Quorum efficiency quantifies how effectively a distributed system attains agreement among its participating nodes, specifically regarding the size of the necessary voting group. It measures the minimum count of honest participants required for a consensus protocol to function correctly and securely. Greater efficiency often means fewer resources are expended to reach agreement.
Context
Quorum efficiency represents a crucial design consideration for distributed ledger technologies, particularly those utilizing Byzantine Fault Tolerance consensus mechanisms. News frequently reports on protocol enhancements aimed at improving this metric, as it directly influences transaction finality, latency, and the overall economic viability of a network. Optimizing quorum size while preserving security remains a continuous challenge for protocol developers seeking to augment network performance.
A novel DAG-based consensus protocol leverages Trusted Execution Environments to significantly improve scalability, reduce communication overhead, and ensure censorship resistance.
