Understanding the Importance of Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance in Blockchain Technology
Introduction PBFT¹ is a practical algorithm for state machine replication that tolerates Byzantine faults. The algorithm offers both liveness and safety provided at most [(n-1)/3] out of a total of n replicas are simultaneously faulty. This means that clients eventually receive replies to their requests and those replies are correct according…
