# Casanova

## TL;DR

Casanova is a novel leaderless optimistic consensus protocol for permissioned blockchains that utilizes a DAG structure and combines voting with block production to handle conflicting transactions.

## Contribution

It introduces a leaderless consensus protocol that produces a DAG and integrates voting with block creation to improve blockchain scalability and conflict resolution.

## Key findings

- Produces blocks in a DAG rather than a chain
- Combines voting rounds with block production
- Handles conflicting transactions effectively

## Abstract

We introduce Casanova, a leaderless optimistic consensus protocol designed for a permissioned blockchain. Casanova produces blocks in a DAG rather than a chain, and combines voting rounds with block production by singling out individual conflicting transactions.
