AMBR Consensus Mechanism

The 4 mainstream consensus mechanisms are PoW, PoS, DPoS, and DAG.

Consensus Mechanism refers to an algorithm that achieves consensus on the chronological order of transactions within a time window. The consensus mechanism aims to solve consistency problems in a distributed architecture. To ensuring security and consistency, research on consensus mechanisms has been centered on balancing system performance efficiency, scalability, and resource consumption. The mainstream consensus mechanisms include Pow (Proof of Work), Pos (Proof of Stake and DPOS (Delegated Proof of Stake).

Ambr uses Casper and DAG as the basis for consensus, having both the security and decentralization features of Casper, and the ultra-high throughput of a DAG. The consensus system consists of the verifier, account chain, verification chain, transaction unit and verification unit.
