The fundamental backbone of any blockchain network is the distributed consensus mechanism by which a consensus on the order of the blocks in the chain is reached in a distributed fashion. Every participant in the network must have a synchronised view on this order of the blocks in the chain. With the absence of any centralised node participants leverage the consensus algorithm to achieve the required synchronisation. However, the network latency involved on broadcasting any newly created block introduces “forks” at different nodes creating different views, a symptom for inconsistencies among the participants in the network. Hence, it should be avoided whoever possible. Toward this aim, it is important to study different network properties which could minimise forks as much as possible.
