Consensus communication rounds are the iterative message exchanges among network nodes required to reach agreement on the state of a distributed ledger. These rounds involve nodes proposing blocks, validating transactions, and voting on the canonical chain. The number and efficiency of these rounds directly influence a blockchain’s transaction finality and scalability. Successful completion of these rounds ensures all participants share a consistent view of the ledger.
Context
Optimizing consensus communication rounds is a central challenge in designing high-performance blockchain protocols. Research often focuses on reducing latency and bandwidth consumption without compromising security or decentralization. Future protocol upgrades frequently target improvements in these communication processes to increase transaction speeds. The efficiency of these rounds significantly impacts the user experience and overall utility of digital asset networks.
