Let’s talk about Byzantine fault tolerance:
Classic BFT protocols require the total number of nodes to be at least three times the number of malicious nodes plus one—that is, malicious nodes must make up less than one-third of the total.
The “two-thirds” threshold ensures that any two valid votes share at least some honest nodes, preventing two contradictory results from being confirmed at the same time.
