Consensus Protocols for Resource-Constrained Clusters

Most consensus protocols assume more memory and bandwidth than a cluster of low-power devices actually has. This early-stage project is scoping a consensus approach designed from the start for constrained hardware rather than adapted down from a data-center protocol.

Research Question

Most consensus protocols assume more memory and bandwidth than a cluster of low-power devices actually has.
