I've made a longer comment in another thread; but have you investigated the hashgraph algorithm? Gossip-about-gossip and virtual voting combine to result in leaderless consensus, fair ordering and aBFT. It's very performant with over 10k TPS on-chain. I'm learning about DLT from the perspective of hashgraph which is why I don't understand why it doesn't get love - it seems to have all of the good and none of the bad.
hashgraph seems like snake-oil, and marketed in similar ways. Couldn't find any good paper with enough details to make a production ready implementation.
