Placeholder TIP for the concept described in July 2020 Tech paper
Core protocol updates The DART will be used for protocol updates by the following consensus. One or more nodes will need to run the new protocol update in a parallel DART containing the same transaction information as the current accepted DART. The new DART will have a new Bull’s eye, and this will result in a fork of the Bull’s eye chain. When the majority of the nodes run the newly upgraded nodes, they can decide to drop support for the old DART and run the new DART. When enough nodes stop running the old DART, it will not be able to reach a consensus, and the upgrade has completed.
