Asymmetric quorums represent a decision-making structure where different participant groups require distinct voting thresholds for action approval. This mechanism allows for varied influence levels or security requirements within a distributed system. For instance, a lower threshold might permit routine operations, while critical changes necessitate a higher, more stringent agreement. This design offers flexibility while bolstering security against singular points of failure.
Context
Asymmetric quorums find particular application in decentralized autonomous organizations and advanced multi-signature arrangements, especially where participant trust or expertise varies. Debates focus on balancing operational efficiency with strong security guarantees, particularly within permissioned blockchain environments. Ongoing research aims to develop dynamic quorum adjustments for complex governance models.
This research introduces a novel asymmetric gather protocol, enabling DAG-based consensus mechanisms to operate efficiently under diverse, subjective trust assumptions, fostering more resilient and scalable blockchains.
