You got me. Yes, I am part of the Blankline team.

To clarify the confusion: D2 is the beta engine currently on our website. D3 is the new architecture in these papers. We developed D3 specifically to solve the context limits we hit with D2.

I posted these papers 'anonymously' because I wanted to see if the D3 research (specifically the Trajectory Vectors) stood on its own merit without the bias of a 'Show HN' launch. That was a mistake, and I apologize for the cloak and dagger.

The good news: We are officially releasing the D3 update tomorrow, as per our internal schedule. The papers were just the pre-read. You'll be able to test the 'Flash-Gated Consensus' yourself in 24 hours.
