Block Proposer Mechanism

Definition

A Block Proposer Mechanism is the protocol rule set that determines which node or validator is selected to create the next block on a blockchain. This selection process is a core component of various consensus algorithms, including Proof of Stake variants. The chosen proposer aggregates transactions, validates them, and constructs a new block for network verification. Its operation ensures an orderly and consistent addition of data to the distributed ledger.
