Byzantine Fault-Tolerant (BFT) protocols cover a broad spectrum of design dimensions from
infrastructure settings, such as the communication topology, to more technical features, such …

The problem of distributed consensus has played a major role in the development of
distributed data management systems. This includes the development of distributed atomic …

Distributed protocols such as 2PC and Paxos lie at the core of many systems in the cloud,

Consensus is a fundamental problem in distributed systems, involving the challenge of
achieving agreement among distributed nodes. It plays a critical role in various distributed …

Replicated state machines (RSMs) cannot effectively communicate today as there is no
formal framework or efficient protocol to do so. To address this issue, we introduce a new …

In the realm of blockchain, smart contracts have achieved widespread adoption due to their
inherent programmability. However, smart contracts suffer from long execution delays …

Each application developer desires to provide its users with consistent results and an
always-available system despite failures. Boldly, the CALM theorem disagrees. It states that …

Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) protocols provide powerful guarantees in the presence of
arbitrary machine failures, yet they do not scale. The process of creating new, scalable BFT …
