Leaderless Decentralized Consensus describes a method of achieving agreement across a distributed network without relying on a single designated entity to propose or validate blocks. All participating nodes contribute equally to the consensus process, preventing any central point of control or failure. This approach strengthens network resilience and censorship resistance.
