Phase 13: Advanced Blockchain Enhancements
Research-driven enhancements to GHOSTDAG, quantum cryptography, Layer 2, and gateway architecture
Overview
Phase 13 builds upon Synor's already advanced foundation:
- GHOSTDAG consensus (k=18, 10 BPS)
- Hybrid Ed25519 + Dilithium3 quantum-resistant signatures
