Solana Consensus Lab for the win! This is just the beginning!
Presented @SolConsensusLab at 22:42 on @solana_devs live broadcast A few things I couldn't cover in the 4min 1. Origin: SCL started after Roger Wattenhofer's (@TheWattenhofer) guest lecture on Alpenglow. Getting a like from him, as Anza's Head of Research, feels like a meaningful full-circle moment. 2. Faithfulness over visuals: Building a visualizer was the easy part. Making it trustworthy and faithful to the actual papers was the real challenge. 3. CLI support: SCL also has a CLI that produces deterministic outputs, as documented in the project docs. There's a lot more to SCL than what fits into 4 minutes. Thanks to everyone who checked it out! Thank you @SolanaFndn for making this possible! xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1nxnRBMDW…

The feedback was the product is pretty hard to navigate for someone who is using it for the first time, so we fixed it!
