Spectrum: Speedy and Strictly-Deterministic Smart Contract Transactions for Blockchain Ledgers
Summary: Spectrum enforces consensus-established serial order (strict determinism) for EVM smart contracts with runtime-determined accesses via speculative deterministic concurrency control. Key optimizations—operation-level rollback and predictive scheduling—reduce mis-speculations and aborts, yielding 1.4–4.1× throughput wins under contention.
