Network synchrony describes the degree to which nodes in a distributed system agree on the current state of the network and the order of operations. Achieving synchrony is essential for consistent transaction processing and maintaining the integrity of a shared ledger. Different consensus protocols offer varying levels of synchrony.
Context
News about network synchrony often relates to the performance and finality of transactions on various blockchains. Reports may discuss how network latency or node communication affects agreement, or how protocol upgrades aim to improve synchronization. Evaluating network synchrony is key to understanding a blockchain’s speed, scalability, and overall operational effectiveness.
This research introduces provable liveness accountability, enabling verifiable identification of nodes causing consensus stalls for enhanced blockchain reliability.
