The text outlines a method for achieving high transaction throughput in proof-of-stake blockchains by utilizing a DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) to spread and order transactions without requiring additional message exchanges. This approach separates the responsibilities of spreading messages and consensus ordering, allowing the DAG to function as a "smart mempool" that optimizes throughput while maintaining reliability, non-equivocation, and causal ordering. The method emphasizes simplicity and minimalism, operating in a view-by-view manner that requires only two broadcast latencies to reach consensus during stable network conditions. It also highlights how the DAG's properties simplify the consensus process by preventing leader equivocation and ensuring proposals are inherently justified through their causal history. Additionally, the text compares this method to other DAG-based consensus solutions and discusses its potential as a foundational algorithm for future developments like Fino, a BFT consensus protocol.
