Announcing DOG protocol, an improvement to the @cometBFT mempool gossip sub-system.

The Dynamic Optimal Graph (DOG) protocol slashes bandwidth use, improves performance, and speeds up transaction confirmations. 🧵

1/10 🧵 In the past we wrote about responsiveness in consensus algorithms and why it's a critical property.

Despite its popularity, questions persist about the responsiveness of the Tendermint consensus algorithm.

For everyone in doubt 👇

9/10 In summary, Tendermint is classified as optimistically responsive, meaning it performs well under favorable conditions, but its speed is limited when faced with faulty leaders or network asynchrony (a standard assumption).

1/ Why Build with CometBFT?

@cometbft has a modular design and language flexibility, allowing the system to be pulled apart if and where necessary, making it a flexible and easy-to-use solution for various distributed applications.
