👉 Committees computing, also known as committee systems or distributed consensus mechanisms, are a set of protocols designed to ensure agreement among multiple nodes in a decentralized network, such as blockchain systems. These committees operate by having a subset of nodes, or "committee members," validate and agree on the state of the network's data, typically through complex mathematical computations or consensus algorithms. For example, in a blockchain network, nodes might form a committee to validate transactions and create new blocks, ensuring that all members agree on the sequence of transactions before they are added to the blockchain. This process is crucial for maintaining security, integrity, and consistency across the network, as it prevents fraudulent activities and ensures that all participants have a synchronized view of the data.
