The Agreement Stage in a distributed system refers to the point where all participating nodes reach a consensus on a specific state or transaction order. This phase precedes the finalization and permanent recording of data onto the ledger. It is a critical step in maintaining the integrity and consistency of the blockchain. This stage ensures all parties accept the proposed changes.
Context
In blockchain consensus mechanisms, the agreement stage is fundamental for achieving network security and preventing forks. This stage confirms that a majority of validators or miners concur on the validity of transactions within a block. Ensuring robust agreement protocols is essential for the reliability and immutability of the entire decentralized ledger, particularly under adversarial conditions.
By introducing Graded Broadcast, Falcon BFT bypasses the high-latency agreement stage, achieving continuous block commitment and superior asynchronous performance.
