Sui Consensus: Narwhal and Bullshark – a powerful duo for speed and efficiency! 🐋🦈

Sui employs an innovative and high-performance consensus mechanism consisting of two key components: Narwhal (mempool) and Bullshark (DAG-based consensus).

Narwhal (Mempool): This component is responsible for the efficient storage and ordering of transactions. It ensures that transaction data will not be lost even if validators go offline. Narwhal provides high throughput for incoming transactions.
Bullshark (DAG-based consensus): Bullshark is the actual consensus protocol that establishes the order of transactions. It uses a directed acyclic graph (DAG) structure to process transactions, allowing for high speed and efficiency.
Separation of functions: The separation of functions between Narwhal (data delivery) and Bullshark (reaching consensus on their order) allows Sui to optimize each process, resulting in outstanding performance.
This consensus architecture enables Sui to process transactions at unprecedented speed and scale, making it ideal for demanding Web3 applications.
