Four documents, the same five questions.
No throughput league table and no yield. The cells are what this library is willing to say about the text.
| Question | DFINITY Consensus System |
|---|---|
| What the text proposes | The DFINITY consensus overview: a randomness beacon, a ranking of block proposers, and notarisation so that a chain can come to agreement quickly among a large set. The Internet Computer is the later network built by the DFINITY foundation on this line of research. |
| Who may write | Timo Hanke, Mahnush Movahedi, Dominic Williams |
| What is settled | A threshold relay produces randomness that subsequent rounds depend on. |
| Load-bearing assumption | The consensus overview is not the Internet Computer interface spec. |
| What this library says afterwards | Threshold cryptography concentrates trust in the ceremony and the key-sharing assumption. That has to be read, not skipped. |
