Query: A Weak Consensus Algorithm and Its Application to High-Performance
  Blockchain   A large number of consensus algorithms have been proposed. However, the
requirement of strict consistency limits their wide adoption, especially in
high-performance required systems. In this paper, we propose a weak consensus
algorithm that only maintains the consistency of relative positions between the
messages. We apply this consensus algorithm to construct a high-performance
blockchain system, called \textit{Sphinx}. We implement the system with 32k+
lines of code including all components like consensus/P2P/ledger/etc. The
evaluations show that Sphinx can reach a peak throughput of 43k TPS (with 8
full nodes), which is significantly faster than current blockchain systems such
as Ethereum given the same experimental environment. To the best of our
knowledge, we present the first weak consensus algorithm with a fully
implemented blockchain system.
