Multi-proposer systems are blockchain architectures where multiple network participants are simultaneously or sequentially eligible to propose new blocks for addition to the chain. This contrasts with single-proposer models where only one entity is selected per block interval. The design aims to enhance decentralization, improve network liveness, and reduce the potential for single points of failure or censorship. Such systems can also increase transaction throughput and reduce latency by distributing block production responsibilities.
Context
The implementation of multi-proposer systems is a significant area of research in scaling blockchain networks and improving their resilience. Debates often concern the complexity of coordinating multiple proposers and the mechanisms for resolving conflicts or ensuring consistent block ordering. Future developments aim to optimize these systems for fairness and efficiency, particularly in proof-of-stake environments where validator sets are dynamic.
Research exposes how leaderless DAG consensus protocols, designed for throughput, introduce a new, exploitable frontrunning vector during transaction finalization.
