PROTOCOL PAPER 01 // BFT CONSENSUS
Deterministic 380ms Finality via Pipelined HotStuff & RaptorCast DAG
Dr. Lukas Meier · Chief Cryptographer
Decoupling erasure-coded transaction dissemination from quorum certificate voting eliminates leader bandwidth bottlenecks across 300+ global validators.
Traditional monolithic BFT chains stall when the proposing leader broadcasts full execution payloads to every peer. Helios separates data availability dissemination into a continuous erasure-coded DAG while validators vote exclusively on 32-byte Merkle batch digests, finalizing blocks in two network hops.
