Crypto trivia 📚 Byzantine fault tolerance
Bitcoin’s proof of work uses competition over computing power to decide who produces the next block, keeping the ledger consistent as long as honest nodes control the majority of the hash power.
Classic BFT protocols require at least 3 times the number of malicious nodes plus 1 in total nodes—in other words, malicious nodes must account for less than one-third.
Knowledge may seem useless in everyday life, but you’ll appreciate it when you hit a snag.
$ATOM is the native coin of Cosmos Hub, a blockchain that uses a Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus mechanism.
