Sonic launches SonicCS 2.0, doubling consensus efficiency and reducing memory usage by 68%.

Sonic Research has released the SonicCS 2.0 consensus protocol, which adopts a $DAG architecture and introduces an overlapping election mechanism to parallelize the transaction ordering of multiple blocks. The new protocol uses a 0-1 matrix to represent the voting structure and utilizes SIMD instruction sets (such as AVX2) to vectorize the election process, accelerating voting and aggregation calculations. Tests on the mainnet over 200 epochs show that this version has an average speed increase of 2x and a memory footprint reduction of 68%. The official plan is to integrate the protocol into subsequent client versions and release a technical report detailing its implementation.
