`🔗 Dusk Consensus`

Implementation of Dusk's Succinct Attestation consensus protocol

Overview

Dusk Consensus implements the Succinct Attestation (SA) protocol, which drives block production and finality on the Dusk network. It coordinates a multi-phase process — proposal, validation, and ratification — where provisioners vote on candidate blocks and aggregate their votes into a compact attestation.

Key Components

Component	Description
Consensus state machine	Drives the proposal / validation / ratification phases
Vote aggregation	Collects and verifies BLS-signed votes from provisioners
Quorum logic	Determines when sufficient stake weight has voted to finalize
Merkle aggregation	Batches proofs for efficient on-chain verification

node-data — defines consensus message types and ledger structures
dusk-core — BLS signatures used for vote signing
node — integrates the consensus engine into the full node runtime
rusk — orchestrates consensus as part of the node entrypoint
