High throughput
Multiple validators can propose blocks in parallel, so the protocol is not forced through a single leader bottleneck.

About Mysticeti.wtf
Mysticeti is a consensus protocol that leverages a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) structure to achieve high throughput and low latency in blockchain systems. The name "Mysticeti" comes from the scientific classification for baleen whales, reflecting the protocol's ability to efficiently process large volumes of transactions.
Unlike traditional blockchain protocols that form a single chain of blocks, Mysticeti allows for a more complex structure where blocks can reference multiple previous blocks, creating a DAG rather than a linear chain.
Fast finality
Blocks can be confirmed through references in the DAG, allowing commits to emerge from the structure validators already build.
Fault tolerance
The simulator shows how missing blocks, equivocations, and weak parent references affect commit and skip decisions.
About this simulator
This educational tool visualizes how the Mysticeti DAG evolves over time. It displays validator proposal slots across rounds, shows references between blocks, and highlights why a slot commits, skips, or remains undecided.
The simulator focuses on protocol reasoning: parent references, quorum support, equivocation, missing proposals, block loss, and transaction ordering behavior.
