Leaderless Synchronization

Definition

Leaderless synchronization describes a coordination mechanism in distributed systems where participants reach agreement on a shared state without relying on a single, designated coordinator or leader. Each node operates autonomously, contributing to the collective state through peer-to-peer communication and established protocols. This approach enhances fault tolerance and censorship resistance, as no single entity controls the synchronization process. It promotes a more robust and resilient system architecture.
