Unveiling the Synchronization Mechanism

Headline: The concept of Synchronization by Tfsc

Synchronization is the mechanism used to maintain consistency between the contents of two or more databases, files, modules, or threads.

Consensus and synchronization are essential sectors in the blockchain. The synchronization process enables all nodes in the entire blockchain network to achieve data consistency, ensuring that the data can be verified throughout the network. At the same time, while not affecting the consensus, it prepares the data required for the consensus in advance, so that the data throughout the network reaches an agreement, and increases the success rate of transactions.

☑️The Concept of Synchronization

Synchronization is to enable transactions on the blockchain to reach as many nodes as possible, providing the basis for consensus to package transactions into blocks. Fast and reliable synchronization is the basis for transformers’s ultra-high throughput.

Synchronize contains blocks with a large number of transactions, and each block contains more than one transaction. Achieving such efficient and high-quality synchronization requires excellent technical support, such as reliable node discovery, fork management, and UTXO verification.

Transformers is a completely decentralized public chain and uses Byzantine synchronization to achieve data consistency across the network. Generating a block on transformers is a passive behavior, and blocks are only generated when transactions occur, rather than through a scheduled block generation mechanism. Any user can synchronize all data blocks on the main network. Before synchronizing blocks, you need to get preparations as follows: a reliable node connected to the main network.

Why is synchronization?

When running, it will regularly broadcast its highest block height to other nodes. When a node receives the broadcasted block height from another node, it compares it with its block height. If its block height is behind, the block download process will be started. The download of blocks is completed through a request/response mechanism. The nodes entering the download process will randomly select the nodes that meet the requirements and send the requested block height range to download. The node receiving the download request will respond with the corresponding block according to the request content.

The synchronization of transformers ensures the consistency of data across the network, provides a security basis for consensus, and ensures the security and robustness of the transformer's network.

☑️Byzantine:

Byzantine synchronization refers to the process of achieving consensus or agreement among a network of distributed systems, even when some of the systems may behave maliciously or fail in arbitrary ways.

Byzantine synchronization protocols ensure that all nodes in the network reach a consistent view of the system state, despite the presence of potentially adversarial behavior.
