Simplex is a partially synchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) protocol designed by Ben Chan and Rafael Pass in 2023. It is being incorporated by Commonware library and (with modifications) by Solana. It is a simple and clean protocol, especially for beginners, and Ben did a great job explaining it from...| decentralizedthoughts.github.io
In this post, we will present (a variant of) PBFT, which is the first practical solution to Byzantine fault tolerant state machine replication under partial synchrony. The protocol follows the key ideas presented in the previous post on partial synchrony. Setting There are $n$ parties, at most $t<n/3$ of them...| decentralizedthoughts.github.io
