Beneath the layers of privacy and compliance, every blockchain needs a robust engine for consensus.
@Dusk has engineered its own high-performance solution: the Segregated Byzantine Agreement (SBA). This isn't a modified version of existing models; it's a novel consensus mechanism designed specifically for the demands of regulated finance—finality, speed, and energy efficiency.
Unlike Proof-of-Work (energy-intensive) or standard Proof-of-Stake (which can have probabilistic finality), SBA introduces a unique "block generation lottery" combined with a BFT-style agreement. Here's why it matters:
· Deterministic Finality: Transactions are finalized in seconds, not just probabilistically confirmed. For settling a stock trade or bond transaction, this certainty is non-negotiable. No rollbacks.
· Energy Efficiency: As a PoS-derived model, it secures the network without massive computational waste, aligning with ESG principles crucial for institutional adoption.
· Scalability for Finance: The architecture is designed to handle high throughput of complex transactions, a must for supporting liquid markets.
SBA turns
$DUSK stakers into "Provisioners," who are randomly and secretly selected to propose blocks, enhancing security. This technical cornerstone ensures the network is not only compliant but also capable, green, and reliable enough to be the settlement layer for global finance. It's the unsung hero enabling Dusk's ambitious vision.
