the % staked drops below the targeted goal, thus incentivizing more participation leading to more security in the network. An example of such a schedule, for a specified point in time (e.g. network launch) is shown in **Table 1**.
-
-| Percentage circulating supply staked [%] | Annual validator-client interest rate [%] |
-| ---:    | ---:      |
-| 5       | 13.87     |

-
-**Table 1:** Example interest rate schedule based on % SOL staked out of circulating supply. In this case, interest rates are fixed at 10% for 66% of staked circulating supply
-
-Over time, the interest rate, at any network staked percentage, will drop as described by an algorithmic schedule. Validation-client interest rates are designed to be higher in the early days of the network to incentivize participation and jumpstart the network economy. This mining-pool provided interest rate will reduce over time until a network-chosen baseline value is reached. This is a fixed, long-term, interest rate to be provided to validator-clients. This value does not represent the total interest available to validator-clients as transaction fees for both state-validation and ledger storage replication (PoReps) are not accounted for here. A validation-client interest rate schedule as a function of % network staked and time is shown in** Figure 2**.

-This epoch-specific protocol-defined interest rate sets an upper limit of *protocol-generated* annual interest rate (not absolute total interest rate) possible to be delivered to any validator-client per epoch. The distributed interest rate per epoch is then discounted from this value based on the participation of the validator-client during the previous epoch. Each epoch is comprised of XXX slots. The protocol-defined interest rate is then discounted by the log [TBD] of the % of slots a given validator submitted a vote on a PoH branch during that epoch, see **Figure XX**

-### State-validation Transaction Fees
-
-Each message sent through the network, to be processed by the current leader validation-client and confirmed as a global state transaction, must contain a transaction fee. Transaction fees offer many benefits in the Solana economic design, for example they:
-
-* provide unit compensation to the validator network for the CPU/GPU resources necessary to process the state transaction,
-
-* reduce network spam by introducing real cost to transactions,
-
-* open avenues for a transaction market to incentivize validation-client to collect and process submitted transactions in their function as leader,
-
-* and provide potential long-term economic stability of the network through a protocol-captured minimum fee amount per transaction, as described below.
-
-Many current blockchain economies (e.g. Bitcoin, Ethereum), rely on protocol-based rewards to support the economy in the short term, with the assumption that the revenue generated through transaction fees will support the economy in the long term, when the protocol derived rewards expire. In an attempt to create a sustainable economy through protocol-based rewards and transaction fees, a fixed portion of each transaction fee is sent to the mining pool, with the resulting fee going to the current leader processing the transaction. These pooled fees, then re-enter the system through rewards distributed to validation-clients, through the process described above, and replication-clients, as discussed below.
-
-The intent of this design is to retain leader incentive to include as many transactions as possible within the leader-slot time, while providing a redistribution avenue that protects against "tax evasion" attacks (i.e. side-channel fee payments)<sup>[1](ed_referenced.md)</sup>. Constraints on the fixed portion of transaction fees going to the mining pool, to establish long-term economic sustainability, are established and discussed in detail in the [Economic Sustainability](ed_economic_sustainability.md) section.
-
-This minimum, protocol-earmarked, portion of each transaction fee can be dynamically adjusted depending on historical gas usage. In this way, the protocol can use the minimum fee to target a desired hardware utilisation. By monitoring a protocol specified gas usage with respect to a desired, target usage amount (e.g. 50% of a block's capacity), the minimum fee can be raised/lowered which should, in turn, lower/raise the actual gas usage per block until it reaches the target amount. This adjustment process can be thought of as similar to the difficulty adjustment algorithm in the Bitcoin protocol, however in this case it is adjusting the minimum transaction fee to guide the transaction processing hardware usage to a desired level.
-
-Additionally, the minimum protocol captured fee can be a consideration in fork selection. In the case of a PoH fork with a  malicious, censoring leader, we would expect the total procotol captured fee to be less than a comparable honest fork, due to the fees lost from censoring. If the censoring leader is to compensate for these lost protocol fees, they would have to replace the fees on their fork themselves, thus potentially reducing the incentive to censor in the first place.

-# Fork Generation
-
-The chapter describes how forks naturally occur as a consequence of [leader
-rotation](leader-rotation.md).
-
-
-## Overview
-
-Nodes take turns being leader and generating the PoH that encodes state
-changes.  The cluster can tolerate loss of connection to any leader by
-synthesizing what the leader ***would*** have generated had it been connected
-but not ingesting any state changes.  The possible number of forks is thereby
-limited to a "there/not-there" skip list of forks that may arise on leader
-rotation slot boundaries.  At any given slot, only a single leader's
-transactions will be accepted.
-
-## Message Flow
-
-1. Transactions are ingested by the current leader.
-2. Leader filters valid transactions.
-3. Leader executes valid transactions updating its state.
-4. Leader packages transactions into entries based off its current PoH slot.
-5. Leader transmits the entries to validator nodes (in signed blobs)
-   1. The PoH stream includes ticks; empty entries that indicate liveness of
-      the leader and the passage of time on the cluster.
-   2. A leader's stream begins with the tick entries necessary complete the PoH
-      back to the leaders most recently observed prior leader slot.
-6. Validators retransmit entries to peers in their set and to further
-   downstream nodes.
-7. Validators validate the transactions and execute them on their state.
-8. Validators compute the hash of the state.
-9. At specific times, i.e. specific PoH tick counts, validators transmit votes
-   to the leader.
-   1. Votes are signatures of the hash of the computed state at that PoH tick
-      count
-   2. Votes are also propagated via gossip
-10. Leader executes the votes as any other transaction and broadcasts them to
-    the cluster.
-11. Validators observe their votes and all the votes from the cluster.
-
-## Partitions, Forks
-
-Forks can arise at PoH tick counts that correspond to a vote.  The next leader
-may not have observed the last vote slot and may start their slot with
-generated virtual PoH entries.  These empty ticks are generated by all nodes in
-the cluster at a cluster-configured rate for hashes/per/tick `Z`.
-
-There are only two possible versions of the PoH during a voting slot: PoH with
-`T` ticks and entries generated by the current leader, or PoH with just ticks.
-The "just ticks" version of the PoH can be thought of as a virtual ledger, one
-that all nodes in the cluster can derive from the last tick in the previous
-slot.
-
-Validators can ignore forks at other points (e.g. from the wrong leader), or
-slash the leader responsible for the fork.
-
-Validators vote based on a greedy choice to maximize their reward described in
-[forks selection](fork-selection.md).
-
-### Validator's View
-
-#### Time Progression
-
-The diagram below represents a validator's view of the
-PoH stream with possible forks over time.  L1, L2, etc. are leader slots, and
-`E`s represent entries from that leader during that leader's slot.  The `x`s
-represent ticks only, and time flows downwards in the diagram.
-
-
-<img alt="Fork generation" src="img/fork-generation.svg" class="center"/>
-
-Note that an `E` appearing on 2 forks at the same slot is a slashable
-condition, so a validator observing `E3` and `E3'` can slash L3 and safely
-choose `x` for that slot.  Once a validator commits to a forks, other forks can
-be discarded below that tick count.  For any slot, validators need only
-consider a single "has entries" chain or a "ticks only" chain to be proposed by
-a leader.  But multiple virtual entries may overlap as they link back to the a
-previous slot.
-
-#### Time Division
-
-It's useful to consider leader rotation over PoH tick count as time division of
-the job of encoding state for the cluster.  The following table presents the
-above tree of forks as a time-divided ledger.
-
-leader slot |  L1 | L2 | L3 | L4 | L5
--------|----|----|----|----|----
-data      |  E1| E2 | E3 | E4  | E5
-ticks since prev  | | | | x | xx
-
-Note that only data from leader L3 will be accepted during leader slot L3.
-Data from L3 may include "catchup" ticks back to a slot other than L2 if L3 did
-not observe L2's data.  L4 and L5's transmissions include the "ticks to prev"
-PoH entries.
-
-This arrangement of the network data streams permits nodes to save exactly this
-to the ledger for replay, restart, and checkpoints.
-
-### Leader's View
-
-When a new leader begins a slot, it must first transmit any PoH (ticks)
-required to link the new slot with the most recently observed and voted slot.
-The fork the leader proposes would link the current slot to a previous fork
-that the leader has voted on with virtual ticks.

-# Fork Selection
-
-This design describes a *Fork Selection* algorithm. It addresses the following
-problems:
-
-* Some forks may not end up accepted by the super-majority of the cluster, and
-voters need to recover from voting on such forks.
-
-* Many forks may be votable by different voters, and each voter may see a
-different set of votable forks.  The selected forks should eventually converge
-for the cluster.
-
-* Reward based votes have an associated risk.  Voters should have the ability to
-configure how much risk they take on.
-
-* The [cost of rollback](#cost-of-rollback) needs to be computable.  It is
-important to clients that rely on some measurable form of Consistency.  The
-costs to break consistency need to be computable, and increase super-linearly
-for older votes.
-
-* ASIC speeds are different between nodes, and attackers could employ Proof of
-History ASICS that are much faster than the rest of the cluster.  Consensus
-needs to be resistant to attacks that exploit the variability in Proof of
-History ASIC speed.
-
-For brevity this design assumes that a single voter with a stake is deployed as
-an individual validator in the cluster.
-
-## Time
-
-The Solana cluster generates a source of time via a Verifiable Delay Function we
-are calling [Proof of History](book/src/synchronization.md).
-
-Proof of History is used to create a deterministic round robin schedule for all
-the active leaders.  At any given time only 1 leader, which can be computed from
-the ledger itself, can propose a fork.  For more details, see [fork
-generation](fork-generation.md) and [leader rotation](leader-rotation.md).
-
-## Lockouts
-
-The purpose of the lockout is to force a validator to commit opportunity cost to
-a specific fork.  Lockouts are measured in slots, and therefor represent a
-real-time forced delay that a validator needs to wait before breaking the
-commitment to a fork.
-
-Validators that violate the lockouts and vote for a diverging fork within the
-lockout should be punished. The proposed punishment is to slash the validator
-stake if a concurrent vote within a lockout for a non-descendant fork can be
-proven to the cluster.
-
-## Algorithm
-
-The basic idea to this approach is to stack consensus votes and double lockouts.
-Each vote in the stack is a confirmation of a fork.  Each confirmed fork is an
-ancestor of the fork above it.  Each vote has a `lockout` in units of slots
-before the validator can submit a vote that does not contain the confirmed fork
-as an ancestor.
-
-When a vote is added to the stack, the lockouts of all the previous votes in the
-stack are doubled (more on this in [Rollback](#Rollback)).  With each new vote,
-a validator commits the previous votes to an ever-increasing lockout.  At 32
-votes we can consider the vote to be at `max lockout` any votes with a lockout
-equal to or above `1<<32` are dequeued (FIFO).  Dequeuing a vote is the trigger
-for a reward.  If a vote expires before it is dequeued, it and all the votes
-above it are popped (LIFO) from the vote stack.  The validator needs to start
-rebuilding the stack from that point.
-
-### Rollback
-
-Before a vote is pushed to the stack, all the votes leading up to vote with a
-lower lock time than the new vote are popped.  After rollback lockouts are not
-doubled until the validator catches up to the rollback height of votes.
-
-For example, a vote stack with the following state:
-
-| vote | vote time | lockout | lock expiration time |
-|-----:|----------:|--------:|---------------------:|
-|    4 |         4 |      2  |                    6 |
-|    3 |         3 |      4  |                    7 |
-|    2 |         2 |      8  |                   10 |
-|    1 |         1 |      16 |                   17 |
-
-*Vote 5* is at time 9, and the resulting state is
-
-| vote | vote time | lockout | lock expiration time |
-|-----:|----------:|--------:|---------------------:|
-|    5 |         9 |      2  |                   11 |
-|    2 |         2 |      8  |                   10 |
-|    1 |         1 |      16 |                   17 |
-
-*Vote 6* is at time 10
-
-| vote | vote time | lockout | lock expiration time |
-|-----:|----------:|--------:|---------------------:|
-|    6 |        10 |       2 |                   12 |
-|    5 |         9 |       4 |                   13 |
-|    2 |         2 |       8 |                   10 |
-|    1 |         1 |      16 |                   17 |
-
-At time 10 the new votes caught up to the previous votes.  But *vote 2* expires
-at 10, so the when *vote 7* at time 11 is applied the votes including and above
-*vote 2* will be popped.
-
-| vote | vote time | lockout | lock expiration time |
-|-----:|----------:|--------:|---------------------:|
-|    7 |        11 |       2 |                   13 |
-|    1 |         1 |      16 |                   17 |
-
-The lockout for vote 1 will not increase from 16 until the stack contains 5
-votes.
-
-### Slashing and Rewards
-
-Validators should be rewarded for selecting the fork that the rest of the
-cluster selected as often as possible.  This is well-aligned with generating a
-reward when the vote stack is full and the oldest vote needs to be dequeued.
-Thus a reward should be generated for each successful dequeue.
-
-### Cost of Rollback
-
-Cost of rollback of *fork A* is defined as the cost in terms of lockout time to
-the validator to confirm any other fork that does not include *fork A* as an
-ancestor.
-
-The **Economic Finality** of *fork A* can be calculated as the loss of all the
-rewards from rollback of *fork A* and its descendants, plus the opportunity cost
-of reward due to the exponentially growing lockout of the votes that have
-confirmed *fork A*.
-
-### Thresholds
-
-Each validator can independently set a threshold of cluster commitment to a fork
-before that validator commits to a fork.  For example, at vote stack index 7,
-the lockout is 256 time units.  A validator may withhold votes and let votes 0-7
-expire unless the vote at index 7 has at greater than 50% commitment in the
-cluster.  This allows each validator to independently control how much risk to
-commit to a fork.  Committing to forks at a higher frequency would allow the
-validator to earn more rewards.
-
-### Algorithm parameters
-
-The following parameters need to be tuned:
-
-* Number of votes in the stack before dequeue occurs (32).
-
-* Rate of growth for lockouts in the stack (2x).
-
-* Starting default lockout (2).
-
-* Threshold depth for minimum cluster commitment before committing to the fork
-(8).
-
-* Minimum cluster commitment size at threshold depth (50%+).
-
-### Free Choice
-
-A "Free Choice" is an unenforcible validator action.  There is no way for the
-protocol to encode and enforce these actions since each validator can modify the
-code and adjust the algorithm.  A validator that maximizes self-reward over all
-possible futures should behave in such a way that the system is stable, and the
-local greedy choice should result in a greedy choice over all possible futures.
-A set of validator that are engaging in choices to disrupt the protocol should
-be bound by their stake weight to the denial of service.  Two options exits for
-validator:
-
-* a validator can outrun previous validator in virtual generation and submit a
-  concurrent fork
-
-* a validator can withhold a vote to observe multiple forks before voting
-
-In both cases, the validator in the cluster have several forks to pick from
-concurrently, even though each fork represents a different height.  In both
-cases it is impossible for the protocol to detect if the validator behavior is
-intentional or not.
-
-### Greedy Choice for Concurrent Forks
-
-When evaluating multiple forks, each validator should use the following rules:
-
-1. Forks must satisfy the *Threshold* rule.
-
-2. Pick the fork that maximizes the total cluster lockout time for all the
-ancestor forks.
-
-3. Pick the fork that has the greatest amount of cluster transaction fees.
-
-4. Pick the latest fork in terms of PoH.
-
-Cluster transaction fees are fees that are deposited to the mining pool as
-described in the [Staking Rewards](book/src/staking-rewards.md) section.
-
-## PoH ASIC Resistance
-
-Votes and lockouts grow exponentially while ASIC speed up is linear.  There are
-two possible attack vectors involving a faster ASIC.
-
-### ASIC censorship
-
-An attacker generates a concurrent fork that outruns previous leaders in an
-effort to censor them. A fork proposed by this attacker will be available
-concurrently with the next available leader.  For nodes to pick this fork it
-must satisfy the *Greedy Choice* rule.
-
-1. Fork must have equal number of votes for the ancestor fork.
-
-2. Fork cannot be so far a head as to cause expired votes.
-
-3. Fork must have a greater amount of cluster transaction fees.
-
-This attack is then limited to censoring the previous leaders fees, and
-individual transactions.  But it cannot halt the cluster, or reduce the
-validator set compared to the concurrent fork.  Fee censorship is limited to
-access fees going to the leaders but not the validators.
-
-### ASIC Rollback
-
-An attacker generates a concurrent fork from an older block to try to rollback
-the cluster.  In this attack the concurrent fork is competing with forks that
-have already been voted on.  This attack is limited by the exponential growth of
-the lockouts.
-
-* 1 vote has a lockout of 2 slots.  Concurrent fork must be at least 2 slots
-ahead, and be produced in 1 slot. Therefore requires an ASIC 2x faster.
-
-* 2 votes have a lockout of 4 slots.  Concurrent fork must be at least 4 slots
-ahead and produced in 2 slots. Therefore requires an ASIC 2x faster.
-
-* 3 votes have a lockout of 8 slots.  Concurrent fork must be at least 8 slots
-ahead and produced in 3 slots. Therefore requires an ASIC 2.6x faster.
-
-* 10 votes have a lockout of 1024 slots.  1024/10, or 102.4x faster ASIC.
-
-* 20 votes have a lockout of 2^20 slots.  2^20/20, or 52,428.8x faster ASIC.

-## Pipelining
-
-The fullnodes make extensive use of an optimization common in CPU design,
-called *pipelining*.  Pipelining is the right tool for the job when there's a
-stream of input data that needs to be processed by a sequence of steps, and
-there's different hardware responsible for each. The quintessential example is
-using a washer and dryer to wash/dry/fold several loads of laundry. Washing
-must occur before drying and drying before folding, but each of the three
-operations is performed by a separate unit. To maximize efficiency, one creates
-a pipeline of *stages*. We'll call the washer one stage, the dryer another, and
-the folding process a third. To run the pipeline, one adds a second load of
-laundry to the washer just after the first load is added to the dryer.
-Likewise, the third load is added to the washer after the second is in the
-dryer and the first is being folded. In this way, one can make progress on
-three loads of laundry simultaneously. Given infinite loads, the pipeline will
-consistently complete a load at the rate of the slowest stage in the pipeline.
-
-## Pipelining in the Fullnode
-
-The fullnode contains two pipelined processes, one used in leader mode called
-the TPU and one used in validator mode called the TVU. In both cases, the
-hardware being pipelined is the same, the network input, the GPU cards, the CPU
-cores, writes to disk, and the network output.  What it does with that hardware
-is different.  The TPU exists to create ledger entries whereas the TVU exists
-to validate them.

-# Getting Started
-
-The Solana git repository contains all the scripts you might need to spin up your
-own local testnet. Depending on what you're looking to achieve, you may want to
-run a different variation, as the full-fledged, performance-enhanced
-multinode testnet is considerably more complex to set up than a Rust-only,
-singlenode testnode.  If you are looking to develop high-level features, such
-as experimenting with smart contracts, save yourself some setup headaches and
-stick to the Rust-only singlenode demo.  If you're doing performance optimization
-of the transaction pipeline, consider the enhanced singlenode demo. If you're
-doing consensus work, you'll need at least a Rust-only multinode demo. If you want
-to reproduce our TPS metrics, run the enhanced multinode demo.
-
-For all four variations, you'd need the latest Rust toolchain and the Solana
-source code:
-
-First, install Rust's package manager Cargo.
-
-```bash
-$ curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
-$ source $HOME/.cargo/env
-```
-
-Now checkout the code from github:
-
-```bash
-$ git clone https://github.com/solana-labs/solana.git
-$ cd solana
-```
-
-The demo code is sometimes broken between releases as we add new low-level
-features, so if this is your first time running the demo, you'll improve
-your odds of success if you check out the
-[latest release](https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/releases)
-before proceeding:
-
-```bash
-$ TAG=$(git describe --tags $(git rev-list --tags --max-count=1))
-$ git checkout $TAG
-```
-
-### Configuration Setup
-
-Ensure important programs such as the vote program are built before any
-nodes are started
-```bash
-$ cargo build --all
-```
-
-The network is initialized with a genesis ledger and fullnode configuration files.
-These files can be generated by running the following script.
-
-```bash
-$ ./multinode-demo/setup.sh
-```
-
-### Drone
-
-In order for the fullnodes and clients to work, we'll need to
-spin up a drone to give out some test tokens.  The drone delivers Milton
-Friedman-style "air drops" (free tokens to requesting clients) to be used in
-test transactions.
-
-Start the drone with:
-
-```bash
-$ ./multinode-demo/drone.sh
-```
-
-### Singlenode Testnet
-
-Before you start a fullnode, make sure you know the IP address of the machine you
-want to be the bootstrap leader for the demo, and make sure that udp ports 8000-10000 are
-open on all the machines you want to test with.
-
-Now start the bootstrap leader in a separate shell:
-
-```bash
-$ ./multinode-demo/bootstrap-leader.sh
-```
-
-Wait a few seconds for the server to initialize. It will print "leader ready..." when it's ready to
-receive transactions. The leader will request some tokens from the drone if it doesn't have any.
-The drone does not need to be running for subsequent leader starts.
-
-### Multinode Testnet
-
-To run a multinode testnet, after starting a leader node, spin up some
-additional full nodes in separate shells:
-
-```bash
-$ ./multinode-demo/fullnode-x.sh
-```
-
-To run a performance-enhanced full node on Linux,
-[CUDA 10.0](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads) must be installed on
-your system:
-
-```bash
-$ ./fetch-perf-libs.sh
-$ SOLANA_CUDA=1 ./multinode-demo/bootstrap-leader.sh
-$ SOLANA_CUDA=1 ./multinode-demo/fullnode-x.sh
-```
-
-### Testnet Client Demo
-
-Now that your singlenode or multinode testnet is up and running let's send it
-some transactions!
-
-In a separate shell start the client:
-
-```bash
-$ ./multinode-demo/client.sh # runs against localhost by default
-```
-
-What just happened? The client demo spins up several threads to send 500,000 transactions
-to the testnet as quickly as it can. The client then pings the testnet periodically to see
-how many transactions it processed in that time. Take note that the demo intentionally
-floods the network with UDP packets, such that the network will almost certainly drop a
-bunch of them. This ensures the testnet has an opportunity to reach 710k TPS. The client
-demo completes after it has convinced itself the testnet won't process any additional
-transactions. You should see several TPS measurements printed to the screen. In the
-multinode variation, you'll see TPS measurements for each validator node as well.
-
-### Testnet Debugging
-
-There are some useful debug messages in the code, you can enable them on a per-module and per-level
-basis.  Before running a leader or validator set the normal RUST\_LOG environment variable.
-
-For example
-
-* To enable `info` everywhere and `debug` only in the solana::banking_stage module:
-
-  ```bash
-  $ export RUST_LOG=solana=info,solana::banking_stage=debug
-  ```
-
-* To enable BPF program logging:
-
-  ```bash
-  $ export RUST_LOG=solana_bpf_loader=trace
-  ```
-
-Generally we are using `debug` for infrequent debug messages, `trace` for potentially frequent
-messages and `info` for performance-related logging.
-
-You can also attach to a running process with GDB.  The leader's process is named
-_solana-fullnode_:
-
-```bash
-$ sudo gdb
-attach <PID>
-set logging on
-thread apply all bt
-```
-
-This will dump all the threads stack traces into gdb.txt
-
-## Public Testnet
-
-In this example the client connects to our public testnet. To run validators on the testnet you would need to open udp ports `8000-10000`.
-
-```bash
-$ ./multinode-demo/client.sh --network testnet.solana.com:8001 --duration 60
-```
-
-You can observe the effects of your client's transactions on our [dashboard](https://metrics.solana.com:3000/d/testnet/testnet-hud?orgId=2&from=now-30m&to=now&refresh=5s&var-testnet=testnet)

-# Gossip Service
-
-The Gossip Service acts as a gateway to nodes in the control plane. Fullnodes
-use the service to ensure information is available to all other nodes in a cluster.
-The service broadcasts information using a gossip protocol.
-
-## Gossip Overview
-
-Nodes continuously share signed data objects among themselves in order to
-manage a cluster. For example, they share their contact information, ledger
-height, and votes.
-
-Every tenth of a second, each node sends a "push" message and/or a "pull"
-message.  Push and pull messages may elicit responses, and push messages may be
-forwarded on to others in the cluster.
-
-Gossip runs on a well-known UDP/IP port or a port in a well-known range.  Once
-a cluster is bootstrapped, nodes advertise to each other where to find their
-gossip endpoint (a socket address).

-## Gossip Records
-
-Records shared over gossip are arbitrary, but signed and versioned (with a
-timestamp) as needed to make sense to the node receiving them. If a node
-recieves two records from the same source, it it updates its own copy with the
-record with the most recent timestamp.
-
-## Gossip Service Interface
-
-### Push Message
-
-A node sends a push message to tells the cluster it has information to share.
-Nodes send push messages to `PUSH_FANOUT` push peers.
-
-Upon receiving a push message, a node examines the message for:
-
-1. Duplication: if the message has been seen before, the node responds with
-   `PushMessagePrune` and drops the message
-
-2. New data: if the message is new to the node
-   * Stores the new information with an updated version in its cluster info and
-     purges any previous older value
-   * Stores the message in `pushed_once` (used for detecting duplicates,
-     purged after `PUSH_MSG_TIMEOUT * 5` ms)
-   * Retransmits the messages to its own push peers
-
-3. Expiration: nodes drop push messages that are older than `PUSH_MSG_TIMEOUT`
-
-### Push Peers, Prune Message
-
-A nodes selects its push peers at random from the active set of known peers.
-The node keeps this selection for a relatively long time.  When a prune message
-is received, the node drops the push peer that sent the prune.  Prune is an
-indication that there is another, faster path to that node than direct push.
-
-The set of push peers is kept fresh by rotating a new node into the set every
-`PUSH_MSG_TIMEOUT/2` milliseconds.
-
-### Pull Message
-
-A node sends a pull message to ask the cluster if there is any new information.
-A pull message is sent to a single peer at random and comprises a Bloom filter
-that represents things it already has.  A node receiving a pull message
-iterates over its values and constructs a pull response of things that miss the
-filter and would fit in a message.
-
-A node constructs the pull Bloom filter by iterating over current values and
-recently purged values.
-
-A node handles items in a pull response the same way it handles new data in a
-push message.
-
-
-## Purging
-
-Nodes retain prior versions of values (those updated by a pull or push) and
-expired values (those older than `GOSSIP_PULL_CRDS_TIMEOUT_MS`) in
-`purged_values` (things I recently had).  Nodes purge `purged_values` that are
-older than `5 * GOSSIP_PULL_CRDS_TIMEOUT_MS`.
-
-## Eclipse Attacks
-
-An eclipse attack is an attempt to take over the set of node connections with
-adversarial endpoints.
-
-This is relevant to our implementation in the following ways.
-
-* Pull messages select a random node from the network.  An eclipse attack on
-*pull* would require an attacker to influence the random selection in such a way
-that only adversarial nodes are selected for pull.
-
-* Push messages maintain an active set of nodes and select a random fanout for
-every push message.  An eclipse attack on *push* would influence the active set
-selection, or the random fanout selection.
-
-### Time and Stake based weights
-
-Weights are calculated based on `time since last picked` and the `natural log` of the `stake weight`.
-
-Taking the `ln` of the stake weight allows giving all nodes a fairer chance of network
-coverage in a reasonable amount of time. It helps normalize the large possible `stake weight` differences between nodes.
-This way a node with low `stake weight`, compared to a node with large `stake weight` will only have to wait a
-few multiples of ln(`stake`) seconds before it gets picked.
-
-There is no way for an adversary to influence these parameters.
-
-### Pull Message
-
-A node is selected as a pull target based on the weights described above.
-
-### Push Message
-
-A prune message can only remove an adversary from a potential connection.
-
-Just like *pull message*, nodes are selected into the active set based on weights.
-
-## Notable differences from PlumTree
-
-The active push protocol described here is based on (Plum
-Tree)[https://haslab.uminho.pt/jop/files/lpr07a.pdf].  The main differences are:
-
-* Push messages have a wallclock that is signed by the originator.  Once the
-wallclock expires the message is dropped.  A hop limit is difficult to implement
-in an adversarial setting.
-
-* Lazy Push is not implemented because its not obvious how to prevent an
-adversary from forging the message fingerprint.  A naive approach would allow an
-adversary to be prioritized for pull based on their input.

-# What is Solana?
-
-Solana is the name of an open source project that is implementing a new,
-high-performance, permissionless blockchain. Solana is also the name of a
-company headquartered in San Francisco that maintains the open source project.
-
-# About this Book
-
-This book describes the Solana open source project, a blockchain built from the
-ground up for scale. The book covers why it's useful, how to use it, how it
-works, and why it will continue to work long after the company Solana closes
-its doors. The goal of the Solana architecture is to demonstrate there exists a
-set of software algorithms that when used in combination to implement a
-blockchain, removes software as a performance bottleneck, allowing transaction
-throughput to scale proportionally with network bandwidth. The architecture
-goes on to satisfy all three desirable properties of a proper blockchain: 
-it is scalable, secure and decentralized.
-
-The architecture describes a theoretical upper bound of 710 thousand
-transactions per second (tps) on a standard gigabit network and 28.4 million
-tps on 40 gigabit. Furthermore, the architecture supports safe, concurrent
-execution of programs authored in general purpose programming languages such as
-C or Rust.
-
-# Disclaimer
-
-All claims, content, designs, algorithms, estimates, roadmaps, specifications,
-and performance measurements described in this project are done with the
-author's best effort. It is up to the reader to check and validate their
-accuracy and truthfulness. Furthermore, nothing in this project constitutes a
-solicitation for investment.
-
-# History of the Solana Codebase
-
-In November of 2017, Anatoly Yakovenko published a whitepaper describing Proof
-of History, a technique for keeping time between computers that do not trust
-one another. From Anatoly's previous experience designing distributed systems
-at Qualcomm, Mesosphere and Dropbox, he knew that a reliable clock makes
-network synchronization very simple. When synchronization is simple the
-resulting network can be blazing fast, bound only by network bandwidth.
-
-Anatoly watched as blockchain systems without clocks, such as Bitcoin and
-Ethereum, struggled to scale beyond 15 transactions per second worldwide when
-centralized payment systems such as Visa required peaks of 65,000 tps. Without a
-clock, it was clear they'd never graduate to being the global payment system or
-global supercomputer most had dreamed them to be. When Anatoly solved the problem of
-getting computers that don’t trust each other to agree on time, he knew he had
-the key to bring 40 years of distributed systems research to the world of
-blockchain. The resulting cluster wouldn't be just 10 times faster, or a 100
-times, or a 1,000 times, but 10,000 times faster, right out of the gate!
-
-Anatoly's implementation began in a private codebase and was implemented in the
-C programming language. Greg Fitzgerald, who had previously worked with Anatoly
-at semiconductor giant Qualcomm Incorporated, encouraged him to reimplement the
-project in the Rust programming language. Greg had worked on the LLVM compiler
-infrastructure, which underlies both the Clang C/C++ compiler as well as the
-Rust compiler. Greg claimed that the language's safety guarantees would improve
-software productivity and that its lack of a garbage collector would allow
-programs to perform as well as those written in C.  Anatoly gave it a shot and
-just two weeks later, had migrated his entire codebase to Rust. Sold.  With
-plans to weave all the world's transactions together on a single, scalable
-blockchain, Anatoly called the project Loom.
-
-On February 13th of 2018, Greg began prototyping the first open source
-implementation of Anatoly's whitepaper. The project was published to GitHub
-under the name Silk in the loomprotocol organization. On February 28th, Greg
-made his first release, demonstrating 10 thousand signed transactions could be
-verified and processed in just over half a second. Shortly after, another
-former Qualcomm cohort, Stephen Akridge, demonstrated throughput could be
-massively improved by offloading signature verification to graphics processors.
-Anatoly recruited Greg, Stephen and three others to co-found a company, then
-called Loom.
-
-Around the same time, Ethereum-based project Loom Network sprung up and many
-people were confused about whether they were the same project. The Loom team decided it
-would rebrand. They chose the name Solana, a nod to a small beach town North of
-San Diego called Solana Beach, where Anatoly, Greg and Stephen lived and surfed
-for three years when they worked for Qualcomm. On March 28th, the team created
-the Solana Labs GitHub organization and renamed Greg's prototype Silk to
-Solana.
-
-In June of 2018, the team scaled up the technology to run on cloud-based
-networks and on July 19th, published a 50-node, permissioned, public testnet
-consistently supporting bursts of 250,000 transactions per second. In a later release in 
-December, called v0.10 Pillbox, the team published a permissioned testnet
-running 150 nodes on a gigabit network and demonstrated soak tests processing
-an *average* of 200 thousand transactions per second with bursts over 500
-thousand. The project was also extended to support on-chain programs written in
-the C programming language and run concurrently in a safe execution environment
-called BPF. 
-
-# What is a Solana Cluster?
-
-A cluster is a set of computers that work together and can be viewed from the
-outside as a single system. A Solana cluster is a set of independently owned
-computers working together (and sometimes against each other) to verify the
-output of untrusted, user-submitted programs. A Solana cluster can be utilized
-any time a user wants to preserve an immutable record of events in time or
-programmatic interpretations of those events. One use is to track which of the
-computers did meaningful work to keep the cluster running. Another use might be
-to track the possession of real-world assets. In each case, the cluster
-produces a record of events called the ledger. It will be preserved for the
-lifetime of the cluster. As long as someone somewhere in the world maintains a
-copy of the ledger, the output of its programs (which may contain a record of
-who possesses what) will forever be reproducible, independent of the
-organization that launched it.
-
-# What are Sols?
-
-A sol is the name of Solana's native token, which can be passed to nodes in a
-Solana cluster in exchange for running an on-chain program or validating its
-output. The Solana protocol defines that only 1 billion sols will ever exist,
-but that the system may perform micropayments of fractional sols, and that a sol
-may be split as many as 34 times. The fractional sol is called a *lamport*. It
-is named in honor of Solana's biggest technical influence, [Leslie
-Lamport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leslie_Lamport). A lamport has a value
-of approximately 0.0000000000582 sol (2^-34).

-# Leader to Leader Transition
-
-This design describes how leaders transition production of the PoH ledger
-between each other as each leader generates its own slot.
-
-## Challenges
-
-Current leader and the next leader are both racing to generate the final tick
-for the current slot.  The next leader may arrive at that slot while still
-processing the current leader's entries.
-
-The ideal scenario would be that the next leader generated its own slot right
-after it was able to vote for the current leader.  It is very likely that the
-next leader will arrive at their PoH slot height before the current leader
-finishes broadcasting the entire block.
-
-The next leader has to make the decision of attaching its own block to the last
-completed block, or wait to finalize the pending block.  It is possible that the
-next leader will produce a block that proposes that the current leader failed,
-even though the rest of the network observes that block succeeding.
-
-The current leader has incentives to start its slot as early as possible to
-capture economic rewards.  Those incentives need to be balanced by the leader's
-need to attach its block to a block that has the most commitment from the rest
-of the network.
-
-## Leader timeout
-
-While a leader is actively receiving entries for the previous slot, the leader
-can delay broadcasting the start of its block in real time.  The delay is
-locally configurable by each leader, and can be dynamically based on the
-previous leader's behavior.  If the previous leader's block is confirmed by the
-leader's TVU before the timeout, the PoH is reset to the start of the slot and
-this leader produces its block immediately.
-
-The downsides:
-
-* Leader delays its own slot, potentially allowing the next leader more time to
-catch up.
-
-The upsides compared to guards:
-
-* All the space in a block is used for entries.
-
-* The timeout is not fixed.
-
-* The timeout is local to the leader, and therefore can be clever.  The leader's
-heuristic can take into account avalanche performance.
-
-* This design doesn't require a ledger hard fork to update.
-
-* The previous leader can redundantly transmit the last entry in the block to
-the next leader, and the next leader can speculatively decide to trust it to
-generate its block without verification of the previous block.
-
-* The leader can speculatively generate the last tick from the last received
-entry.
-
-* The leader can speculatively process transactions and guess which ones are not
-going to be encoded by the previous leader.  This is also a censorship attack
-vector.  The current leader may withhold transactions that it receives from the
-clients so it can encode them into its own slot. Once processed, entries can be
-replayed into PoH quickly.
-
-## Alternative design options
-
-### Guard tick at the end of the slot
-
-A leader does not produce entries in its block after the *penultimate tick*,
-which is the last tick before the first tick of the next slot.  The network
-votes on the *last tick*, so the time difference between the *penultimate tick*
-and the *last tick* is the forced delay for the entire network, as well as the
-next leader before a new slot can be generated.  The network can produce the
-*last tick* from the *penultimate tick*.
-
-If the next leader receives the *penultimate tick* before it produces its own
-*first tick*, it will reset its PoH and produce the *first tick* from the
-previous leader's *penultimate tick*.  The rest of the network will also reset
-its PoH to produce the *last tick* as the id to vote on.
-
-The downsides:
-
-* Every vote, and therefore confirmation, is delayed by a fixed timeout. 1 tick,
-or around 100ms.
-
-* Average case confirmation time for a transaction would be at least 50ms worse.
-
-* It is part of the ledger definition, so to change this behavior would require
-a hard fork.
-
-* Not all the available space is used for entries.
-
-The upsides compared to leader timeout:
-
-* The next leader has received all the previous entries, so it can start
-processing transactions without recording them into PoH.
-
-* The previous leader can redundantly transmit the last entry containing the
-*penultimate tick* to the next leader.  The next leader can speculatively
-generate the *last tick* as soon as it receives the *penultimate tick*, even
-before verifying it.

-# Leader Rotation
-
-At any given moment, a cluster expects only one fullnode to produce ledger
-entries. By having only one leader at a time, all validators are able to replay
-identical copies of the ledger. The drawback of only one leader at a time,
-however, is that a malicious leader is capable of censoring votes and
-transactions. Since censoring cannot be distinguished from the network dropping
-packets, the cluster cannot simply elect a single node to hold the leader role
-indefinitely. Instead, the cluster minimizes the influence of a malicious
-leader by rotating which node takes the lead.
-
-Each validator selects the expected leader using the same algorithm, described
-below. When the validator receives a new signed ledger entry, it can be certain
-that entry was produced by the expected leader.  The order of slots which each
-leader is assigned a slot is called a *leader schedule*.
-
-## Leader Schedule Rotation
-
-A validator rejects blocks that are not signed by the *slot leader*.  The list
-of identities of all slot leaders is called a *leader schedule*. The leader
-schedule is recomputed locally and periodically. It assigns slot leaders for a
-duration of time called an _epoch_. The schedule must be computed far in advance
-of the slots it assigns, such that the ledger state it uses to compute the
-schedule is finalized. That duration is called the *leader schedule offset*.
-Solana sets the offset to the duration of slots until the next epoch. That is,
-the leader schedule for an epoch is calculated from the ledger state at the
-start of the previous epoch. The offset of one epoch is fairly arbitrary and
-assumed to be sufficiently long such that all validators will have finalized
-their ledger state before the next schedule is generated. A cluster may choose
-to shorten the offset to reduce the time between stake changes and leader
-schedule updates.
-
-While operating without partitions lasting longer than an epoch, the schedule
-only needs to be generated when the root fork crosses the epoch boundary.  Since
-the schedule is for the next epoch, any new stakes committed to the root fork
-will not be active until the next epoch.  The block used for generating the
-leader schedule is the first block to cross the epoch boundary.
-
-Without a partition lasting longer than an epoch, the cluster will work as
-follows:
-
-1. A validator continuously updates its own root fork as it votes.
-
-2. The validator updates its leader schedule each time the slot height crosses
-an epoch boundary.
-
-For example:
-
-The epoch duration is 100 slots. The root fork is updated from fork computed at
-slot height 99 to a fork computed at slot height 102. Forks with slots at height
-100,101 were skipped because of failures.  The new leader schedule is computed
-using fork at slot height 102.  It is active from slot 200 until it is updated
-again.
-
-No inconsistency can exist because every validator that is voting with the
-cluster has skipped 100 and 101 when its root passes 102.  All validators,
-regardless of voting pattern, would be committing to a root that is either 102,
-or a descendant of 102.
-
-### Leader Schedule Rotation with Epoch Sized Partitions.
-
-The duration of the leader schedule offset has a direct relationship to the
-likelihood of a cluster having an inconsistent view of the correct leader
-schedule.
-
-Consider the following scenario:
-
-Two partitions that are generating half of the blocks each.  Neither is coming
-to a definitive supermajority fork.  Both will cross epoch 100 and 200 without
-actually committing to a root and therefore a cluster wide commitment to a new
-leader schedule.
-
-In this unstable scenario, multiple valid leader schedules exist.
-
-* A leader schedule is generated for every fork whose direct parent is in the
-previous epoch.
-
-* The leader schedule is valid after the start of the next epoch for descendant
-forks until it is updated.
-
-Each partition's schedule will diverge after the partition lasts more than an
-epoch.  For this reason, the epoch duration should be selected to be much much
-larger then slot time and the expected length for a fork to be committed to
-root.
-
-After observing the cluster for a sufficient amount of time, the leader schedule
-offset can be selected based on the median partition duration and its standard
-deviation.  For example, an offset longer then the median partition duration
-plus six standard deviations would reduce the likelihood of an inconsistent
-ledger schedule in the cluster to 1 in 1 million.
- 
-## Leader Schedule Generation at Genesis
-
-The genesis block declares the first leader for the first epoch.  This leader
-ends up scheduled for the first two epochs because the leader schedule is also
-generated at slot 0 for the next epoch.  The length of the first two epochs can
-be specified in the genesis block as well.  The minimum length of the first
-epochs must be greater than or equal to the maximum rollback depth as defined in
-[fork selection](fork-selection.md).
-
-## Leader Schedule Generation Algorithm
-
-Leader schedule is generated using a predefined seed.  The process is as follows:
-
-1. Periodically use the PoH tick height (a monotonically increasing counter) to
-   seed a stable pseudo-random algorithm.
-2. At that height, sample the bank for all the staked accounts with leader
-   identities that have voted within a cluster-configured number of ticks. The
-   sample is called the *active set*.
-3. Sort the active set by stake weight.
-4. Use the random seed to select nodes weighted by stake to create a
-   stake-weighted ordering.
-5. This ordering becomes valid after a cluster-configured number of ticks.
-
-## Schedule Attack Vectors
-
-### Seed
-
-The seed that is selected is predictable but unbiasable.  There is no grinding
-attack to influence its outcome. 
-
-### Active Set
-
-A leader can bias the active set by censoring validator votes.  Two possible
-ways exist for leaders to censor the active set:
-
-* Ignore votes from validators 
-* Refuse to vote for blocks with votes from validators
-
-To reduce the likelihood of censorship, the active set is calculated at the
-leader schedule offset boundary over an *active set sampling duration*. The
-active set sampling duration is long enough such that votes will have been
-collected by multiple leaders.
-
-### Staking
-
-Leaders can censor new staking transactions or refuse to validate blocks with
-new stakes.  This attack is similar to censorship of validator votes.
-
-### Validator operational key loss
-
-Leaders and validators are expected to use ephemeral keys for operation, and
-stake owners authorize the validators to do work with their stake via
-delegation.
-
-The cluster should be able to recover from the loss of all the ephemeral keys
-used by leaders and validators, which could occur through a common software
-vulnerability shared by all the nodes.  Stake owners should be able to vote
-directly co-sign a validator vote even though the stake is currently delegated
-to a validator.
-
-## Appending Entries
-
-The lifetime of a leader schedule is called an *epoch*. The epoch is split into
-*slots*, where each slot has a duration of `T` PoH ticks.
-
-A leader transmits entries during its slot.  After `T` ticks, all the
-validators switch to the next scheduled leader. Validators must ignore entries
-sent outside a leader's assigned slot.
-
-All `T` ticks must be observed by the next leader for it to build its own
-entries on. If entries are not observed (leader is down) or entries are invalid
-(leader is buggy or malicious), the next leader must produce ticks to fill the
-previous leader's slot. Note that the next leader should do repair requests in
-parallel, and postpone sending ticks until it is confident other validators
-also failed to observe the previous leader's entries. If a leader incorrectly
-builds on its own ticks, the leader following it must replace all its ticks.

-# Leader-to-Validator Transition
-
-A fullnode typically operates as a validator. If, however, a staker delegates
-its stake to a fullnode, it will occasionally be selected as a *slot leader*.
-As a slot leader, the fullnode is responsible for producing blocks during an
-assigned *slot*. A slot has a duration of some number of preconfigured *ticks*.
-The duration of those ticks are estimated with a *PoH Recorder* described later
-in this document.
-
-## BankFork
-
-BankFork tracks changes to the bank state over a specific slot.  Once the final
-tick has been registered the state is frozen. Any attempts to write to are
-rejected.
-
-## Validator
-
-A validator operates on many different concurrent forks of the bank state until
-it generates a PoH hash with a height within its leader slot.
-
-## Slot Leader
-
-A slot leader builds blocks on top of only one fork, the one it last voted on.
-
-## PoH Recorder
-
-Slot leaders and validators use a PoH Recorder for both estimating slot height
-and for recording transactions.
-
-### PoH Recorder when Validating
-
-The PoH Recorder acts as a simple VDF when validating. It tells the validator
-when it needs to switch to the slot leader role. Every time the validator votes
-on a fork, it should use the fork's latest block id to re-seed the VDF.
-Re-seeding solves two problems. First, it synchronizes its VDF to the leader's,
-allowing it to more accurately determine when its leader slot begins. Second,
-if the previous leader goes down, all wallclock time is accounted for in the
-next leader's PoH stream. For example, if one block is missing when the leader
-starts, the block it produces should have a PoH duration of two blocks. The
-longer duration ensures the following leader isn't attempting to snip all the
-transactions from the previous leader's slot.
-
-### PoH Recorder when Leading
-
-A slot leader use the PoH Recorder to record transactions, locking their
-positions in time. The PoH hash must be derived from a previous leader's last
-block.  If it isn't, its block will fail PoH verification and be rejected by
-the cluster.
-
-The PoH Recorder also serves to inform the slot leader when its slot is over.
-The leader needs to take care not to modify its bank if recording the
-transaction would generate a PoH height outside its designated slot.  The
-leader, therefore, should not commit account changes until after it generates
-the entry's PoH hash. When the PoH height falls outside its slot any
-transactions in its pipeline may be dropped or forwarded to the next leader.
-Forwarding is preferred, as it would minimize network congestion, allowing the
-cluster to advertise higher TPS capacity.
-
-
-## Fullnode Loop
-
-The PoH Recorder manages the transition between modes. Once a ledger is
-replayed, the validator can run until the recorder indicates it should be
-the slot leader. As a slot leader, the node can then execute and record
-transactions.
-
-The loop is synchronized to PoH and does a synchronous start and stop of the
-slot leader functionality. After stopping, the validator's TVU should find
-itself in the same state as if a different leader had sent it the same block.
-The following is pseudocode for the loop:
-
-1. Query the LeaderScheduler for the next assigned slot.
-2. Run the TVU over all the forks.
-   1. TVU will send votes to what it believes is the "best" fork.
-   2. After each vote, restart the PoH Recorder to run until the next assigned
-slot.
-3. When time to be a slot leader, start the TPU. Point it to the last fork the
-   TVU voted on.
-4. Produce entries until the end of the slot.
-   1. For the duration of the slot, the TVU must not vote on other forks.
-   2. After the slot ends, the TPU freezes its BankFork. After freezing,
-      the TVU may resume voting.
-5. Goto 1.

-Replication behavior yet to be implemented.
-
-### Validator behavior
-
-3. Every NUM\_KEY\_ROTATION\_TICKS it also validates samples received from
-replicators. It signs the PoH hash at that point and uses the following
-algorithm with the signature as the input:
-     - The low 5 bits of the first byte of the signature creates an index into
-       another starting byte of the signature.
-     - The validator then looks at the set of storage proofs where the byte of
-       the proof's sha state vector starting from the low byte matches exactly
-with the chosen byte(s) of the signature.
-     - If the set of proofs is larger than the validator can handle, then it
-       increases to matching 2 bytes in the signature.
-     - Validator continues to increase the number of matching bytes until a
-       workable set is found.
-     - It then creates a mask of valid proofs and fake proofs and sends it to
-       the leader. This is a storage proof confirmation transaction.
-5. After a lockout period of NUM\_SECONDS\_STORAGE\_LOCKOUT seconds, the
-validator then submits a storage proof claim transaction which then causes the
-distribution of the storage reward if no challenges were seen for the proof to
-the validators and replicators party to the proofs.
-
-### Replicator behavior
-
-9. The replicator then generates another set of offsets which it submits a fake
-proof with an incorrect sha state. It can be proven to be fake by providing the
-seed for the hash result.
-     - A fake proof should consist of a replicator hash of a signature of a PoH
-       value. That way when the replicator reveals the fake proof, it can be
-verified on chain.
-10. The replicator monitors the ledger, if it sees a fake proof integrated, it
-creates a challenge transaction and submits it to the current leader. The
-transacation proves the validator incorrectly validated a fake storage proof.
-The replicator is rewarded and the validator's staking balance is slashed or
-frozen.

-# Ledger Replication
-
-At full capacity on a 1gbps network solana will generate 4 petabytes of data
-per year.  To prevent the network from centralizing around full nodes that have
-to store the full data set this protocol proposes a way for mining nodes to
-provide storage capacity for pieces of the network.
-
-The basic idea to Proof of Replication is encrypting a dataset with a public
-symmetric key using CBC encryption, then hash the encrypted dataset. The main
-problem with the naive approach is that a dishonest storage node can stream the
-encryption and delete the data as its hashed. The simple solution is to force
-the hash to be done on the reverse of the encryption, or perhaps with a random
-order. This ensures that all the data is present during the generation of the
-proof and it also requires the validator to have the entirety of the encrypted
-data present for verification of every proof of every identity. So the space
-required to validate is `number_of_proofs * data_size`
-
-## Optimization with PoH
-
-Our improvement on this approach is to randomly sample the encrypted segments
-faster than it takes to encrypt, and record the hash of those samples into the
-PoH ledger. Thus the segments stay in the exact same order for every PoRep and
-verification can stream the data and verify all the proofs in a single batch.
-This way we can verify multiple proofs concurrently, each one on its own CUDA
-core. The total space required for verification is `1_ledger_segment +
-2_cbc_blocks * number_of_identities` with core count equal to
-`number_of_identities`. We use a 64-byte chacha CBC block size.
-
-## Network
-
-Validators for PoRep are the same validators that are verifying transactions.
-They have some stake that they have put up as collateral that ensures that
-their work is honest. If you can prove that a validator verified a fake PoRep,
-then the validators stake can be slashed.
-
-Replicators are specialized *light clients*. They download a part of the ledger
-and store it, and provide PoReps of storing the ledger. For each verified PoRep
-replicators earn a reward of sol from the mining pool.
-
-## Constraints
-
-We have the following constraints:
-* Verification requires generating the CBC blocks. That requires space of 2
-  blocks per identity, and 1 CUDA core per identity for the same dataset. So as
-many identities at once should be batched with as many proofs for those
-identities verified concurrently for the same dataset.
-* Validators will randomly sample the set of storage proofs to the set that
-  they can handle, and only the creators of those chosen proofs will be
-rewarded. The validator can run a benchmark whenever its hardware configuration
-changes to determine what rate it can validate storage proofs.
-
-## Validation and Replication Protocol
-
-### Constants
-
-1. NUM\_STORAGE\_ENTRIES: Number of entries in a segment of ledger data. The
-unit of storage for a replicator.
-2. NUM\_KEY\_ROTATION\_TICKS: Number of ticks to save a PoH value and cause a
-key generation for the section of ledger just generated and the rotation of
-another key in the set.
-3. NUM\_STORAGE\_PROOFS: Number of storage proofs required for a storage proof
-claim to be successfully rewarded.
-4. RATIO\_OF\_FAKE\_PROOFS: Ratio of fake proofs to real proofs that a storage
-mining proof claim has to contain to be valid for a reward.
-5. NUM\_STORAGE\_SAMPLES: Number of samples required for a storage mining
-proof.
-6. NUM\_CHACHA\_ROUNDS: Number of encryption rounds performed to generate
-encrypted state.
-
-### Validator behavior
-
-1. Validator joins the network and submits a storage validation capacity
-transaction which tells the network how many proofs it can process in a given
-period defined by NUM\_KEY\_ROTATION\_TICKS.
-2. Every NUM\_KEY\_ROTATION\_TICKS the validator stores the PoH value at that
-height.
-3. Validator generates a storage proof confirmation transaction.
-4. The storage proof confirmation transaction is integrated into the ledger.
-6. Validator responds to RPC interfaces for what the last storage epoch PoH
-value is and its entry\_height.
-
-### Replicator behavior
-
-1. Since a replicator is somewhat of a light client and not downloading all the
-ledger data, they have to rely on other full nodes (validators) for
-information. Any given validator may or may not be malicious and give incorrect
-information, although there are not any obvious attack vectors that this could
-accomplish besides having the replicator do extra wasted work.  For many of the
-operations there are a number of options depending on how paranoid a replicator
-is:
-    - (a) replicator can ask a validator
-    - (b) replicator can ask multiple validators
-    - (c) replicator can subscribe to the full transaction stream and generate
-      the information itself
-    - (d) replicator can subscribe to an abbreviated transaction stream to
-      generate the information itself
-2. A replicator obtains the PoH hash corresponding to the last key rotation
-along with its entry\_height.
-3. The replicator signs the PoH hash with its keypair. That signature is the
-seed used to pick the segment to replicate and also the encryption key. The
-replicator mods the signature with the entry\_height to get which segment to
-replicate.
-4. The replicator retrives the ledger by asking peer validators and
-replicators. See 6.5.
-5. The replicator then encrypts that segment with the key with chacha algorithm
-in CBC mode with NUM\_CHACHA\_ROUNDS of encryption.
-6. The replicator initializes a chacha rng with the signature from step 2 as
-the seed.
-7. The replicator generates NUM\_STORAGE\_SAMPLES samples in the range of the
-entry size and samples the encrypted segment with sha256 for 32-bytes at each
-offset value. Sampling the state should be faster than generating the encrypted
-segment.
-8. The replicator sends a PoRep proof transaction which contains its sha state
-at the end of the sampling operation, its seed and the samples it used to the
-current leader and it is put onto the ledger.
-
-
-### Finding who has a given block of ledger
-
-1. Validators monitor the transaction stream for storage mining proofs, and
-keep a mapping of ledger segments by entry\_height to public keys. When it sees
-a storage mining proof it updates this mapping and provides an RPC interface
-which takes an entry\_height and hands back a list of public keys.  The client
-then looks up in their cluster\_info table to see which network address that
-corresponds to and sends a repair request to retrieve the necessary blocks of
-ledger.
-2. Validators would need to prune this list which it could do by periodically
-looking at the oldest entries in its mappings and doing a network query to see
-if the storage host is still serving the first entry.
-
-## Sybil attacks
-
-For any random seed, we force everyone to use a signature that is derived from
-a PoH hash. Everyone must use the same count, so the same PoH hash is signed by
-every participant. The signatures are then each cryptographically tied to the
-keypair, which prevents a leader from grinding on the resulting value for more
-than 1 identity.
-
-Since there are many more client identities then encryption identities, we need
-to split the reward for multiple clients, and prevent Sybil attacks from
-generating many clients to acquire the same block of data. To remain BFT we
-want to avoid a single human entity from storing all the replications of a
-single chunk of the ledger.
-
-Our solution to this is to force the clients to continue using the same
-identity. If the first round is used to acquire the same block for many client
-identities, the second round for the same client identities will force a
-redistribution of the signatures, and therefore PoRep identities and blocks.
-Thus to get a reward for replicators need to store the first block for free and
-the network can reward long lived client identities more than new ones.
-
-## Validator attacks
-
-- If a validator approves fake proofs, replicator can easily out them by
-  showing the initial state for the hash.
-- If a validator marks real proofs as fake, no on-chain computation can be done
-  to distinguish who is correct. Rewards would have to rely on the results from
-multiple validators in a stake-weighted fashion to catch bad actors and
-replicators from being locked out of the network.
-- Validator stealing mining proof results for itself. The proofs are derived
-  from a signature from a replicator, since the validator does not know the
-private key used to generate the encryption key, it cannot be the generator of
-the proof.
-
-## Reward incentives
-
-Fake proofs are easy to generate but difficult to verify. For this reason,
-PoRep proof transactions generated by replicators may require a higher fee than
-a normal transaction to represent the computational cost required by
-validators.
-
-Some percentage of fake proofs are also necessary to receive a reward from
-storage mining.
-
-## Notes
-
-* We can reduce the costs of verification of PoRep by using PoH, and actually
-  make it feasible to verify a large number of proofs for a global dataset.
-* We can eliminate grinding by forcing everyone to sign the same PoH hash and
-  use the signatures as the seed
-* The game between validators and replicators is over random blocks and random
-  encryption identities and random data samples. The goal of randomization is
-to prevent colluding groups from having overlap on data or validation.
-* Replicator clients fish for lazy validators by submitting fake proofs that
-  they can prove are fake.
-* To defend against Sybil client identities that try to store the same block we
-  force the clients to store for multiple rounds before receiving a reward.
-* Validators should also get rewarded for validating submitted storage proofs
-  as incentive for storing the ledger. They can only validate proofs if they
-are storing that slice of the ledger.

-# Managing Forks in the Ledger
-
-The ledger is permitted to fork at slot boundaries. The resulting data
-structure forms a tree called a *blocktree*. When the fullnode interprets the
-blocktree, it must maintain state for each fork in the chain. We call each
-instance an *active fork*.  It is the responsibility of a fullnode to weigh
-those forks, such that it may eventually select a fork.
-
-A fullnode selects a fork by submiting a vote to a slot leader on that fork.
-The vote commits the fullnode for a duration of time called a *lockout period*.
-The fullnode is not permitted to vote on a different fork until that lockout
-period expires. Each subsequent vote on the same fork doubles the length of the
-lockout period. After some cluster-configured number of votes (currently 32),
-the length of the lockout period reaches what's called *max lockout*. Until the
-max lockout is reached, the fullnode has the option to wait until the lockout
-period is over and then vote on another fork. When it votes on another fork, it
-performs a operation called *rollback*, whereby the state rolls back in time to
-a shared checkpoint and then jumps forward to the tip of the fork that it just
-voted on. The maximum distance that a fork may roll back is called the
-*rollback depth*. Rollback depth is the number of votes required to achieve
-max lockout. Whenever a fullnode votes, any checkpoints beyond the rollback
-depth become unreachable. That is, there is no scenario in which the fullnode
-will need to roll back beyond rollback depth. It therefore may safely *prune*
-unreachable forks and *squash* all checkpoints beyond rollback depth into the
-root checkpoint.
-
-## Active Forks
-
-An active fork is as a sequence of checkpoints that has a length at least one
-longer than the rollback depth. The shortest fork will have a length exactly
-one longer than the rollback depth.  For example:
-
-<img alt="Forks" src="img/forks.svg" class="center"/>
-
-The following sequences are *active forks*:
-
-* {4, 2, 1}
-* {5, 2, 1}
-* {6, 3, 1}
-* {7, 3, 1}
-
-## Pruning and Squashing
-
-A fullnode may vote on any checkpoint in the tree.  In the diagram above,
-that's every node except the leaves of the tree.  After voting, the fullnode
-prunes nodes that fork from a distance farther than the rollback depth and then
-takes the opportunity to minimize its memory usage by squashing any nodes it
-can into the root.
-
-Starting from the example above, wth a rollback depth of 2, consider a vote on
-5 versus a vote on 6. First, a vote on 5:
-
-<img alt="Forks after pruning" src="img/forks-pruned.svg" class="center"/>
-
-The new root is 2, and any active forks that are not descendants from 2 are
-pruned.
-
-Alternatively, a vote on 6:
-
-<img alt="Forks" src="img/forks-pruned2.svg" class="center"/>
-
-The tree remains with a root of 1, since the active fork starting at 6 is only
-2 checkpoints from the root.

-# Stake Delegation and Reward
-
-This design proposal focuses on the software architecture for the on-chain
-voting and staking programs.  Incentives for staking is covered in [staking
-rewards](staking-rewards.md).
-
-The current architecture requires a vote for each delegated stake from the
-validator, and therefore does not scale to allow replicator clients to
-automatically delegate their rewards.
-
-The design proposes a new set of programs for voting and stake delegation, The
-proposed programs allow many stake accounts to passively earn rewards with a
-single validator vote without permission or active involvement from the
-validator.
-
-## Current Design Problems
-
-In the current design each staker creates their own VoteState, and assigns a
-**delegate** in the VoteState that can submit votes.  Since the validator has to
-actively vote for each stake delegated to it, validators can censor stakes by
-not voting for them.
-
-The number of votes is equal to the number of stakers, and not the number of
-validators.  Replicator clients are expected to delegate their replication
-rewards as they are earned, and therefore the number of stakes is expected to be
-large compared to the number of validators in a long running cluster.
-
-## Proposed changes to the current design.
-
-The general idea is that instead of the staker, the validator will own the
-VoteState program. In this proposal the VoteState program is there to track
-validator votes, count validator generated credits and to provide any
-additional validator specific state.  The VoteState program is not aware of any
-stakes delegated to it, and has no staking weight.
-
-The rewards generated are proportional to the amount of lamports staked.  In
-this proposal stake state is stored as part of the StakeState program. This
-program is owned by the staker only.  Lamports stored in this program are the
-stake.  Unlike the current design, this program contains a new field to indicate
-which VoteState program the stake is delegated to.
-
-### VoteState
-
-VoteState is the current state of all the votes the **delegate** has submitted
-to the bank.  VoteState contains the following state information:
-
-* votes - The submitted votes data structure.
-
-* credits - The total number of rewards this vote program has generated over its
-lifetime.
-
-* root\_slot - The last slot to reach the full lockout commitment necessary for
-rewards.
-
-* commission - The commission taken by this VoteState for any rewards claimed by
-staker's StakeState accounts.  This is the percentage ceiling of the reward.
-
-* Account::lamports - The accumulated lamports from the commission.  These do not
-count as stakes.
-
-* `authorized_vote_signer` - Only this identity is authorized to submit votes, and
-this field can only modified by this entity
-
-### VoteInstruction::Initialize
-
-* `account[0]` - RW - The VoteState
-  `VoteState::authorized_vote_signer` is initialized to `account[0]`
-   other VoteState members defaulted
-
-### VoteInstruction::AuthorizeVoteSigner(Pubkey)
-
-* `account[0]` - RW - The VoteState
-  `VoteState::authorized_vote_signer` is set to to `Pubkey`, instruction must by
-   signed by Pubkey
-
-
-### StakeState
-
-A StakeState takes one of two forms, StakeState::Delegate and StakeState::MiningPool.
-
-### StakeState::Delegate
-
-StakeState is the current delegation preference of the **staker**. StakeState
-contains the following state information:
-
-* Account::lamports - The staked lamports.
-
-* `voter_id` - The pubkey of the VoteState instance the lamports are
-delegated to.
-
-* `credits_observed` - The total credits claimed over the lifetime of the
-program.
-
-### StakeState::MiningPool
-
-There are two approaches to the mining pool.  The bank could allow the
-StakeState program to bypass the token balance check, or a program representing
-the mining pool could run on the network.  To avoid a single network wide lock,
-the pool can be split into several mining pools.  This design focuses on using a
-StakeState::MiningPool as the cluster wide mining pools.
-
-* 256 StakeState::MiningPool are initialized, each with 1/256 number of mining pool
-tokens stored as `Account::lamports`.
-
-The stakes and the MiningPool are accounts that are owned by the same `Stake`
-program.
-
-### StakeInstruction::Initialize
-
-* `account[0]` - RW - The StakeState::Delegate instance.
-  `StakeState::Delegate::credits_observed` is initialized to `VoteState::credits`.
-  `StakeState::Delegate::voter_id` is initialized to `account[1]`
-
-* `account[1]` - R - The VoteState instance.
-
-### StakeInstruction::RedeemVoteCredits
-
-The VoteState program and the StakeState programs maintain a lifetime counter
-of total rewards generated and claimed.  Therefore an explicit `Clear`
-instruction is not necessary.  When claiming rewards, the total lamports
-deposited into the StakeState and as validator commission is proportional to
-`VoteState::credits - StakeState::credits_observed`.
-
-
-* `account[0]` - RW - The StakeState::MiningPool instance that will fulfill the
-reward.
-* `account[1]` - RW - The StakeState::Delegate instance that is redeeming votes
-credits.
-* `account[2]` - R - The VoteState instance, must be the same as
-`StakeState::voter_id`
-
-Reward is payed out for the difference between `VoteState::credits` to
-`StakeState::Delgate.credits_observed`, and `credits_observed` is updated to
-`VoteState::credits`.  The commission is deposited into the `VoteState` token
-balance, and the reward is deposited to the `StakeState::Delegate` token balance.  The
-reward and the commission is weighted by the `StakeState::lamports` divided by total lamports staked.
-
-The Staker or the owner of the Stake program sends a transaction with this
-instruction to claim the reward.
-
-Any random MiningPool can be used to redeem the credits.
-
-```rust,ignore
-let credits_to_claim = vote_state.credits - stake_state.credits_observed;
-stake_state.credits_observed = vote_state.credits;
-```
-
-`credits_to_claim` is used to compute the reward and commission, and
-`StakeState::Delegate::credits_observed` is updated to the latest
-`VoteState::credits` value.
-
-### Collecting network fees into the MiningPool
-
-At the end of the block, before the bank is frozen, but after it processed all
-the transactions for the block, a virtual instruction is executed to collect
-the transaction fees.
-
-* A portion of the fees are deposited into the leader's account.
-* A portion of the fees are deposited into the smallest StakeState::MiningPool
-account.
-
-### Benefits
-
-* Single vote for all the stakers.
-
-* Clearing of the credit variable is not necessary for claiming rewards.
-
-* Each delegated stake can claim its rewards independently.
-
-* Commission for the work is deposited when a reward is claimed by the delegated
-stake.
-
-This proposal would benefit from the `read-only` accounts proposal to allow for
-many rewards to be claimed concurrently.
-
-## Passive Delegation
-
-Any number of instances of StakeState::Delegate programs can delegate to a single
-VoteState program without an interactive action from the identity controlling
-the VoteState program or submitting votes to the program.
-
-The total stake allocated to a VoteState program can be calculated by the sum of
-all the StakeState programs that have the VoteState pubkey as the
-`StakeState::Delegate::voter_id`.
-
-## Example Callflow
-
-<img alt="Passive Staking Callflow" src="img/passive-staking-callflow.svg" class="center"/>
-
-## Future work
-
-Validators may want to split the stake delegated to them amongst many validator
-nodes since stake is used as weight in the network control and data planes.  One
-way to implement this would be for the StakeState to delegate to a pool of
-validators instead of a single one.
-
-Instead of a single `vote_id` and `credits_observed` entry in the StakeState
-program, the program can be initialized with a vector of tuples.
-
-```rust,ignore
-Voter {
-    voter_id: Pubkey,
-    credits_observed: u64,
-    weight: u8,
-}
-```
-
-* voters: Vec<Voter> - Array of VoteState accounts that are voting rewards with
-this stake.
-
-A StakeState program would claim a fraction of the reward from each voter in
-the `voters` array, and each voter would be delegated a fraction of the stake.

-# Persistent Account Storage
-
-The set of Accounts represent the current computed state of all the transactions
-that have been processed by a fullnode.  Each fullnode needs to maintain this
-entire set.  Each block that is proposed by the network represents a change to
-this set, and since each block is a potential rollback point the changes need to
-be reversible.
-
-Persistent storage like NVMEs are 20 to 40 times cheaper than DDR.  The problem
-with persistent storage is that write and read performance is much slower than
-DDR and care must be taken in how data is read or written to.  Both reads and
-writes can be split between multiple storage drives and accessed in parallel.
-This design proposes a data structure that allows for concurrent reads and
-concurrent writes of storage.   Writes are optimized by using an AppendVec data
-structure, which allows a single writer to append while allowing access to many
-concurrent readers.  The accounts index maintains a pointer to a spot where the
-account was appended to every fork, thus removing the need for explicit
-checkpointing of state.
-
-# AppendVec
-
-AppendVec is a data structure that allows for random reads concurrent with a
-single append-only writer.  Growing or resizing the capacity of the AppendVec
-requires exclusive access.  This is implemented with an atomic `offset`, which
-is updated at the end of a completed append.
-
-The underlying memory for an AppendVec is a memory-mapped file.  Memory-mapped
-files allow for fast random access and paging is handled by the OS.
-
-# Account Index
-
-The account index is designed to support a single index for all the currently
-forked Accounts.
-
-```rust,ignore
-type AppendVecId = usize;
-
-type Fork = u64;
-
-struct AccountMap(Hashmap<Fork, (AppendVecId, u64)>);
-
-type AccountIndex = HashMap<Pubkey, AccountMap>;
-
-```
-
-The index is a map of account Pubkeys to a map of Forks and the location of the
-Account data in an AppendVec.  To get the version of an account for a specific Fork:
-
-```rust,ignore
-/// Load the account for the pubkey.
-/// This function will load the account from the specified fork, falling back to the fork's parents
-/// * fork - a virtual Accounts instance, keyed by Fork.  Accounts keep track of their parents with Forks,
-///       the persistent store
-/// * pubkey - The Account's public key.
-pub fn load_slow(&self, id: Fork, pubkey: &Pubkey) -> Option<&Account>
-```
-
-The read is satisfied by pointing to a memory-mapped location in the
-`AppendVecId` at the stored offset.  A reference can be returned without a copy.
-
-## Root Forks
-
-The [fork selection algorithm](fork-selection.md) eventually selects a fork as a
-root fork and the fork is squashed.  A squashed/root fork cannot be rolled back.
-
-When a fork is squashed, all accounts in its parents not already present in the
-fork are pulled up into the fork by updating the indexes.  Accounts with zero
-balance in the squashed fork are removed from fork by updating the indexes.
-
-An account can be *garbage-collected* when squashing makes it unreachable.
-
-Three possible options exist:
-
-* Maintain a HashSet<u64> of root forks.  One is expected to be created every
-second.  The entire tree can be garbage-collected later. Alternatively, if
-every fork keeps a reference count of accounts, garbage collection could occur
-any time an index location is updated.
-
-* Remove any pruned forks from the index.  Any remaining forks lower in number
-than the root are can be considered root.
-
-* Scan the index, migrate any old roots into the new one.   Any remaining forks
-lower than the new root can be deleted later.
-
-# Append-only Writes
-
-All the updates to Accounts occur as append-only updates.  For every account
-update, a new version is stored in the AppendVec.
-
-It is possible to optimize updates within a single fork by returning a mutable
-reference to an already stored account in a fork.  The Bank already tracks
-concurrent access of accounts and guarantees that a write to a specific account
-fork will not be concurrent with a read to an account at that fork. To support
-this operation, AppendVec should implement this function:
-
-```rust,ignore
-fn get_mut(&self, index: u64) -> &mut T;
-```
-
-This API allows for concurrent mutable access to a memory region at `index`.  It
-relies on the Bank to guarantee exclusive access to that index.
-
-# Garbage collection
-
-As accounts get updated, they move to the end of the AppendVec.  Once capacity
-has run out, a new AppendVec can be created and updates can be stored there.
-Eventually references to an older AppendVec will disappear because all the
-accounts have been updated, and the old AppendVec can be deleted.
-
-To speed up this process, it's possible to move Accounts that have not been
-recently updated to the front of a new AppendVec.  This form of garbage
-collection can be done without requiring exclusive locks to any of the data
-structures except for the index update.
-
-The initial implementation for garbage collection is that once all the accounts in
-an AppendVec become stale versions, it gets reused. The accounts are not updated
-or moved around once appended.
-
-# Index Recovery
-
-Each bank thread has exclusive access to the accounts during append, since the
-accounts locks cannot be released until the data is committed. But there is no
-explicit order of writes between the separate AppendVec files.  To create an
-ordering, the index maintains an atomic write version counter.  Each append to
-the AppendVec records the index write version number for that append in the
-entry for the Account in the AppendVec.
-
-To recover the index, all the AppendVec files can be read in any order, and the
-latest write version for every fork should be stored in the index.
-
-# Snapshots
-
-To snapshot, the underlying memory-mapped files in the AppendVec need to be
-flushed to disk.  The index can be written out to disk as well.
-
-# Performance
-
-* Append-only writes are fast.  SSDs and NVMEs, as well as all the OS level
-kernel data structures, allow for appends to run as fast as PCI or NVMe bandwidth
-will allow (2,700 MB/s).
-
-* Each replay and banking thread writes concurrently to its own AppendVec.
-
-* Each AppendVec could potentially be hosted on a separate NVMe.
-
-* Each replay and banking thread has concurrent read access to all the
-AppendVecs without blocking writes.
-
-* Index requires an exclusive write lock for writes.  Single-thread performance
-for HashMap updates is on the order of 10m per second.
-
-* Banking and Replay stages should use 32 threads per NVMe.  NVMes have
-optimal performance with 32 concurrent readers or writers.

-# Programming Model
-
-A client *app* interacts with a Solana cluster by sending it *transactions*
-with one or more *instructions*. The Solana *runtime* passes those instructions
-to user-contributed *programs*. An instruction might, for example, tell a
-program to move *lamports* from one *account* to another or create an interactive
-contract that governs how lamports are moved. Instructions are executed
-atomically. If any instruction is invalid, any changes made within the
-transaction are discarded.
-
-## Deploying Programs to a Cluster
-
-<img alt="SDK tools" src="img/sdk-tools.svg" class="center"/>
-
-As shown in the diagram above a client creates a program and compiles it to an
-ELF shared object containing BPF bytecode and sends it to the Solana cluster.
-The cluster stores the program locally and makes it available to clients via a
-*program ID*. The program ID is a *public key* generated by the client and is
-used to reference the program in subsequent transactions.
-
-A program may be written in any programming language that can target the
-Berkley Packet Filter (BPF) safe execution environment. The Solana SDK offers
-the best support for C programs, which is compiled to BPF using the [LLVM
-compiler infrastructure](https://llvm.org).
-
-## Storing State between Transactions
-
-If the program needs to store state between transactions, it does so using
-*accounts*. Accounts are similar to files in operating systems such as Linux.
-Like a file, an account may hold arbitrary data and that data persists beyond
-the lifetime of a program. Also like a file, an account includes metadata that
-tells the runtime who is allowed to access the data and how. Unlike a file, the
-account includes metadata for the lifetime of the file. That lifetime is
-expressed in "tokens", which is a number of fractional native tokens, called
-*lamports*. Accounts are held in validator memory and pay "rent" to stay there.
-Each fullnode periodically scan all accounts and collects rent. Any account
-that drops to zero lamports is purged.
-
-If an account is marked "executable", it will only be used by a *loader* to run
-programs. For example, a BPF-compiled program is marked executable and loaded
-by the BPF loader. No program is allowed to modify the contents of an
-executable account.
-
-An account also includes "owner" metadata. The owner is a program ID. The
-runtime grants the program write access to the account if its ID matches the
-owner. If an account is not owned by a program, the program is permitted to
-read its data and credit the account.
-
-In the same way that a Linux user uses a path to look up a file, a Solana
-client uses public keys to look up accounts. To create an account, the client
-generates a *keypair* and registers its public key using the CreateAccount
-instruction. Once registered, transactions reference account keys to grant
-programs access to accounts. The runtime grants programs read access by
-default. To grant write access, the client must either assign the account to a
-program or sign the transaction using the keypair's *secret key*. Since only
-the holder of the secret key can produce valid signatures matching the
-account's public key, the runtime recognizes the signature as authorization to
-modify account data or debit the account.
-
-After the runtime executes each of the transaction's instructions, it uses the
-account metadata and transaction signatures to verify that none of the access
-rules were violated. If a program violates an access rule, the runtime discards
-all account changes made by all instructions and marks the transaction as
-failed.

-# Reliable Vote Transmission
-
-Validator votes are messages that have a critical function for consensus and
-continuous operation of the network. Therefore it is critical that they are
-reliably delivered and encoded into the ledger.
-
-## Challenges
-
-1. Leader rotation is triggered by PoH, which is clock with high drift.  So many
-nodes are likely to have an incorrect view if the next leader is active in
-realtime or not.
-
-2. The next leader may be easily be flooded.  Thus a DDOS would not only prevent
-delivery of regular transactions, but also consensus messages.
-
-3. UDP is unreliable, and our asynchronous protocol requires any message that is
-transmitted to be retransmitted until it is observed in the ledger.
-Retransmittion could potentially cause an unintentional *thundering herd*
-against the leader with a large number of validators.  Worst case flood would be
-`(num_nodes * num_retransmits)`.
-
-4. Tracking if the vote has been transmitted or not via the ledger does not
-guarantee it will appear in a confirmed block.  The current observed block may
-be unrolled. Validators would need to maintain state for each vote and fork.

-1. Send votes as a push message through gossip.  This ensures delivery of the
-vote to all the next leaders, not just the next future one.
-
-2. Leaders will read the Crds table for new votes and encode any new received
-votes into the blocks they propose.  This allows for validator votes to be
-included in rollback forks by all the future leaders.
-
-3. Validators that receive votes in the ledger will add them to their local crds
-table, not as a push request, but simply add them to the table.  This shortcuts
-the push message protocol, so the validation messages do not need to be
-retransmitted twice around the network.
-
-4. CrdsValue for vote should look like this ``` Votes(Vec<Transaction>) ```
-
-Each vote transaction should maintain a `wallclock` in its data.  The merge
-strategy for Votes will keep the last N set of votes as configured by the local
-client.  For push/pull the vector is traversed recursively and each Transaction
-is treated as an individual CrdsValue with its own local wallclock and
-signature.
-
-Gossip is designed for efficient propagation of state.  Messages that are sent
-through gossip-push are batched and propagated with a minimum spanning tree to
-the rest of the network. Any partial failures in the tree are actively repaired
-with the gossip-pull protocol while minimizing the amount of data transfered
-between any nodes.
-
-
-## How this design solves the Challenges
-
-1. Because there is no easy way for validators to be in sync with leaders on the
-leader's "active" state, gossip allows for eventual delivery regardless of that
-state.
-
-2. Gossip will deliver the messages to all the subsequent leaders, so if the
-current leader is flooded the next leader would have already received these
-votes and is able to encode them.
-
-3. Gossip minimizes the number of requests through the network by maintaining an
-efficient spanning tree, and using bloom filters to repair state.  So retransmit
-back-off is not necessary and messages are batched.
-
-4. Leaders that read the crds table for votes will encode all the new valid
-votes that appear in the table.  Even if this leader's block is unrolled, the
-next leader will try to add the same votes without any additional work done by
-the validator.  Thus ensuring not only eventual delivery, but eventual encoding
-into the ledger.
-
-
-## Performance
-
-1. Worst case propagation time to the next leader is Log(N) hops with a base
-depending on the fanout.  With our current default fanout of 6, it is about 6
-hops to 20k nodes.
-
-2. The leader should receive 20k validation votes aggregated by gossip-push into
-64kb blobs. Which would reduce the number of packets for 20k network to 80
-blobs.
-
-3. Each validators votes is replicated across the entire network.  To maintain a
-queue of 5 previous votes the Crds table would grow by 25 megabytes.  `(20,000
-nodes * 256 bytes * 5)`.
-
-## Two step implementation rollout
-
-Initially the network can perform reliably with just 1 vote transmitted and
-maintained through the network with the current Vote implementation.  For small
-networks a fanout of 6 is sufficient.  With small network the memory and push
-overhead is minor.
-
-### Sub 1k validator network
-
-1. Crds just maintains the validators latest vote.
-
-2. Votes are pushed and retransmitted regardless if they are appearing in the
-ledger.
-
-3. Fanout of 6.
-
-* Worst case 256kb memory overhead per node.
-* Worst case 4 hops to propagate to every node.
-* Leader should receive the entire validator vote set in 4 push message blobs.
-
-### Sub 20k network
-
-Everything above plus the following:
-
-1. CRDS table maintains a vector of 5 latest validator votes.
-
-2. Votes encode a wallclock.  CrdsValue::Votes is a type that recurses into the
-transaction vector for all the gossip protocols.
-
-3. Increase fanout to 20.
-
-* Worst case 25mb memory overhead per node.
-* Sub 4 hops worst case to deliver to the entire network.
-* 80 blobs received by the leader for all the validator messages.

-# The Runtime
-
-The runtime is a concurrent transaction processor. Transactions specify their
-data dependencies upfront and dynamic memory allocation is explicit. By
-separating program code from the state it operates on, the runtime is able to
-choreograph concurrent access. Transactions accessing only credit-only
-accounts are executed in parallel whereas transactions accessing writable
-accounts are serialized.  The runtime interacts with the program through an
-entrypoint with a well-defined interface.  The data stored in an account is
-an opaque type, an array of bytes. The program has full control over its
-contents.
-
-The transaction structure specifies a list of public keys and signatures for
-those keys and a sequential list of instructions that will operate over the
-states associated with the account keys.  For the transaction to be committed
-all the instructions must execute successfully; if any abort the whole
-transaction fails to commit.
-
-### Account Structure
-
-Accounts maintain a lamport balance and program-specific memory.
-
-# Transaction Engine
-
-The engine maps public keys to accounts and routes them to the program's
-entrypoint.
-
-## Execution
-
-Transactions are batched and processed in a pipeline.  The TPU and TVU follow a
-slightly different path.  The TPU runtime ensures that PoH record occurs before
-memory is committed.
-
-The TVU runtime ensures that PoH verification occurs before the runtime
-processes any transactions.
-
-<img alt="Runtime pipeline" src="img/runtime.svg" class="center"/>
-
-At the *execute* stage, the loaded accounts have no data dependencies, so all the
-programs can be executed in parallel.
-
-The runtime enforces the following rules:
-
-1. Only the *owner* program may modify the contents of an account.  This means
-that upon assignment data vector is guaranteed to be zero.
-
-2. Total balances on all the accounts is equal before and after execution of a
-transaction.
-
-3. After the transaction is executed, balances of credit-only accounts must be
-greater than or equal to the balances before the transaction.
-
-4. All instructions in the transaction executed atomically. If one fails, all
-account modifications are discarded.
-
-Execution of the program involves mapping the program's public key to an
-entrypoint which takes a pointer to the transaction, and an array of loaded
-accounts.
-
-## SystemProgram Interface
-
-The interface is best described by the `Instruction::data` that the user
-encodes.
-
-* `CreateAccount` - This allows the user to create an account with an allocated
-data array and assign it to a Program.
-
-* `Assign` - Allows the user to assign an existing account to a program.
-
-* `Move`  - Moves lamports between accounts.
-
-## Program State Security
-
-For blockchain to function correctly, the program code must be resilient to user
-inputs.  That is why in this design the program specific code is the only code
-that can change the state of the data byte array in the Accounts that are
-assigned to it.  It is also the reason why `Assign` or `CreateAccount` must zero
-out the data.  Otherwise there would be no possible way for the program to
-distinguish the recently assigned account data from a natively generated
-state transition without some additional metadata from the runtime to indicate
-that this memory is assigned instead of natively generated.
-
-To pass messages between programs, the receiving program must accept the message
-and copy the state over.  But in practice a copy isn't needed and is
-undesirable. The receiving program can read the state belonging to other
-Accounts without copying it, and during the read it has a guarantee of the
-sender program's state.
-
-## Notes
-
-* There is no dynamic memory allocation.  Client's need to use `CreateAccount`
-instructions to create memory before passing it to another program.  This
-instruction can be composed into a single transaction with the call to the
-program itself.
-
-* `CreateAccount` and `Assign` guarantee that when account is assigned to the
-program, the Account's data is zero initialized.
-
-* Once assigned to program an Account cannot be reassigned.
-
-* Runtime guarantees that a program's code is the only code that can modify
-Account data that the Account is assigned to.
-
-* Runtime guarantees that the program can only spend lamports that are in
-accounts that are assigned to it.
-
-* Runtime guarantees the balances belonging to accounts are balanced before
-and after the transaction.
-
-* Runtime guarantees that instructions all executed successfully when a
-transaction is committed.

-# Stake Delegation and Rewards
-
-Stakers are rewarded for helping validate the ledger. They do it by delegating
-their stake to fullnodes. Those fullnodes do the legwork and send votes to the
-stakers' staking accounts. The rest of the cluster uses those stake-weighted
-votes to select a block when forks arise. Both the fullnode and staker need
-some economic incentive to play their part. The fullnode needs to be
-compensated for its hardware and the staker needs to be compensated for risking
-getting its stake slashed.  The economics are covered in [staking
-rewards](staking-rewards.md).  This chapter, on the other hand, describes the
-underlying mechanics of its implementation.
-
-## Vote and Rewards accounts
-
-The rewards process is split into two on-chain programs. The Vote program
-solves the problem of making stakes slashable. The Rewards account acts as
-custodian of the rewards pool. It is responsible for paying out each staker
-once the staker proves to the Rewards program that it participated in
-validating the ledger.
-
-The Vote account contains the following state information:
-
-* votes - The submitted votes.
-
-* `delegate_id` - An identity that may operate with the weight of this
-  account's stake. It is typically the identity of a fullnode, but may be any
-identity involved in stake-weighted computations.
-
-* `authorized_voter_id` - Only this identity is authorized to submit votes.
-
-* `credits` - The amount of unclaimed rewards.
-
-* `root_slot` - The last slot to reach the full lockout commitment necessary
-  for rewards.
-
-The Rewards program is stateless and pays out reward when a staker submits its
-Vote account to the program. Claiming a reward requires a transaction that
-includes the following instructions:
-
-1. `RewardsInstruction::RedeemVoteCredits`
-2. `VoteInstruction::ClearCredits`
-
-The Rewards program transfers lamports from the Rewards account to the Vote
-account's public key. The Rewards program also ensures that the `ClearCredits`
-instruction follows the `RedeemVoteCredits` instruction, such that a staker may
-not claim rewards for the same work more than once.
-
-
-### Delegating Stake
-
-`VoteInstruction::DelegateStake` allows the staker to choose a fullnode to
-validate the ledger on its behalf. By being a delegate, the fullnode is
-entitled to collect transaction fees when its is leader. The larger the stake,
-the more often the fullnode will be able to collect those fees.
-
-### Authorizing a Vote Signer
-
-`VoteInstruction::AuthorizeVoter` allows a staker to choose a signing service
-for its votes. That service is responsible for ensuring the vote won't cause
-the staker to be slashed.
-
-## Limitations
-
-Many stakers may delegate their stakes to the same fullnode. The fullnode must
-send a separate vote to each staking account. If there are far more stakers
-than fullnodes, that's a lot of network traffic. An alternative design might
-have fullnodes submit each vote to just one account and then have each staker
-submit that account along with their own to collect its reward.

-# Staking Rewards
-
-Initial Proof of Stake (PoS) (i.e. using in-protocol asset, SOL, to provide
-secure consensus) design ideas outlined here. Solana will implement a proof of
-stake reward/security scheme for node validators in the cluster. The purpose is
-threefold:
-
-- Align validator incentives with that of the greater cluster through
-  skin-in-the-game deposits at risk
-- Avoid 'nothing at stake' fork voting issues by implementing slashing rules
-  aimed at promoting fork convergence
-- Provide an avenue for validator rewards provided as a function of validator
-  participation in the cluster.
-
-While many of the details of the specific implementation are currently under
-consideration and are expected to come into focus through specific modeling
-studies and parameter exploration on the Solana testnet, we outline here our
-current thinking on the main components of the PoS system. Much of this
-thinking is based on the current status of Casper FFG, with optimizations and
-specific attributes to be modified as is allowed by Solana's Proof of History
-(PoH) blockchain data structure.
-
-### General Overview
-
-Solana's ledger validation design is based on a rotating, stake-weighted selected leader broadcasting transactions in a PoH data
-structure to validating nodes. These nodes, upon receiving the leader's
-broadcast, have the opportunity to vote on the current state and PoH height by
-signing a transaction into the PoH stream.
-
-To become a Solana validator, a fullnode must deposit/lock-up some amount
-of SOL in a contract. This SOL will not be accessible for a specific time
-period. The precise duration of the staking lockup period has not been
-determined. However we can consider three phases of this time for which
-specific parameters will be necessary:
-
-- *Warm-up period*: which SOL is deposited and inaccessible to the node,
-  however PoH transaction validation has not begun. Most likely on the order of
-  days to weeks
-- *Validation period*: a minimum duration for which the deposited SOL will be
-  inaccessible, at risk of slashing (see slashing rules below) and earning
-  rewards for the validator participation. Likely duration of months to a
-  year.
-- *Cool-down period*: a duration of time following the submission of a
-  'withdrawal' transaction. During this period validation responsibilities have
-  been removed and the funds continue to be inaccessible. Accumulated rewards
-  should be delivered at the end of this period, along with the return of the
-  initial deposit.
-
-Solana's trustless sense of time and ordering provided by its PoH data
-structure, along with its
-[avalanche](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qt_gDRXHrHQ&t=1s) data broadcast
-and transmission design, should provide sub-second transaction confirmation times that scale
-with the log of the number of nodes in the cluster. This means we shouldn't
-have to restrict the number of validating nodes with a prohibitive 'minimum
-deposits' and expect nodes to be able to become validators with nominal amounts
-of SOL staked. At the same time, Solana's focus on high-throughput should create incentive for validation clients to provide high-performant and reliable hardware. Combined with potential a minimum network speed threshold to join as a validation-client, we expect a healthy validation delegation market to emerge. To this end, Solana's testnet will lead into a "Tour de SOL" validation-client competition, focusing on throughput and uptime to rank and reward testnet validators.
-
-
-### Slashing rules
-
-Unlike Proof of Work (PoW) where off-chain capital expenses are already
-deployed at the time of block construction/voting, PoS systems require
-capital-at-risk to prevent a logical/optimal strategy of multiple chain voting.
-We intend to implement slashing rules which, if broken, result some amount of
-the offending validator's deposited stake to be removed from circulation. Given
-the ordering properties of the PoH data structure, we believe we can simplify
-our slashing rules to the level of a voting lockout time assigned per vote.  
-
-I.e. Each vote has an associated lockout time (PoH duration) that represents a
-duration by any additional vote from that validator must be in a PoH that
-contains the original vote, or a portion of that validator's stake is
-slashable. This duration time is a function of the initial vote PoH count and
-all additional vote PoH counts.  It will likely take the form:
-
-Lockout<sub>i</sub>(PoH<sub>i</sub>, PoH<sub>j</sub>) = PoH<sub>j</sub> + K *
-exp((PoH<sub>j</sub> - PoH<sub>i</sub>) / K)
-
-Where PoH<sub>i</sub> is the height of the vote that the lockout is to be
-applied to and PoH<sub>j</sub> is the height of the current vote on the same
-fork. If the validator submits a vote on a different PoH fork on any
-PoH<sub>k</sub> where k > j > i and PoH<sub>k</sub> < Lockout(PoH<sub>i</sub>,
-PoH<sub>j</sub>), then a portion of that validator's stake is at risk of being
-slashed.
-
-In addition to the functional form lockout described above, early
-implementation may be a numerical approximation based on a First In, First Out
-(FIFO) data structure and the following logic:
-- FIFO queue holding 32 votes per active validator
-- new votes are pushed on top of queue (`push_front`)
-- expired votes are popped off top (`pop_front`)
-- as votes are pushed into the queue, the lockout of each queued vote doubles
-- votes are removed from back of queue if `queue.len() > 32`
-- the earliest and latest height that has been removed from the back of the
-  queue should be stored
-
-It is likely that a reward will be offered as a % of the slashed amount to any
-node that submits proof of this slashing condition being violated to the PoH.
-
-#### Partial Slashing
-
-In the schema described so far, when a validator votes on a given PoH stream,
-they are committing themselves to that fork for a time determined by the vote
-lockout. An open question is whether validators will be hesitant to begin
-voting on an available fork if the penalties are perceived too harsh for an
-honest mistake or flipped bit.
-
-One way to address this concern would be a partial slashing design that results
-in a slashable amount as a function of either:
-
-1. the fraction of validators, out of the total validator pool, that were also
-   slashed during the same time period (ala Casper)
-2. the amount of time since the vote was cast (e.g. a linearly increasing % of
-   total deposited as slashable amount over time), or both.  
-
-This is an area currently under exploration
-
-
-### Penalties
-
-As discussed in the [Economic Design](ed_overview.md) section, annual validator interest rates are to be specified as a
-function of total percentage of circulating supply that has been staked. The cluster rewards validators who are online
-and actively participating in the validation process throughout the entirety of
-their *validation period*. For validators that go offline/fail to validate
-transactions during this period, their annual reward is effectively reduced.
-
-Similarly, we may consider an algorithmic reduction in a validator's active
-amount staked amount in the case that they are offline. I.e. if a validator is
-inactive for some amount of time, either due to a partition or otherwise, the
-amount of their stake that is considered ‘active’ (eligible to earn rewards)
-may be reduced. This design would be structured to help long-lived partitions
-to eventually reach finality on their respective chains as the % of non-voting
-total stake is reduced over time until a super-majority can be achieved by the
-active validators in each partition. Similarly, upon re-engaging, the ‘active’
-amount staked will come back online at some defined rate. Different rates of
-stake reduction may be considered depending on the size of the partition/active
-set.

-# Synchronization
-
-Fast, reliable synchronization is the biggest reason Solana is able to achieve
-such high throughput. Traditional blockchains synchronize on large chunks of
-transactions called blocks. By synchronizing on blocks, a transaction cannot be
-processed until a duration called "block time" has passed. In Proof of Work
-consensus, these block times need to be very large (~10 minutes) to minimize
-the odds of multiple fullnodes producing a new valid block at the same time.
-There's no such constraint in Proof of Stake consensus, but without reliable
-timestamps, a fullnode cannot determine the order of incoming blocks.  The
-popular workaround is to tag each block with a [wallclock
-timestamp](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Block_timestamp). Because of clock drift
-and variance in network latencies, the timestamp is only accurate within an
-hour or two. To workaround the workaround, these systems lengthen block times
-to provide reasonable certainty that the median timestamp on each block is
-always increasing.
-
-Solana takes a very different approach, which it calls *Proof of History* or
-*PoH*. Leader nodes "timestamp" blocks with cryptographic proofs that some
-duration of time has passed since the last proof. All data hashed into the
-proof most certainly have occurred before the proof was generated. The node
-then shares the new block with validator nodes, which are able to verify those
-proofs. The blocks can arrive at validators in any order or even could be
-replayed years later. With such reliable synchronization guarantees, Solana is
-able to break blocks into smaller batches of transactions called *entries*.
-Entries are streamed to validators in realtime, before any notion of block
-consensus.
-
-Solana technically never sends a *block*, but uses the term to describe the
-sequence of entries that fullnodes vote on to achieve *confirmation*. In that
-way, Solana's confirmation times can be compared apples to apples to
-block-based systems. The current implementation sets block time to 800ms.
-
-What's happening under the hood is that entries are streamed to validators as
-quickly as a leader node can batch a set of valid transactions into an entry.
-Validators process those entries long before it is time to vote on their
-validity. By processing the transactions optimistically, there is effectively
-no delay between the time the last entry is received and the time when the node
-can vote. In the event consensus is **not** achieved, a node simply rolls back
-its state. This optimisic processing technique was introduced in 1981 and
-called [Optimistic Concurrency
-Control](http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.65.4735).  It
-can be applied to blockchain architecture where a cluster votes on a hash that
-represents the full ledger up to some *block height*. In Solana, it is
-implemented trivially using the last entry's PoH hash.
-
-### Relationship to VDFs
-
-The Proof of History technique was first described for use in blockchain by
-Solana in November of 2017. In June of the following year, a similar technique
-was described at Stanford and called a [verifiable delay
-function](https://eprint.iacr.org/2018/601.pdf) or *VDF*.
-
-A desirable property of a VDF is that verification time is very fast. Solana's
-approach to verifying its delay function is proportional to the time it took to
-create it. Split over a 4000 core GPU, it is sufficiently fast for Solana's
-needs, but if you asked the authors of the paper cited above, they might tell you
-([and have](https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/issues/388)) that Solana's
-approach is algorithmically slow and it shouldn't be called a VDF. We argue the
-term VDF should represent the category of verifiable delay functions and not
-just the subset with certain performance characteristics. Until that's
-resolved, Solana will likely continue using the term PoH for its
-application-specific VDF.
-
-Another difference between PoH and VDFs is that a VDF is used only for tracking
-duration. PoH's hash chain, on the other hand, includes hashes of any data the
-application observed.  That data is a double-edged sword. On one side, the data
-"proves history" - that the data most certainly existed before hashes after it.
-On the side, it means the application can manipulate the hash chain by changing
-*when* the data is hashed. The PoH chain therefore does not serve as a good
-source of randomness whereas a VDF without that data could. Solana's [leader
-rotation algorithm](#leader-rotation), for example, is derived only from the
-VDF *height* and not its hash at that height.
-
-### Relationship to Consensus Mechanisms
-
-Proof of History is not a consensus mechanism, but it is used to improve the
-performance of Solana's Proof of Stake consensus. It is also used to improve
-the performance of the data plane and replication protocols.

-## Testing Programs
-
-Applications send transactions to a Solana cluster and query validators to
-confirm the transactions were processed and to check each transaction's result.
-When the cluster doesn't behave as anticipated, it could be for a number of
-reasons:
-
-* The program is buggy
-* The BPF loader rejected an unsafe program instruction
-* The transaction was too big
-* The transaction was invalid
-* The Runtime tried to execute the transaction when another one was accessing
-  the same account
-* The network dropped the transaction
-* The cluster rolled back the ledger
-* A validator responded to queries maliciously
-
-### The Transact Trait
-
-To troubleshoot, the application should retarget a lower-level component, where
-fewer errors are possible. Retargeting can be done with different
-implementations of the Transact trait.
-
-When Futures 0.3.0 is released, the Transact trait may look like this:
-
-```rust,ignore
-trait Transact {
-    async fn send_transactions(txs: &[Transaction]) -> Vec<Result<(), TransactionError>>;
-}
-```
-
-Users send transactions and asynchrounously await their results.
-
-#### Transact with Clusters
-
-The highest level implementation targets a Solana cluster, which may be a
-deployed testnet or a local cluster running on a development machine.
-
-#### Transact with the TPU
-
-The next level is the TPU implementation of Transact. At the TPU level, the
-application sends transactions over Rust channels, where there can be no
-surprises from network queues or dropped packets. The TPU implements all
-"normal" transaction errors. It does signature verification, may report
-account-in-use errors, and otherwise results in the ledger, complete with proof
-of history hashes.
-
-### Low-level testing
-
-### Testing with the Bank
-
-Below the TPU level is the Bank. The Bank doesn't do signature verification or
-generate a ledger. The Bank is a convenient layer at which to test new on-chain
-programs. It allows developers to toggle between native program implementations
-and BPF-compiled variants. No need for the Transact trait here. The Bank's API
-is synchronous.
-
-### Unit-testing with the Runtime
-
-Below the Bank is the Runtime. The Runtime is the ideal test environment for
-unit-testing. By statically linking the Runtime into a native program
-implementation, the developer gains the shortest possible edit-compile-run
-loop. Without any dynamic linking, stack traces include debug symbols and
-program errors are straightforward to troubleshoot.

-## Testnet Participation
-This document describes how to participate in the beta testnet as a
-validator node.
-
-Please note some of the information and instructions described here may change
-in future releases.
-
-### Beta Testnet Overview
-The beta testnet features a validator running at beta.testnet.solana.com, which
-serves as the entrypoint to the cluster for your validator.
-
-Additionally there is a blockexplorer available at http://beta.testnet.solana.com/.
-
-The beta testnet is configured to reset the ledger every 24hours, or sooner
-should an hourly automated sanity test fail.
-
-### Machine Requirements
-Since the beta testnet is not intended for stress testing of max transaction
-throughput, a higher-end machine with a GPU is not necessary to participate.
-
-However ensure the machine used is not behind a residential NAT to avoid NAT
-traversal issues.  A cloud-hosted machine works best.  Ensure that IP ports
-8000 through 10000 are not blocked for Internet traffic.
-
-Prebuilt binaries are available for Linux x86_64 (Ubuntu 18.04 recommended).
-MacOS or WSL users may build from source.
-
-### Validator Setup
-#### Obtaining The Software
-##### Bootstrap with `solana-install`
-
-The `solana-install` tool can be used to easily install and upgrade the cluster
-software on Linux x86_64 systems.
-
-Install the latest release with a single shell command:
-```bash
-$ curl -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/solana-labs/solana/v0.13.0/install/solana-install-init.sh | \
-  sh -c - --url https://api.beta.testnet.solana.com
-```
-
-Alternatively build the `solana-install` program from source and run the
-following command to obtain the same result:
-```bash
-$ solana-install init --url https://api.beta.testnet.solana.com
-```
-
-After a successful install, `solana-install update` may be used to easily update the cluster
-software to a newer version.
-
-##### Download Prebuilt Binaries
-Binaries are available for Linux x86_64 systems.
-
-Download the binaries by navigating to https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/releases/latest, download
-**solana-release-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.bz2**, then extract the archive:
-```bash
-$ tar jxf solana-release-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.bz2
-$ cd solana-release/
-$ export PATH=$PWD/bin:$PATH
-```
-##### Build From Source
-If you are unable to use the prebuilt binaries or prefer to build it yourself from source, navigate to:
-> https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/releases/latest
-
-Download the source code tarball (solana-*[release]*.tar.gz) from our latest release tag.  Extract the code and build the binaries with:
-```bash
-$ ./scripts/cargo-install-all.sh .
-$ export PATH=$PWD/bin:$PATH
-```
-
-#### Confirm The Testnet Is Reachable
-Before attaching a validator node, sanity check that the cluster is accessible
-to your machine by running some simple wallet commands.  If any of these
-commands fail, please retry 5-10 minutes later to confirm the testnet is not
-just restarting itself before debugging further.
-
-Receive an airdrop of lamports from the testnet drone:
-```bash
-$ solana-wallet -n beta.testnet.solana.com airdrop 123
-$ solana-wallet -n beta.testnet.solana.com balance
-```
-
-Fetch the current testnet transaction count over JSON RPC:
-```bash
-$ curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1, "method":"getTransactionCount"}' http://beta.testnet.solana.com:8899
-```
-
-Inspect the blockexplorer at http://beta.testnet.solana.com/ for activity.
-
-Run the following command to join the gossip network and view all the other nodes in the cluster:
-```bash
-$ solana-gossip --network beta.testnet.solana.com:8001
-```
-
-### Starting The Validator
-The following command will start a new validator node.
-
-If this is a `solana-install`-installation:
-```bash
-$ fullnode-x.sh --public-address --poll-for-new-genesis-block beta.testnet.solana.com:8001
-```
-
-Alternatively, the `solana-install run` command can be used to run the validator
-node while periodically checking for and applying software updates:
-```bash
-$ solana-install run fullnode-x.sh --public-address --poll-for-new-genesis-block beta.testnet.solana.com:8001
-```
-
-When not using `solana-install`:
-```bash
-$ USE_INSTALL=1 ./multinode-demo/fullnode-x.sh --public-address --poll-for-new-genesis-block beta.testnet.solana.com:8001
-```
-
-Then from another console, confirm the IP address if your node is now visible in
-the gossip network by running:
-```bash
-$ solana-gossip --network beta.testnet.solana.com:8001
-```
-
-Congratulations, you're now participating in the testnet cluster!
-
-#### Controlling local network port allocation
-By default the validator will dynamically select available network ports in the
-8000-10000 range, and may be overridden with `--dynamic-port-range`.  For
-example, `fullnode-x.sh --dynamic-port-range 11000-11010 ...` will restrict the
-validator to ports 11000-11011.
-
-### Sharing Metrics From Your Validator
-If you'd like to share metrics perform the following steps before starting the
-validator node:
-```bash
-export u="username obtained from the Solana maintainers"
-export p="password obtained from the Solana maintainers"
-export SOLANA_METRICS_CONFIG="db=testnet-beta,u=${u:?},p=${p:?}"
-source scripts/configure-metrics.sh
-```
-Inspect for your contributions to our [metrics dashboard](https://metrics.solana.com:3000/d/U9-26Cqmk/testnet-monitor-cloud?refresh=60s&orgId=2&var-hostid=All).
