This upgrade will fundamentally reconstruct the existing Tower BFT and historical proof mechanisms. The new architecture introduces the Votor component, which adopts a lightweight voting aggregation model, allowing block

PANews, August 12 news, Monad officially tweeted to hint that the Mainnet may go live in 2025, while announcing that Monad's BFT Consensus Mechanism will go live on the public Testnet today, which is the first EVM Consensus Mechanism resistant to tail fork.

According to Gate News bot, @0xRainandCoffee published an article introducing the Multi-Concurrent Proposer (MCP) mechanism. This mechanism supports multiple proposers to simultaneously propose sub-blocks and merge them to enhance the censorship resistance of the blockchain network. The MCP mechanism has gained attention in major Blockchain ecosystems: Ethereum plans to reduce reliance on MEV-Boost through MCP; Solana is advancing the implementation of MCP with Application Specific Sorting (ASS), and the Alpenglow upgrade plan further optimizes validator costs; Cosmos explores MCP using the BFT model and secure broadcast protocol; Sei separates data availability and sorting functions based on Autobahn design; Delta adopts concurrent sorters to achieve application specific sorting. Current MCP implementation faces technical challenges such as sorting competition, invalid transaction processing, increased hardware requirements, and finality synchronization.

Golden Finance reported that the Sui Foundation announced the successful deployment of the Mysticeti Testnet. The team stated that this is a new consensus protocol that can reduce the consensus time on Sui by 80% to 390 milliseconds, making it the fastest consensus layer in the industry. Mysticeti was developed based on in-depth research on the Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) consensus mechanism, representing the progress of Narwhal-Bullshark. Sui has introduced the consensus algorithm in its Mainnet. This enhancement optimizes resource utilization, reduces developer complexity, and allows the Sui network to process tens of thousands of transactions per second with latency well below one second.
