Multi-BFT Consensus

Definition

Multi-BFT consensus refers to a class of Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus algorithms designed to operate across multiple, potentially independent, groups of validators or shards. Unlike single-instance BFT, which typically involves all participants agreeing on a single sequence of transactions, Multi-BFT enables parallel processing. This approach enhances scalability by allowing different parts of a network to reach consensus concurrently. It improves transaction throughput and system efficiency.
