Hetu Parallel Engine is a high-performance blockchain consensus engine...
Hetu Parallel Engine is a high-performance blockchain consensus engine that combines the power of CometBFT with a customized DAG-based Narwhal consensus implementation.
Architecture
The engine consists of two main components:
hetu-cometbft: A customized version of CometBFT based on Cosmos-SDK
hetu-consensus: A DAG-based consensus implementation derived from Narwhal
System Design
+----------------+ +------------------+
| hetu-cometbft | <---> | hetu-consensus |
| (CometBFT) | | (Narwhal) |
+----------------+ +------------------+
The two components communicate via socket connection, where hetu-consensus (Narwhal) handles the ordering consensus.Features
High-throughput consensus mechanism
DAG-based parallel transaction processing
Compatible with Cosmos-SDK ecosystem
Customized CometBFT implementation
