BFT Consensus

Locus Chain adopts a Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) consensus mechanism, establishing a consensus committee to finalize blockchain transactions. The consensus outcomes are immediate, deterministic, and irreversible.
Upon a transaction’s inclusion in a block and unanimous agreement, the block is recorded in the network as a reliable state. No node can subsequently alter it.
This deterministic consensus mechanism ensures the rapid finalization of transactions and minimizes uncertainties.

Locus Chain processes transactions at the shard level, where all transactions within a shard are finalized through shard consensus.
Shard consensus is performed collaboratively by nodes within a shard, ensuring the accuracy and integrity of all transactions. Upon completion of shard consensus, the data within the shard is considered verified and reliable.

The consensus results from individual shards are integrated into a World Block, ensuring a consistent state across the entire Locus Chain.
The World Block acts as a master record, encompassing data from all shards and serving as a reference point for verifying all transactions within the network.
World consensus guarantees the correctness of inter-shard transactions and data movements, maintaining the network’s reliability and stability.

Locus Chain provides global transparency and trust from the moment a transaction is finalized through its Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) deterministic consensus. The consensus outcomes are immutable, ensuring the network’s integrity.
The consensus mechanism enables transactions to be trusted immediately upon agreement, allowing for rapid decision-making and execution. This delivers significant advantages, particularly in applications requiring fast processing.
