Abstract

Consensus algorithms require a majority of nodes in a distributed system to agree on a single value. Blockchain systems commission these consensus algorithms to ensure security and trust in decentralized applications. However, current consensus algorithms do not address the requirements of high-stake applications that demand unanimous consensus with deliberation. For instance, a trial case at a court requires unanimous consensus to decide the fate of a criminal. With limited agreement structure and no deliberation, the current consensus protocol cannot handle the consensus problem. Our research determines the requirements of a deliberative unanimous consensus model for high-stake applications. Moreover, we propose a family of consensus models that agree on the answer’s correctness and the methods used to reach it.
