Multi-proposer consensus protocols let multiple validators propose blocks in parallel, breaking the single-leader throughput bottleneck of classic designs. Yet the modern multi-proposer consensus implementation has grown a lot since HotStuff. THisworkshop will explore the implementation details of recent advances DAG-based approaches like Narwhal and Suis Mysticeti and reveal how implementation details translate to real-world performance gains. We focus on the nitty-gritty: how network communication patterns and data handling affect throughput and latency. New techniques such as Turbine-like block propagation (inspired by Solanas erasure-coded broadcast) and lazy push gossip broadcasting dramatically cut communication overhead. These optimizations arent just theoretical they enable modern blockchains to process over 100,000 transactions per second with finality in mere milliseconds redefining what is possible in decentralized systems.
