Abstract
Leader election is a crucial process in many areas such as cloud computing, distributed systems, task orchestration, and blockchain. Oftentimes, in a distributed system, the network needs to choose a leader, which would be responsible for synchronization between different processors, data storage, information distribution, and more.
