BABE+GRANDPA Protocol
The BABE+GRANDPA consensus protocol, which powers the ZKP ecosystem, uses a hybrid approach combining probabilistic block production with deterministic finality to ensure agreement among nodes in a decentralized network.

Learn more about each component that powers BABE+GRANDPA in the ZKP ecosystem:
BABE Block Production
How probabilistic block creation drives network efficiency.
GRANDPA Finality
Achieving fast, deterministic consensus across nodes.
Timeouts and Fault Tolerance
Ensuring stability and recovery under adverse conditions.
Block Structure
The data framework that underpins secure and verifiable transactions.
It operates through two distinct but coordinated mechanisms: BABE (Blind Assignment for Blockchain Extension) for block production and GRANDPA (GHOST-based Recursive ANcestor Deriving Prefix Agreement) for finality.
