Leaderless Protocols are distributed systems that do not rely on a single point of authority or a designated leader for coordination or decision-making. Instead, they utilize consensus mechanisms where all participants have a role in validating transactions and maintaining the network’s state. This design promotes greater resilience and censorship resistance.
Context
Leaderless protocols are foundational to many decentralized blockchain networks, and discussions often revolve around their scalability, security, and governance models. News coverage frequently examines the trade-offs between decentralization and performance in various leaderless architectures, as well as the potential for Sybil attacks and other vulnerabilities. Ongoing research aims to refine consensus algorithms and incentive structures to bolster the robustness of these distributed systems.
