The research paper DAG-based Consensus with Asymmetric Trust has been accepted for presentation and publication at the PODC 2025 conference, the 44th ACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing, which is held in Santa María Huatulco, Mexico, in June 2025. This work addresses the asymmetric-trust model, in which each participant is free to make its own subjective and individual trust assumptions about others. The paper shows the first asymmetric protocol for computing a common core, equivalent to that in the threshold model. Implementing this primitive then leads to the first randomized asynchronous DAG-based consensus protocol with asymmetric quorums,

Juan Villacis will present this work there – congratulations!
