There are various steps that a node needs to take to bootstrap to Polkadot network. There are some nework related tasks:

  • Discovery.
  • Befriending peers at libp2p level.
  • ...
    But also there are different tasks at Polkadot level
  • confirming network/genesis hash.
  • Exchanging status messages.
  • Importing blocks.
  • updating Authority set.
  • Updating the finalization rounds
  • Last finalized block.
    ....
    It seems that it merits its own chapter where possibly refers to Algorithms from other chapters.
