Modeling and Verification of Keeta's Consensus [pdf]

Keeta's two-phase consensus algorithm preserves agreement under a fixed, equally weighted set of representatives and generalizes to any number of representatives. However, a contended account can be driven into a permanent lockout due to client contention. The model checks safety as an invariant over bounded configurations but does not establish liveness.
