#dusk $DUSK @Dusk Most blockchain posts talk about what happens when everything works.
I went looking for what Dusk does when things go wrong.
Its consensus has an emergency mode for situations where provisioners are offline or isolated and repeated iterations fail.
After the defined threshold, the protocol can keep open iterations running until it gets the quorum it needs. And if the network reaches the extreme case, provisioners with a majority of total stake can request an emergency block.
That’s the kind of detail I actually like seeing in a whitepaper.
Not just:
“Here’s how the chain works.”
But also:
“Here’s what we do when the chain doesn’t behave normally.”
