Vote-Based SMR

Definition

Vote-Based SMR refers to a specific type of State Machine Replication (SMR) where the consensus among distributed nodes is achieved through a voting process. In this model, nodes propose and vote on the order of transactions and the resulting state changes, with a supermajority of votes typically required for a decision to be finalized. This mechanism ensures that all honest nodes agree on the same sequence of operations, maintaining consistency across the distributed system. It is a fundamental component of many blockchain protocols.
