What is the primary purpose of ZenChain's hybrid consensus model?
What is the primary purpose of ZenChain's hybrid consensus model?
- To decrease block production time at the expense of security.
- To depend entirely on provable finality for enhanced security measures.
- To solely rely on probabilistic finality for faster transaction speeds.
- To maximize both performance and security by combining rapid block production with secure consensus. (correct)

Study Notes
- ZenChain uses a hybrid consensus model.
- The hybrid consensus model combines RAGE and GUARDIAN.
- RAGE (Random Assignment for Genesis Extension) handles block production.
- GUARDIAN (GHOST-based Unified Ancestor Recursive Determination and Integrity Agreement Node) provides finality.
- The hybrid approach offers rapid block production and secure, irreversible consensus.
- Block time is 6 seconds.
- Block finality is achieved in about 30 seconds.
- The dual mechanism of the hybrid consensus model enables fast block production.
- The hybrid consensus model maintains a secure and reliable agreement on the canonical chain.
