Our assessment and current plan to address the two issues recently reported on the implementation of Adaptive Issuance in the Oxford proposal :

On the issues reported in Adaptive Issuance's implementation

Two issues in the implementation of Adaptive Issuance in the Oxford protocol proposal have been recently discovered. They affect: the computation of the dynamic rate; and, the computation of attestation rewards. In both cases, the observed behavior deviates slightly from what’s prescribed in the published specification: The first issue renders the dynamic rate practically unpredictable, though its value would always remain within protocol-specified bounds of [0%, 5%]. Consequently, the nomi…
