Quorum-Based Consensus
Qubic operates in units of time called ticks. Every tick includes a batch of transactions and computation results.
Here’s how consensus works:
All 676 Computors receive the tick data
Each Computor verifies it and casts a vote
If 451 out of 676 approve, the tick is finalised
This quorum approach ensures that decisions are made efficiently and reliably — even if some nodes are slow, offline, or faulty. Finality is reached quickly.
