BFT Consensus Model

Definition

A BFT Consensus Model is a system that allows distributed computer networks to agree on a single state even if some participants behave maliciously. This Byzantine Fault Tolerance approach ensures network integrity and transaction finality by tolerating a certain proportion of faulty or dishonest nodes. Participants exchange messages and vote on proposed blocks, reaching agreement when a supermajority confirms the state. It is commonly utilized in various blockchain and distributed ledger technologies to achieve robust security and performance.
