This addresses the need for scalable and efficient consensus mechanisms in permissioned blockchain systems, representing an incremental advancement over existing protocols.
The paper tackles the problem of achieving consensus in permissioned blockchains by introducing Casanova, a leaderless optimistic protocol that produces blocks in a DAG and resolves conflicts by singling out individual transactions, resulting in improved efficiency and scalability.
We introduce Casanova, a leaderless optimistic consensus protocol designed for a permissioned blockchain. Casanova produces blocks in a DAG rather than a chain, and combines voting rounds with block production by singling out individual conflicting transactions.
