I wrote a bit about Farcasters consensus model, and the specific tradeoffs we had to navigate. Planning on sharing more broadly tomorrow, any feedback is appreciated! https://www.varunsrinivasan.com/2024/04/28/the-goldilocks-consensus-problem

The problem is mostly due to the graph size which keeps growing. I think the best solution will be freezing parts of the graph like older data to prevent changes, which will reduce the space you need search for missing deltas.

Yes, exactly I believe industry standards is something like after 90 days - use case is very different and more analytical. Although people do still reply and react to older casts. I think Reddit has some freezing and archival mechanism something like 6 months
