BenFen’s architecture is designed to deliver both high throughput and low latency, powered by an innovative consensus mechanism that combines a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG)-based protocol with a consensus-free "fast path" for specific transactions.
-
Working Principle: User transactions are submitted to the validator network. For simple transactions involving only owned objects, BenFen employs a fast path mechanism, allowing sub-second processing without requiring global consensus. For complex transactions involving shared objects, the system falls back to a DAG-based consensus protocol, which establishes a global order before execution.

Performance Highlights: This hybrid architecture enables the network to achieve: Sub-second transaction latency (typically under 0.5 seconds), sustained throughput of tens of thousands of transactions per second (TPS), and fault tolerance against partial validator node failures.
