@Walrus 🦭/acc Reconfiguration is where storage systems usually get hand-wavy: a new committee shows up, the old one fades out, and everyone hopes the data doesn’t fall between the cracks. Walrus tries to make that handoff explicit. During the handover period, both committees stay live; writes can be directed to the incoming committee as soon as the transition begins, while reads can still lean on the old committee when needed. The new committee “earns” the switch by bootstrapping its shard—recovering the slivers it’s missing—and only when a supermajority signals readiness does the epoch actually flip. With Walrus now operating beyond testnet into mainnet reality, this is trending because churn isn’t theoretical anymore—it’s Tuesday.
