Coordination messages are communications between nodes in a distributed system to achieve agreement. These messages facilitate the exchange of information necessary for participants to collectively validate transactions, propose new blocks, or confirm the state of a shared ledger. They are essential for maintaining consistency and order within a decentralized network, ensuring all operational nodes operate based on synchronized data. The efficiency and reliability of these messages directly influence network performance and finality.
Context
The volume and structure of coordination messages significantly impact the scalability and latency of blockchain networks. Developers are actively researching methods to optimize these communications, such as using more efficient data structures or reducing the number of required message exchanges. Future advancements aim to minimize network overhead while preserving the security guarantees of distributed consensus.
