Session
There are a few planned changes to Monero's consensus protocol revolving around the block format. A tweak to the PoW algorithm, RandomX, would allow for stability against DoS attacks with significant improvements to negative testing speed in the average case. On the FCMP++ side, to allow for wallets to check FCMP trees provided by nodes, a field called the "FCMP tree root" will be added to the block data. I will also discuss a more speculative change to the p2p protocol which would allow for header-only sync in Monero, and what has already been done to get that set in motion. The combination of all these changes have strong implications for node stability, wallet trust requirements for remote nodes, and the possibility for efficient SPV wallets.
