A key feature of $WAL is that its consensus algorithm is optimized for speed, security and decentralized operations and ensures high network throughput.This is due to its novel validation scheme that is proof-based, and its validation is performed through a selection of proposers and voters who undergo validation of blocks.This is because they are picked through their staking levels and validation speeds.
The process starts off with the clustering of transactions into blocks and the proposal of the blocks by an active validator.The other validators check the validity of the block.Upon achieving a consensus, the block gets finalized rapidly.
In addition to the consensus mechanism, the mechanism that encourages integrity on the #walrus network involves punishment for slashers and reward systems for the validators to incentivize them.This will ensure protective measures are in place for the network against threats by enhancing the security and reducing the energy required by the mining process to be consumed by the network.Therefore, it will allow the utilization of scalable Web3 applications on the network.
