Scientific Abstract & System Specification
Leader-based consensus suffers from bottlenecks, denial-of-service vulnerabilities, and failover stalls. Validators continuously contribute blocks in parallel to a topological DAG, deriving global order via virtual voting.
Core Architectural Challenge
Leaderless directed acyclic graph consensus providing asynchronous safety and sub-second finality.
Mathematical Basis & Formal Invariants
Demonstrated 240ms median finality over global multi-region WAN links across 120 validator nodes.
