Whitepaper Reading Club: Lagos [04] - Solana Constellation Vs Sui Mysticeti
Lagos [04] - Multiple Concurrent Proposers
Most blockchains rely on a single leader to build blocks, but a new wave of designs allows multiple proposers to contribute concurrently. We’re kicking off a mini-series on Multiple Concurrent Proposer (MCP) architectures comparing Solana’s Constellation to Sui’s Mysticeti.
What we'll discuss:
Why does single-leader block production create a bottleneck?
How Constellation and Mysticeti implement this idea differently?
The core trade-offs each design introduces (latency, coordination, and complexity).
