Iris Protocol

Distributed consensus for high-latency hardware-constrained environments.

Active DevelopmentSelective Disclosure
Overview

A hardware-accelerated consensus engine for distributed state synchronization in high-latency environments. Iris operates at the intersection of custom silicon design and distributed systems theory.

Challenge

Guarantee deterministic consensus in unstable network conditions where throughput and energy constraints are equally critical.

Solution

Designed a hybrid protocol with hardware-assisted validation paths and adaptive quorum rules that maintain correctness under latency spikes.

Impact

Reduced synchronization lag by 37% in simulation clusters while preserving protocol safety guarantees and lowering compute overhead.
