I asked aptos assistent some questions and got interesting answers.
ME:
Please ELI5 the aptos consensus mechanism
APTOS ASSISTANT:
The Aptos consensus mechanism is like a group of friends trying to agree on what game to play. In the Aptos blockchain, there are special nodes called validators that work together to agree on which transactions should be added to the blockchain and in what order.
First, the validators receive a bunch of transactions that people want to add to the blockchain. They then use a special component called the consensus component to coordinate and agree on which transactions should be included in the next block.
Once the validators agree on the transactions, they send them to another component called the execution component. This component executes the transactions and keeps track of the results.
After executing the transactions, the execution component sends the results back to the consensus component. The consensus component then tries to reach an agreement with the other validators on the execution results of the proposed block.
If the validators reach a consensus and agree on the execution results, the execution component reads the full result of the proposed block execution and commits all the transactions to storage. This means that the transactions are permanently recorded on the blockchain.
This process ensures that all validators in the Aptos network are in agreement on the transactions and their order, making the blockchain secure and trustworthy.
some minor bugs i do agree
