Steelhead: Interleaving Partially Synchronous and Asynchronous Commit Rules on a Shared DAG
George Danezis, Zeno De Angeli, Philipp Jovanovic +3
Dual-mode consensus protocols are fast when the network is partially synchronous and remain live under asynchrony. We introduce Steelhead, a dual-mode mechanism that composes a par…
Barnacle: Adaptive Multi-Leader Scheduling for DAG-Based Consensus
George Danezis, Zeno De Angeli, Alexandru Ianov Vitanov +5
In DAG-based consensus, all validators propose blocks concurrently, and designated leader blocks drive transaction commit. Having multiple leader slots per round cuts queuing laten…
Not All Reads Are Conflicts: A Write-Only Analysis of the Sui Blockchain
Haygen Tsoi, Alberto Sonnino, Philipp Jovanovic
Sui's object-centric data model enables parallel transaction execution, but realised performance is fundamentally bounded by workload contention. Prior empirical analyses of Sui ha…
Finding Nemo-Nemo: CFT DAG-based Consensus in the WAN
Rithwik Kerur, Pasindu Tennage, Philipp Jovanovic +3
This paper introduces Nemo-Nemo, a practical crash-fault tolerant (CFT) consensus protocol designed to outperform existing protocols in wide-area networks by bridging design princi…
