Phalanx: A Practical Byzantine Ordered Consensus Protocol
Guangren Wang, Liang Cai, Fangyu Gai +1
Byzantine fault tolerance (BFT) consensus is a fundamental primitive for distributed computation. However, BFT protocols suffer from the ordering manipulation, in which an adversar…
Scaling Blockchain Consensus via a Robust Shared Mempool
Fangyu Gai, Jianyu Niu, Ivan Beschastnikh +2
There is a resurgence of interest in Byzantine fault-tolerant (BFT) systems due to blockchains. However, leader-based BFT consensus protocols used by permissioned blockchains have…
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…
EBFT: Simplifying BFT Consensus Through Egalitarianism
Jianyu Niu, Runchao Han, Shengqi Liu +4
We present Egalitarian BFT (EBFT), a simple and high-performance framework of BFT consensus protocols for decentralized systems like blockchains. The key innovation in EBFT is egal…
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…
