TL;DR;
This post explains Fogo's multi-local consensus mechanism, where validators are grouped in zones for faster communication and agreement on new blocks. These zones rotate regularly to maintain fairness and security, with a global backup system in case of issues.
Key Impact Areas
Faster block times (as low as 20ms)
Higher throughput due to proximity of validators
Increased resilience by avoiding single-location dependency
Enhanced decentralization and fairness through zone rotation
Challenges
Ensuring fairness and preventing control by a single region
Maintaining security with regularly changing validator groups
Handling situations where local consensus fails and requiring a switch to the global backup system
