What is (#PBFT) Proof of Byzantine Fault Tolerance ?
Proof of Byzantine Fault Tolerance (#PBFT) is a consensus algorithm used in distributed systems to achieve #consensus among a network of nodes even in the presence of faulty or malicious nodes. It is specifically designed to handle #Byzantine faults, which refer to arbitrary and #malicious behaviors exhibited by nodes in a distributed network.
In #PBFT, a network of nodes forms a consensus group, and each node takes turns acting as a #leader. The consensus process involves a series of rounds where the leader proposes a value or a set of #transactions, and other nodes in the network vote on the proposed value. #Nodes communicate with each other to reach a consensus on the agreed-upon value.
To achieve Byzantine fault tolerance, #PBFT requires a minimum number of correctly functioning #nodes in the network. As long as a two-thirds majority of the nodes are honest and follow the #protocol, PBFT guarantees that the network can agree on a consistent value, even if some nodes are faulty or malicious.
#PBFT is often used in permissioned blockchain networks, where the participants are known and trusted, and the network operates in a more controlled environment. It provides fast finality, low #latency, and high throughput compared to other consensus #algorithms like Proof of Work (PoW) or Proof of Stake (PoS). However, PBFT requires a higher degree of network communication and is less suitable for open and #decentralized networks.
So, now you're wondering, I've never see any coin using this, Which coin uses this Consensus?
β> This is only the Hot Coin in 2016 - 2017 Bull-Run, which is #NEO Coin.
