| Summary: | In this paper, we introduce Rorqual, a protocol designed to enhance the performance of the Narwhal Mempool by integrating Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs). Both Narwhal and Roqual are protocols based on a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG). Compared to Narwhal, Rorqual achieves significant reductions in latency and increases throughput by streamlining the steps required to include a vertex in the DAG. The use of TEEs also reduces the communication complexity of the protocol while maintaining low computational costs. Through rigorous analysis, we demonstrate the protocol's robustness under both normal and adversarial conditions, highlighting its improvements in throughput, latency, and security. ... : 11 pages, 1 table, 9 algorithms ... |
