The paper proposes speculate-order-replay: nodes pre-execute transactions, build a dependency graph, then deterministically replay and validate read/write sets, reexecuting invalid transactions serially at the end of the block; a priority heuristic moves long dependency-chain transactions earlier to reduce tail latency. The instantiation Vegeta runs on Amazon EC2 with real Ethereum workload on 16vCPU VMs and reports up to 7.8× speedup vs serial execution and 6.9× on a 10-node leaderless consensus with low reexecution rates.
