The Master of Time: How DAGKNIGHT Solves an Impossibility Result Unachievable by Bitcoin, Ethereum and Classical BFT Models

The Masters are coming! They are Mastering Time! A famous impossibility result in distributed systems theory formally proved that a protocol cannot achieve a partially synchronous communication model with a fault tolerance bound of ½. However, Kaspa’s future consensus model, DAGKNIGHT, solves this problem, a feat unachievable by any other protocol, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Classical BFT models. Solving such a result entails a strong form of correctness while modeling the real world (i.e., internet latency), — and thereby creating a master of time.
