Initial release of a Go implementation of the Narwhal DAG-based mempool protocol.

Made for personal use. Unaudited. Use at your own risk.

Features

  • DAG-based mempool separating data availability from ordering
  • Parallel transaction broadcast with no leader bottleneck
  • Certificate-based availability guarantees (2f+1 acknowledgments)
  • Dual signature schemes: Ed25519 (parallel verification) and BLS12-381 (aggregation)
  • Configurable workers, batching, and adaptive pacing
  • Generic design supporting custom hash and transaction types
  • Epoch-based reconfiguration for validator set changes
  • Comprehensive observability hooks for metrics integration

Verification

  • Fault tolerance tests: crash, slow validator, Byzantine equivocation, out-of-order delivery
  • Stress tests: 50K TPS sustained load, goroutine/memory leak detection, rapid start/stop cycles
  • Comprehensive test suite with race detection
