Latency is the enemy of liquidity. Mysticeti is our answer.
The Latency Problem
Most blockchains have block times measured in seconds (or minutes). This creates a gap between when a user submits an order and when it is executed. In high-frequency trading, this latency is unacceptable.
DAG-Based Consensus
Mysticeti uses a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) structure to decouple transaction dissemination from consensus ordering. This allows validators to broadcast transactions immediately without waiting for a block leader.
- 25ms Finality: By removing the need for multi-round voting in the happy path, we achieve finality limited only by network propagation speed.
- Leaderless: No single point of failure or bottleneck. Every validator contributes to the DAG simultaneously.
