Ringtail (Boschini et al., ePrint 2024/1113) is third-party prior art; Lux's Corona (Ring-LWE = Module-LWE rank-1) builds on it; Pulsar is Module-LWE rank-k. Retired the conflated boschini2024corona/corona2024/coronago/... bib keys to the single canonical ringtail/corona/pulsar/magnetar keys, rewrote \cite + \bibitem by context, and fixed 'Pulsar (Ring-LWE)' mislabels (Corona where corona.metal/ single-ring/Ringtail-derived; Pulsar where Module-LWE rank-k/ML-DSA). Cryptographer-led.

\section{Activation Roadmap}

\label{sec:activation}
|
|
%% ============================================================================
|
|
|
|
Quasar 3.0 was developed against a fixed activation calendar. The
|
|
following milestones describe the December 2025 release; later items
|
|
(e.g.\ Quasar 4.0 research) belong to Section~\ref{sec:future}.
|
|
|
|
\begin{table}[ht]
|
|
\centering

\small
|
|
\begin{tabular}{@{}lp{3cm}p{8cm}@{}}
|
|
\toprule
|
|
\textbf{Date (2025)} & \textbf{Milestone} & \textbf{Detail} \\
|
|
\midrule
|
|
1 Dec & Devnet freeze &
|
|
Quasar 3.0 binary frozen on \texttt{lux-devnet}; Mode 3 enabled at
|
|
$n=21$. Block time 500\,ms. Three-lane verification on QuasarGPU
|
|
enabled by default. \\[3pt]
|
|
8 Dec & Testnet rollout &
|
|
\texttt{lux-testnet} validators upgrade. Public Z-Chain
|
|
trusted-setup ceremony closes; $\mathit{vk}_Z$ hash published as
|
|
$\mathsf{zchain\_vk\_root}$ at the testnet genesis. \\[3pt]
|
|
15 Dec & \textbf{Spec freeze} &
|
|
This paper, the LP-020 LIP, and the soundness companion
|
|
\cite{qcert-proof} are tagged. No protocol-level changes after this
|
|
date except for security fixes. \\[3pt]
|
|
20 Dec & Final review &
|
|
Cross-team audit closure: Lean~4 / Tamarin proofs reviewed; Z-Chain
|
|
prover and Q-Chain DKG verified on testnet for $\geq 5{,}000$ blocks
|
|
with no QuasarCert verification failures. \\[3pt]
|
|
22 Dec & Mainnet bake &
|
|
Mainnet binaries deployed to validator operators. Read-only
|
|
shadow-fork against the previous network with QuasarCert generation
|
|
enabled (no finality). \\[3pt]
|
|
\textbf{25 Dec} & \textbf{Mainnet activation} &
|
|
Lux relaunch with Quasar 3.0. Mode $\mu = 3$ (Quantum). All seven
|
|
chain roots ($P_\text{val}, Q_\text{cer}, Z_\text{vk},
|
|
A_\text{att}, B_\text{br}, M_\text{mpc}, F_\text{fhe}$) are bound
|
|
into every QuasarCert from genesis. \\[3pt]
|
|
27--31 Dec & Post-activation review &
|
|
Telemetry: per-cert verify latency, Z-Chain prover wall-clock,
|
|
Corona combiner success rate. Operational runbook published as
|
|
the \texttt{quasar-3.0-operations.md} living document. \\

|
|
|
|
The activation is deliberate and singular: the December 2025 cadence
|
|
treats Quasar 3.0 as the long-term consensus baseline for the Lux
|
|
primary network. Subsequent point releases are reserved for security
|
|
fixes; protocol-level evolution (Section~\ref{sec:future}) tracks under
|
|
a separate LP and a separate paper.
