PBFT inspired protocols are consensus mechanisms that draw design principles from Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance, a classical algorithm for distributed systems. These protocols typically feature a fixed set of validators and achieve strong finality with relatively low latency. They are designed to tolerate a certain number of malicious or faulty nodes. Their strength lies in providing deterministic agreement in a permissioned or semi-permissioned environment.
Context
PBFT inspired protocols are often utilized in enterprise blockchains and certain public proof-of-stake networks where fast finality and high throughput are priorities. News reports sometimes discuss these protocols when examining the underlying technology of various digital assets or consortium blockchains. Debates often focus on their scalability and the degree of decentralization they offer compared to other consensus models.
