swiftConsensusEngine

The Swift Consensus Engine (SCE) is a fundamental component of Intelchain’s blockchain infrastructure designed to enhance consensus efficiency, security, and scalability. Below are the key details:

Swift Consensus Engine (SCE) Overview​

1. Core Attributes:​

  • Implements a hybrid consensus combining Efficient Proof of Stake (EPoS) and Fast Byzantine Fault Tolerance (FBFT) mechanisms.

  • Balances between high-speed transaction validation and robust network security.

2. Mechanism Highlights:​

  • Layered Consensus: Utilizes shard-level and beacon-level consensus layers to ensure efficiency and prevent bottlenecks.

  • Dynamic Validator Assignment: Randomized and periodic validator rotation enhances decentralization and security against coordinated attacks.

3. Sharding Integration:​

  • SCE is tightly coupled with Intelchain’s sharded architecture.

  • Facilitates parallel transaction processing across shards, with beacon nodes finalizing global consensus.

4. Security Features:​

  • Ensures resilience against 51% attacks through randomized node assignments and balanced staking across shards.

  • Leverages the AI-driven SAGE system to monitor validator behavior and enforce penalties for malicious actions.

5. Efficiency Optimization:​

  • Maximizes throughput by dynamically adjusting validator assignments based on transaction loads.

  • Ensures low-latency finality by combining EPoS for shard-level validations and FBFT for global consensus.
