Objective: Introduce Firedancer, Multi-Local Consensus &
Validators.
Fogo is built around ultra-fast technology and sometimes difficult to understand. This topic is a
bit technical but necessary to understand how fogo works and why.
Firedancer Client :
Firedancer is a high-performance, independent validator designed to improve speed, scalability, and resilience.
- Extreme Performance.
-
Security by Design.
-
Resilience & Decentralization
Multi-Local Consensus :
Multi-Local Consensus is a zone-based distributed consensus mechanism designed to enhance network performance and scalability.
- Validators co-locate in strategic global zones.
-
Each "zone" runs local consensus for ultra-low latency trading during active hours.
-
"Follow-the-sun" model: consensus shifts dynamically to serve active markets.
-
Fallback global consensus ensures resilience.
Validator Structure:
Validator Structure is optimized for fast and secure consensus.
- Initially permissioned, curated for high reliability.
-
Stake-weighted governance for validator rotation and zone creation.
-
Two-tier keys: global identity and zone-specific.
-
Initially 20-50 validators.
