Federated chains

Chains whose consensus is reached among a defined federation of validators — an RPCA on XRPL, Federated Byzantine Agreement on Stellar, Proof of Authority variants, or a permissioned quorum. Not "permissionless" in the Bitcoin sense: participation is by admission. Finality is fast; trust is placed in the federation.
