I wonder if all consensus algorithms are using hash functions in their nature? How many of them are so? How important hash functions are for blockchain or DLT?

  • I'm sorry, buddy, but you don't seem to understand what you're talking about, or probably you need to heavily rephrase your question. Consensus has too many elements to just oversimplify it by hash functions.
