Described in detail herein is a system for determining the validity of a transaction in a distributed network environment. The system includes a plurality of peer servers. The system elects a set of peer leaders from the plurality of peer servers. The set of peer leaders broadcast a first set of indices associated with a first subset of transactions, received from the plurality of peer servers, to one or more of the plurality of peer servers. The set of elected peer leaders execute a first instance of a binary agreement protocol based at least in part on a second subset of indices associated with a second subset of the transactions. The set of elected peer leaders output a consensus vector comprising one or more of the transactions.
