Cadence: Extreme Pipelining with Multiple Concurrent Proposers

Kushal Babel, Fatima Elsheimy, Lioba Heimbach +6

We present Cadence, a Byzantine fault-tolerant multi-proposer consensus protocol with arbitrarily low block intervals, optimal resilience, and optimal fast-path latency. Cadence di…

MonadBFT: Fast, Responsive, Fork-Resistant Streamlined Consensus

Mohammad Mussadiq Jalalzai, Kushal Babel, Jovan Komatovic +6

This paper introduces MonadBFT, a novel Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus protocol that advances both performance and robustness. MonadBFT is implemented as the consensus pr…

VBFT: Veloce Byzantine Fault Tolerant Consensus for Blockchains

Mohammad M. Jalalzai, Chen Feng, Victoria Lemieux

Low latency is one of the most desirable features of partially synchronous Byzantine consensus protocols. Existing low-latency protocols have achieved consensus with just two commu…

Carnot: A highly Scalable and Responsive BFT Consensus protocol

Mohammad M. Jalalzai, Alexander Mozeika, Marcin P. Pawlowski +1

We present Carnot, a leader-based Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus protocol that is responsive and operates under the partially synchronous model. Responsive BFT consensus…

How to generate a fault-resilient network at a lower cost

Alexander Mozeika, Mohammad M. Jalalzai, Marcin P. Pawlowski

Blockchains facilitate decentralization, security, identity, and data management in cyber-physical systems. However, consensus protocols used in blockchains are prone to high messa…

Fast B4B: Fast BFT for Blockchains

Mohammad M. Jalalzai, Chen Feng, Victoria Lemieux

Low latency is one of the desired properties for partially synchronous Byzantine consensus protocols. Previous protocols have achieved consensus with just two communication steps e…

On the Performance of Pipelined HotStuff

Jianyu Niu, Fangyu Gai, Mohammad M. Jalalzai +1

HotStuff is a state-of-the-art Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus protocol. It can be pipelined to build large-scale blockchains. One of its variants called LibraBFT is adopted in…

Fast-HotStuff: A Fast and Resilient HotStuff Protocol

Mohammad M. Jalalzai, Jianyu Niu, Chen Feng +1

The HotStuff protocol is a breakthrough in Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus that enjoys both responsiveness and linear view change. It creatively adds an additional round t…

The Hermes BFT for Blockchains

Mohammad M. Jalalzai, Chen Feng, Costas Busch +2

The performance of partially synchronous BFT-based consensus protocols is highly dependent on the primary node. All participant nodes in the network are blocked until they receive…

Window Based BFT Blockchain Consensus

Mohammad M. Jalalzai, Costas Busch

There is surge of interest to the blockchain technology not only in the scientific community but in the business community as well. Proof of Work (PoW) and Byzantine Fault Tolerant…
