📊 Technical principles | Byzantine fault tolerance
· Definition: Byzantine fault tolerance (BFT) means a system can continue operating normally and remain consistent even when some nodes fail or deliberately lie.
· How to understand it: BFT-style consensus requires multiple rounds of voting and communication between nodes. The more validators there are, the greater the communication overhead, so there is often a limit on the number of validators that participate directly in consensus.
· Practical tip: When assessing a blockchain’s security, pay attention to how many validators there are and whether voting power is overly concentrated in the hands of a few nodes.
