Hierarchical BFT with Aggregated Signatures Secures Resource-Constrained Edge Networks
A two-layer BFT architecture and aggregated signatures reduce consensus communication overhead from quadratic to linear, enabling secure, scalable edge computing.
LLM Agents Shatter Classical BFT Bound via Confidence-Weighted Consensus
Confidence Probing-based Weighted BFT leverages LLM agents' inherent skepticism to exceed the classical $f < n/3$ fault tolerance limit, fundamentally enhancing consensus security.
Epidemic Consensus Protocol Scales Blockchains by Eliminating Fixed Leaders
The Blockchain Epidemic Consensus Protocol (BECP) achieves probabilistic convergence without leaders, fundamentally unlocking massive-scale decentralized network architecture.
Multi-Layered Stratification Provides Consistent Methodology for Measuring True Decentralization
A stratified, eight-layer methodology and a Minimum Decentralization Test now formally measure and unify the contested semantics of blockchain decentralization.
