hardcore tech instead of wishful thinking is more needed than ever ....

asynchronous consensus was pushed down to “optimal”, via clever use of threshold signatures; recent efforts wants hash only, however, at the price of communication blow up, or resilience lowering down. Finally, we can claim victory again eprint.iacr.org/2024/1710

Dumbo-MPC (led by Yuan Lu ) is directly accepted to USENIX Security . When you've worked enough for async consensus, naturally you'd like to examine mpc, for which, surprisingly rare practical instances turn out to exist... Paper can be found: eprint.iacr.org/2024/1705

see you there~

After two fierce rejs, our first hash based MVBA with optimal complexities seems to be liked :) eprint.iacr.org/2024/479 when there is no heavy hammers, things get tricky; hope our other even stronger result eprint.iacr.org/2024/1710 ends up with a less bumpy life ...
