+#### Usage
+Run the following command to decrypt the secrets into the environment:
+```bash
+eval $(ejson2env secrets.ejson)
+```
+
+#### Managing secrets.ejson
+To decrypt `secrets.ejson` for modification, run:
+```bash
+$ ejson decrypt secrets.ejson -o secrets_unencrypted.ejson
+```
+
+Edit, then run the following to re-encrypt the file **BEFORE COMMITING YOUR
+CHANGES**:
+```bash
+$ ejson encrypt secrets_unencrypted.ejson

+The goal of these guidelines is to improve developer productivity by allowing
+developers to jump into any file in the codebase and not need to adapt to
+inconsistencies in how the code is written. The codebase should appear as if it
+had been authored by a single developer. If you don't agree with a convention,
+submit a PR patching this document and let's discuss! Once the PR is accepted,
+*all* code should be updated as soon as possible to reflect the new
 conventions.
 
-Rust coding conventions
----
+## Pull Requests
 
-* All Rust code is formatted using the latest version of `rustfmt`. Once installed, it will be
-  updated automatically when you update the compiler with `rustup`.
+Small, frequent PRs are much preferred to large, infrequent ones. A large PR is
+difficult to review, can block others from making progress, and can quickly get
+its author into "rebase hell". A large PR oftentimes arises when one change
+requires another, which requires another, and then another. When you notice
+those dependencies, put the fix into a commit of its own, then checkout a new
+branch, and cherry-pick it.
 
-* All Rust code is linted with Clippy. If you'd prefer to ignore its advice, do so explicitly:
+```bash
+$ git commit -am "Fix foo, needed by bar"
+$ git checkout master
+$ git checkout -b fix-foo
+$ git cherry-pick fix-bar
+$ git push --set-upstream origin fix-foo
+```
 
-  ```rust
-  #[cfg_attr(feature = "cargo-clippy", allow(too_many_arguments))]
-  ```
+Open a PR to start the review process and then jump back to your original
+branch to keep making progress. Consider rebasing to make your fix the first
+commit:
+
+```bash
+$ git checkout fix-bar
+$ git rebase -i master <Move fix-foo to top>
+```
+
+Once the commit is merged, rebase the original branch to purge the
+cherry-picked commit:
+
+```bash
+$ git pull --rebase upstream master
+```
+
+### How big is too big?
+
+If there are no functional changes, PRs can be very large and that's no
+problem. If, however, your changes are making meaningful changes or additions,
+then about 1,000 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.
+
+### When will my PR be reviewed?
+
+PRs are typically reviewed and merged in under 7 days. If your PR has been open
+for longer, it's a strong indicator that the reviewers aren't confident the
+change meets the quality standards of the codebase. You might consider closing
+it and coming back with smaller PRs and longer descriptions detailing what
+problem it solves and how it solves it. Old PRs will be marked stale and then
+closed automatically 7 days later.
+
+### How to manage review feedback?
+
+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.
+
+## Draft Pull Requests
+
+If you want early feedback on your PR, use GitHub's "Draft Pull Request"
+mechanism. Draft PRs are a convenient way to collaborate with the Solana
+maintainers without triggering notifications as you make changes. When you feel
+your PR is ready for a broader audience, you can transition your draft PR to a
+standard PR with the click of a button.
+
+Do not add reviewers to draft PRs.  GitHub doesn't automatically clear
+approvals when you click "Ready for Review", so a review that meant "I approve
+of the direction" suddenly has the appearance of "I approve of these changes."
+Instead, add a comment that mentions the usernames that you would like a review
+from. Ask explicitly what you would like feedback on.
+
+## Rust coding conventions
+
+* All Rust code is formatted using the latest version of `rustfmt`. Once
+  installed, it will be updated automatically when you update the compiler with
+`rustup`.
+
+* All Rust code is linted with Clippy. If you'd prefer to ignore its advice, do
+  so explicitly:
+
+  ```rust #[allow(clippy::too_many_arguments)] ```
 
   Note: Clippy defaults can be overridden in the top-level file `.clippy.toml`.
 
-* For variable names, when in doubt, spell it out. The mapping from type names to variable names
-  is to lowercase the type name, putting an underscore before each capital letter. Variable names
-  should *not* be abbreviated unless being used as closure arguments and the brevity improves
-  readability. When a function has multiple instances of the same type, qualify each with a
-  prefix and underscore (i.e. alice_keypair) or a numeric suffix (i.e. tx0).

-  always be `test` and for benchmarks the verb should always be `bench`. Avoid namespacing
-  function names with some arbitrary word. Avoid abreviating words in function names.

-  updated to meet the conventions described here.

-* fullnode: n. A fully participating network node.
-* hash: n. A SHA-256 Hash.
-* keypair: n. A Ed25519 key-pair, containing a public and private key.
-* pubkey: n. The public key of a Ed25519 key-pair.
-* sigverify: v. To verify a Ed25519 digital signature.
 
+## Design Proposals
+
+Solana's architecture is described by a book generated from markdown files in
+the `book/src/` directory, maintained by an *editor* (currently @garious). To
+add a design proposal, you'll need to at least propose a change the content
+under the [Accepted Design
+Proposals](https://docs.solana.com/book/v/master/proposals) chapter.  Here's
+the full process:
+
+1. Propose a design by creating a PR that adds a markdown document to the
+   directory `book/src/` and references it from the [table of
+   contents](book/src/SUMMARY.md). Add any relevant *maintainers* to the PR
+   review.
+2. The PR being merged indicates your proposed change was accepted and that the
+   maintainers support your plan of attack.
+3. Submit PRs that implement the proposal. When the implementation reveals the
+   need for tweaks to the proposal, be sure to update the proposal and have that
+   change reviewed by the same people as in step 1.
+4. Once the implementation is complete, submit a PR that moves the link from
+   the Accepted Proposals to the Implemented Proposals section.

 > 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 in route towards that theoretical limit of 710,000 transactions per second.

-Testnet Demos
+Architecture
 ===
 
-The Solana repo 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.
+Before you jump into the code, review the online book [Solana: Blockchain Rebuilt for Scale](https://docs.solana.com/book/).
 
-For all four variations, you'd need the latest Rust toolchain and the Solana
-source code:
+(The _latest_ development version of the online book is also [available here](https://docs.solana.com/book/v/master/).)
 
-First, install Rust's package manager Cargo.
+Release Binaries

-```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
-$ git checkout v0.8.0
-```
-
-Configuration Setup
----
-
-The network is initialized with a genesis ledger and leader/validator configuration files.
-These files can be generated by running the following script.
-
-```bash
-$ ./multinode-demo/setup.sh
-```
-
-Drone
----
-
-In order for the leader, client and validators 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 on the leader node 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 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 server in a separate shell:
-
-```bash
-$ ./multinode-demo/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 validator nodes in
-separate shells:
-
-```bash
-$ ./multinode-demo/validator.sh
-```
-
-To run a performance-enhanced leader or validator (on Linux),
-[CUDA 9.2](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads) must be installed on
-your system:
-
-```bash
-$ ./fetch-perf-libs.sh
-$ SOLANA_CUDA=1 ./multinode-demo/leader.sh
-$ SOLANA_CUDA=1 ./multinode-demo/validator.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.
-
-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 $(dig +short testnet.solana.com):8001 --identity config-private/client-id.json --duration 60
-```
-
-You can observe the effects of your client's transactions on our [dashboard](https://metrics.solana.com:3000/d/testnet/testnet-hud?orgId=2&from=now-30m&to=now&refresh=5s&var-testnet=testnet)
-
-
-Linux Snap
----
-A Linux [Snap](https://snapcraft.io/) is available, which can be used to
-easily get Solana running on supported Linux systems without building anything
-from source.  The `edge` Snap channel is updated daily with the latest
-development from the `master` branch.  To install:
-
-```bash
-$ sudo snap install solana --edge --devmode
-```
-
-(`--devmode` flag is required only for `solana.fullnode-cuda`)
-
-Once installed the usual Solana programs will be available as `solona.*` instead
-of `solana-*`.  For example, `solana.fullnode` instead of `solana-fullnode`.
-
-Update to the latest version at any time with:
-
-```bash
-$ snap info solana
-$ sudo snap refresh solana --devmode
-```
-
-### Daemon support
-The snap supports running a leader, validator or leader+drone node as a system
-daemon.
-
-Run `sudo snap get solana` to view the current daemon configuration.  To view
-daemon logs:
-1. Run `sudo snap logs -n=all solana` to view the daemon initialization log
-2. Runtime logging can be found under `/var/snap/solana/current/leader/`,
-`/var/snap/solana/current/validator/`, or `/var/snap/solana/current/drone/` depending
-on which `mode=` was selected.  Within each log directory the file `current`
-contains the latest log, and the files `*.s` (if present) contain older rotated
-logs.

-Disable the daemon at any time by running:
-
-```bash
-$ sudo snap set solana mode=

-
-```bash
-$ sudo snap set solana mode=leader
-```
-
-If CUDA is available:
-
-```bash
-$ sudo snap set solana mode=leader enable-cuda=1
-```
-
-`rsync` must be configured and running on the leader.
-
-1. Ensure rsync is installed with `sudo apt-get -y install rsync`
-2. Edit `/etc/rsyncd.conf` to include the following
-```
-[config]
-path = /var/snap/solana/current/config
-hosts allow = *
-read only = true
-```
-3. Run `sudo systemctl enable rsync; sudo systemctl start rsync`
-4. Test by running `rsync -Pzravv rsync://<ip-address-of-leader>/config
-solana-config` from another machine.  **If the leader is running on a cloud
-provider it may be necessary to configure the Firewall rules to permit ingress
-to port tcp:873, tcp:9900 and the port range udp:8000-udp:10000**
-
-
-To run both the Leader and Drone:
-
-```bash
-$ sudo snap set solana mode=leader+drone
-
-```
-
-#### Validator daemon
-
-```bash
-$ sudo snap set solana mode=validator
-
-```
-If CUDA is available:
-
-```bash
-$ sudo snap set solana mode=validator enable-cuda=1
-```
-
-By default the validator will connect to **testnet.solana.com**, override
-the leader IP address by running:
-
-```bash
-$ sudo snap set solana mode=validator leader-address=127.0.0.1 #<-- change IP address
-```
-
-It's assumed that the leader will be running `rsync` configured as described in
-the previous **Leader daemon** section.

+Start your own testnet locally, instructions are in the book [Solana: Blockchain Rebuild for Scale: Getting Started](https://docs.solana.com/book/getting-started).
 
-For example, to enable info everywhere and debug only in the solana::banking_stage module:
+Remote Testnets
+---
 
-```bash
-$ export RUST_LOG=info,solana::banking_stage=debug
-```
+We maintain several testnets:
+* `testnet` - public stable testnet accessible via devnet.solana.com. Runs 24/7
 
-Generally we are using debug for infrequent debug messages, trace for potentially frequent
-messages and info for performance-related logging.
+## Deploy process
 
-You can also attach to a running process with GDB.  The leader's process is named
-_solana-fullnode_:
+They are deployed with the `ci/testnet-manager.sh` script through a list of [scheduled
+buildkite jobs](https://buildkite.com/solana-labs/testnet-management/settings/schedules).
+Each testnet can be manually manipulated from buildkite as well.
 
-```bash
-$ sudo gdb
-attach <PID>
-set logging on
-thread apply all bt
-```
+## How do I reset the testnet?
+Manually trigger the [testnet-management](https://buildkite.com/solana-labs/testnet-management) pipeline
+and when prompted select the desired testnet
+
+## How can I scale the tx generation rate?
+
+Increase the TX rate by increasing the number of cores on the client machine which is running
+`bench-tps` or run multiple clients. Decrease by lowering cores or using the rayon env
+variable `RAYON_NUM_THREADS=<xx>`
+
+## How can I test a change on the testnet?
+
+Currently, a merged PR is the only way to test a change on the testnet.  But you
+can run your own testnet using the scripts in the `net/` directory.
+
+## Adjusting the number of clients or validators on the testnet
+Edit `ci/testnet-manager.sh`
+
+
+## Metrics Server Maintenance
+Sometimes the dashboard becomes unresponsive. This happens due to glitch in the metrics server.
+The current solution is to reset the metrics server. Use the following steps.
+
+1. The server is hosted in a GCP VM instance. Check if the VM instance is down by trying to SSH
+ into it from the GCP console. The name of the VM is ```metrics-solana-com```.
+2. If the VM is inaccessible, reset it from the GCP console.
+3. Once VM is up (or, was already up), the metrics services can be restarted from build automation.
+    1. Navigate to https://buildkite.com/solana-labs/metrics-dot-solana-dot-com in your web browser
+    2. Click on ```New Build```
+    3. This will show a pop up dialog. Click on ```options``` drop down.
+    4. Type in ```FORCE_START=true``` in ```Environment Variables``` text box.
+    5. Click ```Create Build```
+    6. This will restart the metrics services, and the dashboards should be accessible afterwards.
+
+## Debugging Testnet
+Testnet may exhibit different symptoms of failures. Primary statistics to check are
+1. Rise in Confirmation Time
+2. Nodes are not voting
+3. Panics, and OOM notifications
+
+Check the following if there are any signs of failure.
+1. Did testnet deployment fail?
+    1. View buildkite logs for the last deployment: https://buildkite.com/solana-labs/testnet-management
+    2. Use the relevant branch
+    3. If the deployment failed, look at the build logs. The build artifacts for each remote node is uploaded.
+       It's a good first step to triage from these logs.
+2. You may have to log into remote node if the deployment succeeded, but something failed during runtime.
+    1. Get the private key for the testnet deployment from ```metrics-solana-com``` GCP instance.
+    2. SSH into ```metrics-solana-com``` using GCP console and do the following.
+    ```bash
+    sudo bash
+    cd ~buildkite-agent/.ssh
+    ls
+    ```
+    3. Copy the relevant private key to your local machine
+    4. Find the public IP address of the AWS instance for the remote node using AWS console
+    5. ```ssh -i <private key file> ubuntu@<ip address of remote node>```
+    6. The logs are in ```~solana\solana``` folder

+
+```
+
+### master branch
+All new development occurs on the `master` branch.
+
+Bug fixes that affect a `vX.Y` branch are first made on `master`.  This is to
+allow a fix some soak time on `master` before it is applied to one or more
+stabilization branches.
+
+Merging to `master` first also helps ensure that fixes applied to one release
+are present for future releases.  (Sometimes the joy of landing a critical
+release blocker in a branch causes you to forget to propagate back to
+`master`!)"
+
+Once the bug fix lands on `master` it is cherry-picked into the `vX.Y` branch
+and potentially the `vX.Y-1` branch.  The exception to this rule is when a bug
+fix for `vX.Y` doesn't apply to `master` or `vX.Y-1`.
+
+Immediately after a new stabilization branch is forged, the `Cargo.toml` minor
+version (*Y*) in the `master` branch is incremented by the release engineer.
+Incrementing the major version of the `master` branch is outside the scope of
+this document.
+
+### v*X.Y* stabilization branches
+These are stabilization branches for a given milestone.  They are created off
+the `master` branch as late as possible prior to the milestone release.
+
+### v*X.Y.Z* release tag
+The release tags are created as desired by the owner of the given stabilization
+branch, and cause that *X.Y.Z* release to be shipped to https://crates.io
+
+Immediately after a new v*X.Y.Z* branch tag has been created, the `Cargo.toml`
+patch version number (*Z*) of the stabilization branch is incremented by the
+release engineer.
+
+## Channels
+Channels are used by end-users (humans and bots) to consume the branches
+described in the previous section, so they may automatically update to the most
+recent version matching their desired stability.
+
+There are three release channels that map to branches as follows:
+* edge - tracks the `master` branch, least stable.
+* beta - tracks the largest (and latest) `vX.Y` stabilization branch, more stable.
+* stable - tracks the second largest `vX.Y` stabilization branch, most stable.
+
+## Steps to Create a Branch
+
+### 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. Create the new branch and push this branch to the `solana` repository:
+    ```
+    git checkout -b <branchname>
+    git push -u origin <branchname>
+    ```
+
+### Update master branch with the next version
+
+1. After the new branch has been created and pushed, update the Cargo.toml files on **master** to the next semantic version (e.g. 0.9.0 -> 0.10.0) with:
+     ```
+     scripts/increment-cargo-version.sh minor
+     ```
+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:
+    ```
+    git co -b version_update
+    git ls-files -m | xargs git add
+    git commit -m 'Update Cargo.toml versions from X.Y to X.Y+1'
+    git push -u origin version_update
+    ```
+1. Confirm that your freshly cut release branch is shown as `BETA_CHANNEL` and the previous release branch as `STABLE_CHANNEL`:
+    ```
+    ci/channel_info.sh
+    ```
+
+## Steps to Create a Release
+
+### Create the Release Tag on GitHub
+
+1. Go to [GitHub's Releases UI](https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/releases) for tagging a release.
+1. Click "Draft new release".  The release tag must exactly match the `version`
+   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).  Engineering Lead can provide summary contents for release notes if needed.
+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:
+    ```
+    git co -b version_update
+    git ls-files -m | xargs git add
+    git commit -m 'Update Cargo.toml versions from X.Y.Z to X.Y.Z+1'
+    git push -u origin version_update
+    ```
+
+### 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 `book/src/running-archiver.md` and `book/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

+## 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
+```

+# Programming Model
+
+An _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 transfer _lamports_ from one _account_ to another or create an interactive contract that governs how lamports are transfered. Instructions are executed sequentially and atomically. If any instruction is invalid, any changes made within the transaction are discarded.
+
+### Accounts and Signatures
+
+Each transaction explicitly lists all account public keys referenced by the transaction's instructions. A subset of those public keys are each accompanied by a transaction signature. Those signatures signal on-chain programs that the account holder has authorized the transaction. Typically, the program uses the authorization to permit debiting the account or modifying its data.
+
+The transaction also marks some accounts as _read-only accounts_. The runtime permits read-only accounts to be read concurrently. If a program attempts to modify a read-only account, the transaction is rejected by the runtime.
+
+### Recent Blockhash
+
+A Transaction includes a recent blockhash to prevent duplication and to give transactions lifetimes. Any transaction that is completely identical to a previous one is rejected, so adding a newer blockhash allows multiple transactions to repeat the exact same action. Transactions also have lifetimes that are defined by the blockhash, as any transaction whose blockhash is too old will be rejected.
+
+### Instructions
+
+Each instruction specifies a single program account \(which must be marked executable\), a subset of the transaction's accounts that should be passed to the program, and a data byte array instruction that is passed to the program. The program interprets the data array and operates on the accounts specified by the instructions. The program can return successfully, or with an error code. An error return causes the entire transaction to fail immediately.
+
+## Deploying Programs to a Cluster
+
+![SDK tools](../.gitbook/assets/sdk-tools.svg)
+
+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 validator 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. The account created by `CreateAccount` is called a _system account_ and is owned by a built-in program called the System program. The System program allows clients to transfer lamports and assign account ownership.
+
+The runtime only permits the owner to debit the account or modify its data. The program then defines additional rules for whether the client can modify accounts it owns. In the case of the System program, it allows users to transfer lamports by recognizing transaction signatures. If it sees the client signed the transaction using the keypair's _private key_, it knows the client authorized the token transfer.
+
+After the runtime executes each of the transaction's instructions, it uses the account metadata 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.
+
+## Smart Contracts
+
+Programs don't always require transaction signatures, as the System program does. Instead, the program may manage _smart contracts_. A smart contract is a set of constraints that once satisfied, signal to a program that a token transfer or account update is permitted. For example, one could use the Budget program to create a smart contract that authorizes a token transfer only after some date. Once evidence that the date has past, the contract progresses, and token transfer completes.

+# 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::Transfer` 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.
+
+Note: the Solana cluster will not parallelize transactions funded by the same fee-paying account. This means that the max throughput of a single fee-paying account is limited to the number of _ticks_ processed per second by the current leader. Add additional fee-paying accounts to improve throughput.
+
+## 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 validator 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 validator
+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 `Transfer` 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.

+## Getting lamports to users
+
+You may have noticed you interacted with the Solana cluster without first needing to acquire lamports to pay transaction fees. Under the hood, the web app creates a new ephemeral identity and sends a request to an off-chain service for a signed transaction authorizing a user to start a new game. The service is called a _drone_. When the app sends the signed transaction to the Solana cluster, the drone's lamports are spent to pay the transaction fee and start the game. In a real world app, the drone might request the user watch an ad or pass a CAPTCHA before signing over its lamports.

+# Building from Source
+
+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 $TAG
+```
+
+### Configuration Setup
+
+Ensure important programs such as the vote program are built before any nodes are started. Note that we are using the release build here for good performance.
+If you want the debug build, use just `cargo build` and omit the `NDEBUG=1` part of the command.
+
+```bash
+$ cargo build --release
+```
+
+The network is initialized with a genesis ledger generated by running the following script.
+
+```bash
+$ NDEBUG=1 ./multinode-demo/setup.sh
+```
+
+### Drone
+
+In order for the validators and clients to work, we'll need to spin up a faucet to give out some test tokens. The faucet delivers Milton Friedman-style "air drops" \(free tokens to requesting clients\) to be used in test transactions.
+
+Start the faucet with:
+
+```bash
+$ NDEBUG=1 ./multinode-demo/faucet.sh
+```
+
+### Singlenode Testnet
+
+Before you start a validator, make sure you know the IP address of the machine you want to be the bootstrap validator 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 validator in a separate shell:
+
+```bash
+$ NDEBUG=1 ./multinode-demo/bootstrap-validator.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 faucet if it doesn't have any. The faucet 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 validators in separate shells:
+
+```bash
+$ NDEBUG=1 ./multinode-demo/validator-x.sh
+```
+
+To run a performance-enhanced validator on Linux, [CUDA 10.0](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads) must be installed on your system:
+
+```bash
+$ ./fetch-perf-libs.sh
+$ NDEBUG=1 SOLANA_CUDA=1 ./multinode-demo/bootstrap-validator.sh
+$ NDEBUG=1 SOLANA_CUDA=1 ./multinode-demo/validator.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
+$ NDEBUG=1 ./multinode-demo/bench-tps.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-validator_:
+
+```bash
+$ sudo gdb
+attach <PID>
+set logging on
+thread apply all bt
+```
+
+This will dump all the threads stack traces into gdb.txt
+
+### Blockstreamer
+
+Solana supports a node type called an _blockstreamer_. This validator 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
+$ NDEBUG=1 ./multinode-demo/validator-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
+  * `l`, the slot leader id, as base-58 encoded string
+  * `hash`, the [blockhash](terminology.md#blockhash), as base-58 encoded string
+
+## 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
+$ NDEBUG=1 ./multinode-demo/bench-tps.sh --entrypoint devnet.solana.com:8001 --faucet devnet.solana.com:9900 --duration 60 --tx_count 50
+```
+
+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)

+# A Solana Cluster
+
+A Solana cluster is a set of validators 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 validators, one first needs to create a _genesis config_. The config references two public keys, a _mint_ and a _bootstrap validator_. The validator holding the bootstrap validator's private 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 config. The second validator then contacts the bootstrap validator to register as a _validator_ or _archiver_. Additional validators 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 archiver 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
+
+Validators and archivers 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 validator'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 archiver 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 [_Turbine Block Propogation_](turbine-block-propagation.md).

+# 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 \(in signed shreds\) 1. The PoH stream includes ticks; empty entries that indicate liveness of
+
+   the leader and the passage of time on the cluster.
+
+   1. 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 [Tower BFT](../implemented-proposals/tower-bft.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.
+
+![Fork generation](../.gitbook/assets/fork-generation.svg)
+
+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.

+# Leader Rotation
+
+At any given moment, a cluster expects only one validator 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 config 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 config as well. The minimum length of the first epochs must be greater than or equal to the maximum rollback depth as defined in [Tower BFT](../implemented-proposals/tower-bft.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.

+# 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 validators that have to store the full data set this protocol proposes a way for mining nodes to provide storage capacity for pieces of the data.
+
+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 it's hashed. The simple solution is to periodically regenerate the hash based on a signed PoH value. This ensures that all the data is present during the generation of the proof and it also requires validators 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. If an archiver can prove that a validator verified a fake PoRep, then the validator will not receive a reward for that storage epoch.
+
+Archivers are specialized _light clients_. They download a part of the ledger \(a.k.a Segment\) and store it, and provide PoReps of storing the ledger. For each verified PoRep archivers 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. SLOTS\_PER\_SEGMENT: Number of slots in a segment of ledger data. The
+
+   unit of storage for an archiver.
+
+2. NUM\_KEY\_ROTATION\_SEGMENTS: Number of segments after which archivers
+
+   regenerate their encryption keys and select a new dataset to store.
+
+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.
+
+7. NUM\_SLOTS\_PER\_TURN: Number of slots that define a single storage epoch or
+
+   a "turn" of the PoRep game.
+
+### Validator behavior
+
+1. Validators join the network and begin looking for archiver accounts at each
+
+   storage epoch/turn boundary.
+
+2. Every turn, Validators sign the PoH value at the boundary and use that signature
+
+   to randomly pick proofs to verify from each storage account found in the turn boundary.
+
+   This signed value is also submitted to the validator's storage account and will be used by
+
+   archivers at a later stage to cross-verify.
+
+3. Every `NUM_SLOTS_PER_TURN` slots the validator advertises the PoH value. This is value
+
+   is also served to Archivers via RPC interfaces.
+
+4. For a given turn N, all validations get locked out until turn N+3 \(a gap of 2 turn/epoch\).
+
+   At which point all validations during that turn are available for reward collection.
+
+5. Any incorrect validations will be marked during the turn in between.
+
+### Archiver behavior
+
+1. Since an archiver is somewhat of a light client and not downloading all the
+
+   ledger data, they have to rely on other validators and archivers 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
+
+   archiver do extra wasted work. For many of the operations there are a number of options
+
+   depending on how paranoid an archiver is:
+
+   * \(a\) archiver can ask a validator
+   * \(b\) archiver can ask multiple validators
+   * \(c\) archiver can ask other archivers
+   * \(d\) archiver can subscribe to the full transaction stream and generate
+
+     the information itself \(assuming the slot is recent enough\)
+
+   * \(e\) archiver can subscribe to an abbreviated transaction stream to
+
+     generate the information itself \(assuming the slot is recent enough\)
+
+2. An archiver obtains the PoH hash corresponding to the last turn with its slot.
+3. The archiver 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
+
+   archiver mods the signature with the slot to get which segment to
+
+   replicate.
+
+4. The archiver retrives the ledger by asking peer validators and
+
+   archivers. See 6.5.
+
+5. The archiver then encrypts that segment with the key with chacha algorithm
+
+   in CBC mode with `NUM_CHACHA_ROUNDS` of encryption.
+
+6. The archiver initializes a chacha rng with the a signed recent PoH value as
+
+   the seed.
+
+7. The archiver 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 archiver 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.
+
+9. During a given turn the archiver should submit many proofs for the same segment
+
+   and based on the `RATIO_OF_FAKE_PROOFS` some of those proofs must be fake.
+
+10. As the PoRep game enters the next turn, the archiver must submit a
+
+    transaction with the mask of which proofs were fake during the last turn. This
+
+    transaction will define the rewards for both archivers and validators.
+
+11. Finally for a turn N, as the PoRep game enters turn N + 3, archiver's proofs for
+
+    turn N will be counted towards their rewards.
+
+### The PoRep Game
+
+The Proof of Replication game has 4 primary stages. For each "turn" multiple PoRep games can be in progress but each in a different stage.
+
+The 4 stages of the PoRep Game are as follows:
+
+1. Proof submission stage
+   * Archivers: submit as many proofs as possible during this stage
+   * Validators: No-op
+2. Proof verification stage
+   * Archivers: No-op
+   * Validators: Select archivers and verify their proofs from the previous turn
+3. Proof challenge stage
+   * Archivers: Submit the proof mask with justifications \(for fake proofs submitted 2 turns ago\)
+   * Validators: No-op
+4. Reward collection stage
+   * Archivers: Collect rewards for 3 turns ago
+   * Validators:  Collect rewards for 3 turns ago
+
+For each turn of the PoRep game, both Validators and Archivers evaluate each stage. The stages are run as separate transactions on the storage program.
+
+### Finding who has a given block of ledger
+
+1. Validators monitor the turns in the PoRep game and look at the rooted bank
+
+   at turn boundaries for any proofs.
+
+2. Validators maintain a map of ledger segments and corresponding archiver public keys.
+
+   The map is updated when a Validator processes an archiver's proofs for a segment.
+
+   The validator provides an RPC interface to access the this map. Using this API, clients
+
+   can map a segment to an archiver's network address \(correlating it via cluster\_info table\).
+
+   The clients can then send repair requests to the archiver to retrieve segments.
+
+3. Validators would need to invalidate this list every N turns.
+
+## Sybil attacks
+
+For any random seed, we force everyone to use a signature that is derived from a PoH hash at the turn boundary. Everyone uses 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 archivers 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, archiver 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 to catch bad actors and archivers from being denied rewards.
+
+* Validator stealing mining proof results for itself. The proofs are derived
+
+  from a signature from an archiver, 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 archivers 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 archivers 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.
+
+* Archiver 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
+
+The ledger is permitted to fork at slot boundaries. The resulting data structure forms a tree called a _blockstore_. When the validator interprets the blockstore, it must maintain state for each fork in the chain. We call each instance an _active fork_. It is the responsibility of a validator to weigh those forks, such that it may eventually select a fork.
+
+A validator selects a fork by submiting a vote to a slot leader on that fork. The vote commits the validator for a duration of time called a _lockout period_. The validator 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 validator 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 validator votes, any checkpoints beyond the rollback depth become unreachable. That is, there is no scenario in which the validator 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:
+
+![Forks](../.gitbook/assets/forks.svg)
+
+The following sequences are _active forks_:
+
+* {4, 2, 1}
+* {5, 2, 1}
+* {6, 3, 1}
+* {7, 3, 1}
+
+## Pruning and Squashing
+
+A validator 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 validator 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:
+
+![Forks after pruning](../.gitbook/assets/forks-pruned.svg)
+
+The new root is 2, and any active forks that are not descendants from 2 are pruned.
+
+Alternatively, a vote on 6:
+
+![Forks](../.gitbook/assets/forks-pruned2.svg)
+
+The tree remains with a root of 1, since the active fork starting at 6 is only 2 checkpoints from the root.

+# Performance Metrics
+
+Solana cluster performance is measured as average number of transactions per second that the network can sustain \(TPS\). And, how long it takes for a transaction to be confirmed by super majority of the cluster \(Confirmation Time\).
+
+Each cluster node maintains various counters that are incremented on certain events. These counters are periodically uploaded to a cloud based database. Solana's metrics dashboard fetches these counters, and computes the performance metrics and displays it on the dashboard.
+
+## TPS
+
+Each node's bank runtime maintains a count of transactions that it has processed. The dashboard first calculates the median count of transactions across all metrics enabled nodes in the cluster. The median cluster transaction count is then averaged over a 2 second period and displayed in the TPS time series graph. The dashboard also shows the Mean TPS, Max TPS and Total Transaction Count stats which are all calculated from the median transaction count.
+
+## Confirmation Time
+
+Each validator node maintains a list of active ledger forks that are visible to the node. A fork is considered to be frozen when the node has received and processed all entries corresponding to the fork. A fork is considered to be confirmed when it receives cumulative super majority vote, and when one of its children forks is frozen.
+
+The node assigns a timestamp to every new fork, and computes the time it took to confirm the fork. This time is reflected as validator confirmation time in performance metrics. The performance dashboard displays the average of each validator node's confirmation time as a time series graph.
+
+## Hardware setup
+
+The validator software is deployed to GCP n1-standard-16 instances with 1TB pd-ssd disk, and 2x Nvidia V100 GPUs. These are deployed in the us-west-1 region.
+
+solana-bench-tps is started after the network converges from a client machine with n1-standard-16 CPU-only instance with the following arguments: `--tx\_count=50000 --thread-batch-sleep 1000`
+
+TPS and confirmation metrics are captured from the dashboard numbers over a 5 minute average of when the bench-tps transfer stage begins.
