According to TON, top engineers — some using AI (artificial intelligence) — worked to maximize the security of its new consensus mechanism (blockchain agreement process).
TON has awarded $100,400 to 15 winners of its Consensus Challenge, a competition focused on strengthening the security of its new consensus mechanism. The challenge drew participation from top engineers, with some using AI to help test and improve the system. Consensus mechanisms are core blockchain processes that help networks validate transactions and maintain security.
