Four documents, the same five questions.
No throughput league table and no yield. The cells are what this library is willing to say about the text.
| Question | Proof of Stake: How I Learned to Love Weak Subjectivity |
|---|---|
| What the text proposes | A node that has been offline longer than a known window must take a recent checkpoint from a source it already trusts. Inside the window, the protocol can defend itself. |
| Who may write | Vitalik Buterin |
| What is settled | The checkpoint is not a new consensus algorithm. |
| Load-bearing assumption | Weak subjectivity is not trustlessness from genesis for a new node. |
| What this library says afterwards | A reading of the public document. Not a copy of it, and not a claim about a later network that reused the name. |
| Rights | Official external source only |
