​Ever wondered how thousands of nodes agree on the state of a blockchain in milliseconds?

​Join us at Monad Blitz Abuja for a simple breakdown of consensus protocols.

​We will cover:

• ​How blockchains reach consensus when nodes fail or lie.

• ​Why chains must never stall or fork

• ​How Single Leader leads to censorship

• ​Multiple concurrent proposers and Monad Cadence

​See you there.
