Hermes: Low Tail-Latency Via Prefix Consensus

Alejandro Ranchal-Pedrosa, Dakai Kang, Neil Giridharan +3

Leader-based BFT protocols finalize through their leaders: a view whose leader is crashed or slow finalizes nothing, and the timeout that ends it admits no good setting. A conserva…

Cassandra: Consensus with Partial Progress via Robust Partitionable View Synchronization

Shaokang Xie, Dakai Kang, Junchao Chen +3

Replicated databases and permissioned blockchains rely on Byzantine Fault-Tolerant (BFT) consensus to maintain a consistent order of transactions across replicas. These protocols p…

Carry the Tail in Consensus Protocols

Suyash Gupta, Dakai Kang, Dahlia Malkhi +1

We present Carry-the-Tail, the first deterministic atomic broadcast protocol in partial synchrony that, after GST, guarantees a constant fraction of commits by non-faulty leaders a…

FairDAG: Consensus Fairness over Multi-Proposer Causal Design

Dakai Kang, Junchao Chen, Tien Tuan Anh Dinh +1

The rise of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum has driven interest in blockchain database technology, with smart contracts enabling the growth of decentralized finance (DeF…

HotStuff-1: Linear Consensus with One-Phase Speculation

Dakai Kang, Suyash Gupta, Dahlia Malkhi +1

This paper introduces HotStuff-1, a BFT consensus protocol that improves the latency of HotStuff-2 by two network hops while maintaining linear communication complexity against fau…

SpotLess: Concurrent Rotational Consensus Made Practical through Rapid View Synchronization

Dakai Kang, Sajjad Rahnama, Jelle Hellings +1

The emergence of blockchain technology has renewed the interest in consensus-based data management systems that are resilient to failures. To maximize the throughput of these syste…
