Sei is often said to be the fastest blockchain. But what does it really mean to be the fastest blockchain, and how did Sei Network achieve it?
The @SeiNetwork uses a Twin-Turbo consensus mechanism to address blockchain efficiency and improve block finality. These features along with its built-in orderbook promises a more efficient, transparent, and user-friendly experience.
⇨ Twin-Turbo Consensus
Before explaining the Twin-Turbo consensus, it’s important to understand that it’s based on Cosmos’ Tendermint consensus.
In reality the lifecycle of a transaction is more complex, however, the most significant time is taken by consensus. The complexity of it comes down to a few portions:
⪼ Transaction Creation / Submission (negligible time)
⪼ Mempool (1-N seconds, highly variable)
⪼ Block Proposal (negligible time)
⪼ Attestation and Block Building (~12 seconds)
⪼ Block Finalization (minutes to hours)
The fourth step here is my main focus for this post - consensus. On Ethereum, the process of validators attesting and building out a block takes 12 seconds in total.
In the case of Sei, Sei Network opted for a different consensus mechanism to Ethereum, known as “tendermint consensus”, which has a 6 second block time.
Tendermint consensus offers a ‘single slot finality’, which provides instantaneous block finalization. It has a 6-second block finality time and almost negates the waiting period to finalize blocks on the network.
This was the starting point to begin optimizing for the fastest time to finality possible; Sei Network underwent rigorous performance testing to understand the bottlenecks, and was able to push Tendermint to its limits.
Through the improvements, Sei Network built a Twin Turbo consensus on Tendermint, taking Tendermint���s 6 second blocktimes to <400 ms, with single slot finality.
In a nutshell, Twin-Turbo Consensus is the optimization of block propagation and block processing to help create the fastest chain in production today.
Sei's Twin-Turbo consensus drastically reduces TTF to milliseconds, which means your transactions on the blockchain are almost instant (<400 ms).
With @SeiNetwork , Tendermint became optimized in two ways; an intelligent block propagation technique and optimistic block processing, which reduced the ‘time to finality’.
To fully understand the reason for these optimizations, allow me unpack Tendermint’s underlying technology first.
Under the hood, a block proposer first creates a block with all the transactions in it. A block proposal containing the block’s hash will then be created and distributed across the global network of validators.
Upon receiving the block proposal, validators must wait to receive the complete block with all key information needed to verify its contents, then proceed with consensus before committing the block to the blockchain.
However, when a full node receives a transaction, it gets broadcasted to other nodes in the network. This leads to redundant data transmission and increased waiting time, as 99.99% of the time, validators already have all transactions required in their mempools to form a block locally.
Now that we've gotten a grasp of the basics of Tendermint, let’s get into the optimizations made to the Tendermint consensus algorithm:
⪼ Intelligent Block Propagation
The first potential optimization identified by Sei Network in the Tendermint algorithm was this “unnecessary wait time”. Sei flipped this on its head with its block propagation technique: instead of initially sending out the entire block to other validators of the network, block proposers send a compact block proposal (as a single message) containing unique transaction identifiers, together with a reference to the full block.
Proposers first disseminate the proposal to the validators, followed by the entire block containing the full contents of each transaction. The block is then broken into smaller parts and randomly gossiped to the other validators.
If a validator already has all the necessary transactions, it can immediately reconstruct the full block locally without waiting for individual block parts to be sent across the network. If not, it waits until it has the complete content of the block then reconstructs it with all of its transactions.
This process is known as “intelligent block propagation”, an optimization that significantly reduces the time validators would spend waiting for data to form a block, thereby enhancing the network's throughput and reducing latency.
Essentially, block proposers on the SEI network can transmit compressed block proposals that only include transaction hashes rather than each transaction’s full details.
This intelligent block propagation avoids unnecessary waiting time and increases transaction throughput by over 40%.
⪼ Optimistic Block Processing
The second optimization was identified in the overall consensus steps taken in Tendermint. The idea here was to modify the overall process so that consensus steps can happen simultaneously; saving significant time.
After block proposal, prevote and precommit are crucial steps that traditionally must happen before block processing and committing takes place. This is because the block might potentially be rejected by validators if it doesn’t comply with the consensus rules, or in other words fail block validation.
Optimistic block processing reduces latency and improves throughput by 33%. It works hand in hand with intelligent block propagation to speed up consensus such that;
It takes the first block at any given height where the validator would receive it, run sanity checks and start processing it simultaneously during prevote and precommit. The optimistic block processing then writes the candidate state to a cache.
This allows validators process transactions optimistically as soon as they receive a valid block proposal, rather than waiting until the pre-commit step ends.
In other words, they process transactions before they are fully validated. The logic behind adopting this approach is that in most cases, the first proposed block at any given height is the one that gets accepted after voting.
Therefore, initiating the processing of transactions from the first block right away capitalizes on this likelihood.
Should the block be accepted, the candidate state cache processed optimistically is committed to the blockchain instantaneously.
However if the block gets rejected, then the data from the cache is discarded, and future rounds of that block height will not use optimistic block processing. The validator then reset and prepare to process the next block proposal.
This concept leverages the typically predictable behavior of block acceptance in order to significantly speed up transaction processing time, while countering the potential rejection a block might face, underscoring the commitment of Sei Network to high performance.
⪼ Trade-Offs
With Sei Network achieving these rapid times to finality, it may seem like a no-brainer to implement these same enhancements on other blockchains. However, it is important to acknowledge that trade-offs do exist to achieve this user experience;
➡️Quadratic Communication Complexity:
As I mentioned earlier that tendermint ensures rapid finality, which accelerates the “decision making” process within the network. It also establishes a key communication pattern where each validator has to communicate with every other validator to reach consensus.
The trade-off here is quadratic communication complexity, which means the number of messages grows significantly as more validators join the network.
This makes it more difficult to increase the number of nodes in the network than usual, since a much larger set of validators will result in increased bandwidth and processing requirements. While the existing validator set continues to grow at a steady pace, with nodes already distributed across multiple continents, Sei plans to further address this issue through its decentralization efforts covered in its roadmap, aiming to maintain network performance with the globally distributed set of validators alongside light clients for trustless verification.
⇨ To crown it all
Sei's Twin-Turbo consensus represents great enhancement in blockchain technology, pushing the boundaries of finality speed to deliver the user experience that is unparalleled today.
By reducing TTF to <400ms, Sei has set a new standard in transaction processing speed, making it the fastest blockchain to finality currently available.
Both TTC’s concepts enhance the well understood and proven tendermint consensus mechanism used by all cosmos blockchains today; where the former allows validators to quickly construct blocks from existing mempool transactions, while the latter slashes idle time by enabling immediate transaction processing upon receiving the block proposal’s receipt.
As Sei continues to evolve, its focus on optimizing every aspect of the blockchain lifecycle, ensures to maintain its lead in providing fast, reliable, and user-friendly.
