If a few nodes in the network start lying, can the other nodes still agree on the same ledger?
First, a definition: PBFT (Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance), published by Castro and Liskov in 1999, made BFT consensus practical for real-world systems.
Why this matters: BFT-style consensus requires multiple rounds of voting among nodes. The more validators there are, the greater the volume of messages, so there is usually an upper limit on the number of validators that participate directly in consensus.
$ATOM is the native coin of Cosmos Hub, a chain that uses Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus.
