Plasma Unveils Torch for Dynamic Validator Handoffs Beyond HotStuff
Plasma introduced Torch, a validator handoff design for Fast-HotStuff that is meant to rotate committees without pausing for boundary finality. The design also removes the need for consecutive validator sets to overlap, while a dynamic epoch-boundary feature is still unreleased and under peer review.
What this rests on
What it means
Each sentence links inside to the piece that supports it.
Validators and operators using Fast-HotStuff are the groups most directly affected today, because Torch changes how committee rotation is handled across epochs. The design is framed around moving validators without a pause at the boundary, so anyone watching validator handoffs would notice a different transition pattern tomorrow morning.
