A signature scheme that is efficient and composable in order to sign my blocks and eventually my transactions.

A UTXO data structure that contains data consensus in order to efficiently draw and store new data from/to it.

Node operators can create a transaction that marks their UTXO as “frozen” so that they can use it as collateral for running a validator node.

Stellar Consensus Protocol code (SCP) integration into AGORA in order for the basic block of consensus to work.

Users can now run AGORA on windows devices

A collection of validators combined together in a smaller group (or quorum) and each of these validators can can then validate that each other is in fact telling the truth. We have decided to use SCP (Stellar Consensus Protocol) to assist in the implementation of this. Using SCP out of the box calls for quorums to be manually configured by the user. We are taking things a step further and improving the pre-existing foundation of SCP by creating our own modified version of it that automates the quorum creation process. By automating this process you no longer have to worry about who to trust or how trust is created. The only thing you need to worry about is having at least 40,000 BOA in your possession. You can easily set things up and forget about it.

Previously a Validatorr would broadcast messages to its connected peers through a function. The issue was that the list of peers as a subset of Validators. This implementation changes that.

This gives us the ability to create documentaion related to PRs

Instead of having the pre-image reveal happen on 'putTransaction' it will now be done on a timer.

Currently the nomination protocol is handled by SCP, but we have to assess the changes required (if any) that come with making the network open.
