Decentralized Sequencing

Overview

The cryptographic approach employed by the system ensures a trustless environment for the proposer operation. However, the architecture still faces the challenge of a Single Point of Failure (SPOF). To mitigate this risk, Radius adopts a distributed proposer network. This network comprises multiple proposers operating concurrently to ensure system reliability and continuity.

Functionality

In the event of a proposer failure, the distributed nature of the network allows the remaining proposers to continue operations without interruption. This redundancy enhances the robustness of the system against individual node failures.

Communication and Decision making

To ensure efficient communication and syncing among multiple nodes, Radius adopts a leader-based decision-making process. This strategy eliminates the need for consensus regarding the order and formation of blocks. It clearly outlines the roles and duties of the proposers in the network, distinguishing between the leader and the followers.

Key Benefits

• Reliability: The distributed proposer network significantly reduces the risk associated with a single point of failure, ensuring higher system uptime.

• Efficiency: By eliminating the need for consensus between network members, Radius ensures efficient decision-making among proposers, leading to a swift and reliable sequencing process.

• Scalability: The distributed architecture allows for scalability, accommodating an increasing number of proposers as the network grows.

Conclusion

The implementation of a distributed proposer network represents a strategic approach to enhancing the reliability, scalability, and decision making efficiency of proposer set. This ensures that the system remains robust against failures and maintains continuous operation.
