The beginning of a Spec

Over the past weeks, my updates have highlighted many of the ideas emerging from our open design discussions. Now that we have a clearer direction for the design, I wanted to consolidate these ideas into a draft spec. This will serve as a foundation for implementing the first few prototypes, while also providing a structured way to gather feedback and uncover potential blind spots. I expect this spec to suffer significant changes, but it felt like the perfect way to consolidate the ideas, get feedback from the community, and unblock Nazar in case he wants to start prototyping some of the ideas we’ve been discussing.
Very fast archiving

Last time I mentioned that I was looking into Merkle Trees to replace KZG. This week it happened, the whole codebase is basically free from KZG. The only place that is not fully fixed and where I am looking for help is GPU plotting, it broke with all these changes and isn’t the highest priority for me to fix right now.
The data availability problem

This week has been another good week of progress. I finally have a good idea of how shard archiving should work in the happy path, and I’ve started writing a low-level spec for it (that I am hoping to push to this repo soon). Unfortunately, there is still a slight gap in the spec that we need to fill before we can move forward: the data availability problem.
