Number of iterations of ExplorerChain on 3 datasets and 2-, 4- and 8-site settings for each of the 30 trials. The number of iterations increases with the number of sites, with an upper limit to the maximum number of required iterations (10 in our experiment) to reach consensus. However, the relatively large standard deviation, especially when the number of sites is small (eg, N = 2), suggests that the number of required iterations is highly dependent on the dataset.
