| Stake Distribution Snapshot | $s$ slots | A snapshot of note commitments are taken at the beginning of the epoch. We wait for this value to finalize before entering the next phase. |
| Buffer phase | $s$ slots | After the stake distribution is finalized, we wait another slot finality period before entering the next phase. This is to further ensure that there is at least one honest leader contributing to the epoch nonce randomness.
