FireLedger: A High Throughput Blockchain Consensus Protocol
Summary: FireLedger exploits blockchain iteration for optimistic high-throughput permissioned consensus: each node keeps the last f+1 blocks tentative, trading finality latency for one block decided per communication step. Proposers broadcast proposals; others send one bit, yielding 20–600% throughput gains over HotStuff/BFT-SMaRt. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
