Asynchronous BFT Consensus

Definition

Asynchronous BFT Consensus is a system that allows network participants to agree on a common state without needing perfectly synchronized clocks. This mechanism tolerates a significant number of faulty or malicious nodes, known as Byzantine faults. It ensures transaction validity and order even when communication delays or failures occur across the distributed network. This robustness is crucial for maintaining data integrity in decentralized systems.
