Tenderbake algorithm for Tezos has been developed in broad cooperation and will have a “classic style” BFT consensus.
The new consensus mechanism will allow blockchain to achieve block times of less than 1 second.
Nomadic Labs has launched a testnet for Tezos based on Tenderbake consensus algorithm. First outlined in 2020, this new algorithm is the product of a global collaboration between engineers and academic researchers, with infrastructure created in collaboration with the Baking Bad team. The TQ Tezos team stated in an official post:
More recently, the viability of the proposed consensus algorithm was supported by the formal verification of Theorems 5 and 6 outlined in that paper. Tenderbake is now closer than ever to a fully-featured economic protocol, and is currently being tested to identify potential implementation errors and optimize performance.
Unlike the current Tezos consensus algorithm called “Emmy”, Tenderbake will not operate in a “Nakamoto” style, bu
