Common use of Future Works Clause in Contracts

Future Works. The network assumptions we have used allow to describe the protocol and prove its proper- ties in a clean and intuitive way, however they are quite unrealistic in practical applications. So the MBA protocol should be extended for usage in asynchronous and incomplete networks, that model more closely real-life communication channels. This would obviously allow to apply the protocol to a variety of practical problems, such as blockchain platforms implementing shard- ing. In fact, the MBA Protocol, if designed for asynchronous networks, would allow the nodes working on different shards to synchronize their operations creating an extremely regulated environment, which gives the right conditions for a practical reconciliation of the transactions recorded on the shards.
