Cassandra [ /kəˈsændrə/ ] is a research project spearheaded by Dan Hughes to address two critical issues that could arise in a sharded network, specifically Radix’s forthcoming Xi'an release:

  1. What happens if a subset of validators cease processing transactions, leading to a liveness failure?
  2. How can validator sets be dynamically adjusted in case of liveness failures?
