Description: Linear voting is a consensus mechanism based on a sequential and ordered process to reach an agreement among multiple participants. This method involves each participant casting their vote in a series of stages, where the results of each stage influence subsequent decisions. The main characteristic of linear voting is its progressive structure, allowing participants to see how their choices affect the final outcome. This approach is particularly useful in environments requiring collaborative and transparent decision-making, as each step of the process is visible and can be audited. Linear voting is used in various applications, from governance in distributed systems to decision-making in group settings, where clarity and traceability are essential. Its relevance lies in its ability to facilitate consensus in an orderly and efficient manner, minimizing the risk of conflicts and misunderstandings among participants.
