How can a group of mutually distrustful nodes reach agreement on the same ledger?
The “Byzantine Generals Problem” was systematically described by Lamport, Shostak, and Pease in a 1982 paper, which discussed how to reach agreement in the presence of traitors.
Classic BFT protocols require the total number of nodes to be at least three times the number of malicious nodes plus one—in other words, malicious nodes must make up less than one-third of the total.
The most important thing to keep in mind when managing your positions: if you hold large amounts of assets on a chain with very few validators, remember that a small number of colluding nodes could affect the ledger.
