Consensus Algorithm
Mysticeti
It allows multiple validators to propose blocks in parallel, utilizing the full bandwidth of the network and providing censorship resistance. These are features of the DAG-based consensus protocols. It takes only three rounds of messages to commit blocks from the DAGs, same as pBFT and matches the theoretical minimum. The commit rule allows voting and certifying leaders on blocks in parallel, further reducing the median and tail latencies. The commit rule also tolerates unavailable leaders without significantly increasing the commit latencies.
