2.7 checkpoints
Restarting all transactions from the formation travel is expensive, and with the use of Blockchain, it becomes a banned speed, so new participants want to join the system. The cost of storing Blockchain blocks grows in line with the passage of time, and to keep ETHEREUM any kind of providing ancient Trie case can become very expensive. In the past, Bitcoin has made a kind of commitment to Uber by launching new customers with “checkpoints”, where the condition was combined at the height of the client. Low -numbers can be ignored safely, since everyone has a case – the checkpoint status – from restarting the latest transactions. Since then, Bitcoin has removed checkpoints because it has been seen as creating confusion/wrong concepts about the safety model.
\ In addition to reducing the cost of entering to join the system, Checkpointing reduces the cost of saving records for the current participants. This is the “definition” level of the final: The effect of transactions that fell before the checkpoint, as the associated records are likely to be unavailable.
\ Beyond the cost of access or continuous operational costs, checkpoints are also used in conjunction with governance mechanisms to recover catastrophic errors. Many Blockchain systems that have suffered from problems, for example, huge symbolic losses due to errors in the critical Blockchain code or smart contracts, resorted to difficult thorns to recover from these errors despite the transactions that reach the state’s finals; Checkpointing is very soon-if older checkpoints are not kept-you will prevent recovery by returning to the status of the checkpoint and re-executing (using fixed versions of the code, etc.) in the original login order.

2.7.1 checkpoints for long -range attacks
\ Note that checkpoints address a different problem from long -term attacks. In long -term attacks, we are concerned about exposure to the old encryption switches used by the members of the previous consensus committee to design points [2]. Perhaps these members have left the ecosystem and their old keys are no longer treated carefully; Worse than that, these former members decided with the rationality of their signature auction on the dark network, because they no longer carry any symbols and they have nothing to lose. Such are useless keys when using them to provide false information to Blockchain participants who know the current committee formation and track the transactions and committee elections. However, think about a threat model where you wake up a victim of Rip Van Winkle after a period of lack of activity and is placed in one way or another in beginning Virtual World style / information bubble. This bubble liquidates the legitimate information about the current case of the post blockchain and instead makes the available information created only to make a branched chain-it is possible because of a high threshold of the keys to excessive/transverse organs [2].
The Inception Information Bubble is an interesting threat model. If it is applied to Blockchains Pow, the victim cannot know whether the series they see is already the longest chain – where the longest “longest” reaches the comprehensive amount, and global information is needed. It is estimated that the series takes He should This may be possible if there is a reliable time, but this is a possibility of its nature: the rate of production depends on the blocks on each of the changes in the protocol teacher and the number of active miners, which relates to economic attractiveness to participate (relative to all other investments) from the restrictions of the account force. Moreover, this length estimation applies only to the entire chain sector because the victim is asleep and does not help much with the “longer” Musnad because the fork can be very modern.
\ Without the back forces to install Eclipse attacks [6]The opponent should be unable to confuse potential victims. A possible victim can check that they have a current offer for Blockchain: They only inquire N Sources of division of modern blocs on the chain. If it is the majority M Among this retail on the same series, these sources are honest, not the eclipse, and continued to be observers from Blockchain, and the potential victim will be able to distinguish between the global unanimous unanimous series and a strict chain created with long -range switches. here M ≤ N It is a security parameter, it can be chosen so that the opponent-ESQEE must start extraditing many keys (or its holders) from just members N It can be much larger than the size of the consensus committee.

2.7.2 zero attacks / failure in the common situation
\ Checkpointing is dedicated to dealing with relatively handling recently Attacks of zero day, where a superphat threshold of the current consensus committee is at risk, or a recently discovered twice is exploited in the Rollup program. We do not imagine that it is useful to deal with attacks that have not been noticed for a long time, because any actual way to address it will be complicated. The successive causal relationship of newer transactions is likely to lead depending on the output cases of old transactions to the explosion of transactions that will be aborted in a new interpretation of its effects when they have been committed before.
\ The design decision is whether examination will be performed at all, and if so, how much, in real time, in actual time, ban numbers, etc. – should be a final treatment before it is included at a checkpoint. This decision is basically the Blockchain version of Law of statute of limitations In many legal systems. Unlike the regular laws of restrictions that determine a time limit for the type of crime – and for some crimes there are no limits – the scope point should be treated: all transactions, regardless of the contracts that they may be associated with, you must be treated in the same way.
\
\ The Case Association / Value at the checkpoint is a temporary obstacle: the transactions earlier from the checkpoint “the checkpoint finals”, as the records that allow them to restart them in the alternative environment that was installed is not available. Note that, unlike the final arrangement of transactions and the end of the country that usually occurs at the same time, as is the case when their registry entries are entered, the final point of the checkpoint can be final after a long time after determining the state as a checkpoint candidate. For example, the system can record that the state will become the next inspection point as soon as the Blockchain mass has a certain value (which is expected to occur in about six months, for example) or when the timeline witnesses that a specific date has been reached. The introduction of the registry makes the decision notable, but the checkpoint finals do not necessarily occur until the conditions of other gates are met.
\ The state’s final is separated from the checkpoint finals to deal with the possibility of catastrophic failure provides a danger to those who need external measures on chimneys based on the state finals. External procedures cannot always be retracted. We believe that this can be dealt with using an insurance model: for example, an insurance policy can be provided based on the type of external procedure and the appearance of the risk to make the participants complete, in case of calling a checkpoint/restart due to the catastrophic failure that causes the appropriate external procedure to change.
