Consensus Group

We will continue with the same block from the previous section (Block Height: 36307121).

Observe the field Consensus Group: Leader

There are 400 validators which execute every transaction in this block. If you click on the 400 validators (See all) button you will see 400 public keys, which are links to all the 400 nodes that participated in consensus.

Practice​

  • Open 3 different blocks in 3 different tabs. Observe that every time there is another consensus group. Why do you think the system is designed this way?
  • Open 3 different blocks in 3 different tabs on Ethereum Explorer. Observe that every time there is another leader.
