Sonic Unveils New Consensus Protocol, Promising 2x Speed and 68% Less Memory Use

The post Sonic Unveils New Consensus Protocol, Promising 2x Speed and 68% Less Memory Use appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. TLDR: Sonic overlapping elections let events act as voters and leaders, accelerating block finality.  Matrix‑based voting compresses data to 0‑1 arrays, enabling AVX2 vector computations.  Memory drops from 420 MB to 135 MB per epoch, freeing resources for high‑throughput nodes.  Mainnet tests over 200 epochs show 2.04× …

Sonic Launches New DAG-Based Consensus Protocol

Built on a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) framework, SonicCS 2.0 enables parallel transaction ordering, allowing for faster processing across the network. According to internal testing, the protocol runs twice as fast as its predecessor while cutting memory usage by 68%. One of the key innovations lies in how transactions are sequenced. Instead of waiting for individual block elections, SonicCS 2.0 processes leader selection in parallel using matr…
