A Tight Analysis of GHOST Consistency to improve Bitcoin

> The GHOST protocol has been proposed as an improvement to the Nakamoto consensus
mechanism that underlies Bitcoin. In contrast to the Nakamoto fork-choice rule, the GHOST rule
justifies selection of a chain with weights computed over subtrees rather than individual paths. This
mechanism has been adopted by a variety of consensus protocols, and is a part of the currently deployed protocol supporting Ethereum.
