Abstract: A consensus network includes Messagenodes and Validators. The Messagenodes add transactions to pre-built blocks of a blockchain. The Validators validate the transactions added to the blocks by the Messagenodes. Validators individually sign blocks in a pre-commit phase and if a block receives a threshold number of signatures, the Validators verify the signatures in a counting phase and commit the block to the blockchain. When a block is committed, it is linked to the previous sealed block in the blockchain.
