How can a group of mutually distrustful nodes agree on the same ledger?
Byzantine fault tolerance (BFT) means a system can continue operating normally and remain consistent even when some nodes fail or deliberately lie.
The “Byzantine Generals Problem” was formally described by Lamport, Shostak, and Pease in a 1982 paper, which examined how to reach consensus in the presence of traitors.
When managing funds, one thing matters most: to understand a chain’s security, look at how many validators it has and whether voting power is overly concentrated in the hands of a few nodes.
