Resources

Resources on Peras, recommended to look at in roughly this order:

Cardano Problem Statement (CPS) on "Settlement Speed", the objective of Peras: https://github.com/cardano-foundation/CIPs/blob/master/CPS-0017/README.md
Cardano Improvement Proposal (CIP) on Peras directly: https://github.com/cardano-foundation/CIPs/blob/master/CIP-0140/README.md
The SoW
Video on Peras by an IOG researcher: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRJzwoArqg4 (ignore the "Avoiding the cooldown phase" part at the end, this is not part of the "pre-alpha" version of Peras that we are focusing on)
From the Peras web site:
- The FAQ
- The simulator
- The dashboard (just briefly at first)
- The technical reports (1&2), lots of overlap with the CIP, but sometimes more details, so makes sense to just skim them first
