## Project context

Malachite is an experimental codebase focused on protocol-level research.
The repository prioritizes correctness and clarity over production readiness.

Malachite aims to empower developers building decentralized systems—including sequencers, social networks, and Layer-1 blockchains—by offering a flexible, reliable, and high-performance BFT consensus engine. It now serves as the consensus foundation for [Arc](http://arcnetwork.xyz), a new purpose-built blockchain developed by Circle.
