Polkadot Consensus Welcomes a Key Upgrade - Sassafras Officially Debuts.
As blockchain moves towards greater scale and higher performance, the original BABE + Aura consensus mechanism has struggled to meet the comprehensive demands for security, efficiency, and scalability. Sassafras has emerged as the next-generation consensus core.
It brings: efficient and DoS-resistant anonymous leader elections; faster block times; stronger security and fairness!
Sassafras not only addresses potential risks such as continuous block production attacks and leader exposure but also significantly reduces on-chain communication and computation costs through the innovative Ring VRF mechanism, laying the foundation for the large-scale applications of Polkadot and the Rollup era in the future.
What’s more, this series of technical blogs combines professional depth with clear expression, making it easy for non-researchers to understand.
