Description
Multi-protocol consensus for agent swarms supporting Raft leader election, Byzantine fault tolerance, Gossip state propagation, and CRDT conflict-free merging.
  • Byzantine fault tolerance is required (untrusted or unreliable agents)
  • State synchronization across distributed agent swarms
  • Conflict-free data merging in concurrent operations

Protocols

| Protocol | Use Case | Fault Tolerance | Complexity | |----------|----------|-----------------|------------| | Raft | Leader-based consensus, ordered log | Crash faults (f < n/2) | Medium | | Byzantine | Untrusted agents, adversarial conditions | Byzantine faults (f < n/3) | High | | Gossip | Eventual consistency, state propagation | Partition tolerant | Low | | CRDT | Conflict-free replicated data types | Always convergent | Low |

Weighted Voting

  • Queen agents: 3x weight multiplier
  • Worker agents: 1x weight
  • Configurable consensus threshold (majority, supermajority, unanimous)

Agents Used

  • agents/swarm-coordinator/ - Protocol orchestration
  • agents/strategic-queen/ - Weighted voting leadership
