Protocol Engineer, Settlement Rails
Own the settlement path from mempool to finality. Rust, deterministic state machines, and a healthy respect for 400 ms block times. The protocol you will maintain is v4.2, ratified 2031-03-18. It has not been amended since. Engineers who propose amendments should read the ratification record first — particularly the sections that were reclassified rather than revised.
CHANGELOG — PROTOCOL v4.2, RATIFIED 2031-03-18 (EXCERERPT)
· Finality window: unchanged.
· Block time: unchanged.
· KR-SW settlement latency: reclassified FAULT → ENVIRONMENT (see SZ-4471).
· Migration required: none. Announcement planned: none.
· Note: a reclassification is not a change. The ledger will reflect this.
