Regarding faster finality, there are two ongoing efforts in what concerns the consensus algorithm:

- one concerns upgrading Emmy+, the current consensus algorithm, and is documented at [Draft: Emmy\* (!134) · Merge Requests · TZIP / tzip · GitLab](https://gitlab.com/tzip/tzip/-/merge_requests/134)
- the other concerns implementing Tenderbake, please see [RFC for Emmy\* - #6 by eugenz](https://forum.tezosagora.org/t/rfc-for-emmy/2610/6) for a short related discussion.
