This is the beginning of structuring Shielded Labs's Crosslink design specification into ZIPs. This version is mostly generated by copilot synthesizing a few sources, and is full of misleading, incorrect, or missing pieces. However, it begins a basic structure with an "overview ZIP" and a "construction ZIP" (which is intended to have similar scope to the TFL book "Crosslink 2 construction").

More ZIPs expected, perhaps for:

  • BFT protocol
  • Changes to PoW state and consensus
  • Roster mechanics & ledger state
  • Networking protocol
  • Activation logic

Auxillary / Related work in our development of the Crosslink Feature Net is decoupled from Crosslink proper, and these auxillary ZIPs could be adopted or rejected independently of the Crosslink design (although rejection would require re-engineering the solutions they provide in the Shielded Labs implementation):

  • A new peer transport protocol (aka "Shielded Transport Pigeon")
  • A new PoW block syncing algorithm
