Whitepaper Reading München [01] - Gatling: Rapid-Fire Consensus
Gatling Rapid-Fire Consensus
We are bringing the Whitepaper Reading Club to Germany, and we're kicking it off with the first paper in Munich!
A discussion on Gatling: Rapid-Fire Consensus from Parallel Composition, a new paper exploring how blockchain consensus can reduce latency by running multiple consensus instances in parallel, then merging their outputs into one ordered log.
The core idea: instead of forcing every proposal to wait for the previous one, Gatling uses parallel composition to push proposal times below normal network-delay limits.
