Hi,
I am reading an article on the new consensus version Alpenglow Alpenglow: Solana's Great Consensus Rewrite. It is mentioned that there is an issue with the old consensus described in this article https://tik-db.ee.ethz.ch/file/9d40dad802dd12d9ba1f1b7c1759920c/. Since then has there been any protocol improvements to mitigate this issue (for example one issue mentioned was if a malicious leader sends 3 different versions of the current block to 3 groups of validators of roughly equal size, then the protocol will come to a halt). Specifically how does Alpenglow tackle this type of problems?
Thanks in advance.
