While the problem has a long and rich history and has been analyzed from many different perspectives, recently, with the advent of blockchain protocols like Bitcoin, it has experienced renewed interest from a much wider community of researchers and has seen its application expand to various novel...
Private blockchains, that allow participation of valid users and are not open to the public, have been proposed to overcome this problem. These blockchain implementations use consensus methods that do not require high computational power for solving hash problems. However, since they are private, ...

Section 2 presents the general blockchain model. Section 3 introduces the classic Byzantine consensus problem and the probabilistic variant of it. Section 4 specifies the differences of the consensus algorithms used in Bitcoin and Ethereum. Section 5 describes the attacks against Bitcoin and two ...
In cryptocurrency blockchains based on the PoW algorithm,minersor validators -- also known as participant nodes -- must prove that the work they've done and submitted gives them the right to add new transactions to the blockchain. They must solve a complex mathematical problem by finding a...
The introduction of digital certificates in the block chain solves the problem of authenticating the real identity of billing nodes in voting. 3.2 Comparison of Advantages and Disadvantages of Consensus Mechanism Algorithm In order to better satisfy the use of block chain for specific scenarios, the ...
The security level of the blockchain network based on proof of work requires a lot of energy, and it’s intensive. The greater consumption is becoming a problem in a world where we are running out of energy – miners on the system have to face a large sum of cost due to electricity ...
which limits the development of blockchain technology.Aiming at this problem,this paper proposes an optimized consensus algorithm based on the basic idea of PBFT(Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance)algorithm.This algorithm introduces an integration mechanism to select nodes participating in the consensus ...
Blockchain platforms have led to incredible advances in designing and developing decentralized applications and systems, and have been applied toward domains ranging from cryptocurrencies to enterprise supply chains. While the applications are vast, they’re all based on a core set of design patterns ...
In traditional software architecture, the consensus is hardly a problem due to the existence of the center server, hence the other nodes only need to be aligned with the server. However, in a distributed network such as blockchain, each node is both a host and a server, and it needs to...
