    Current approaches applying VDFs to PoS:

    • Approach 1. Execution Extension: Less Frequent WindowPost. Replacing challenge generation with VDF
    • Approach 2. VDF can replace SHA in SDR
      • Issue w/ current HW: limited throughput

    Both approaches seem to require ideal VDFs.

    Supranational VDFs have non-ideal VDF.

    There seems to be a gap.

    Potential research question: are there ways to apply non ideal VDF fruitfully?
