Abstract

In recent years, the rise of blockchain technology has sparked significant interest in both cybersecurity and financial investment sectors. Blockchains, categorized into permissioned and permissionless types based on their unique attributes, have shown varied applications. Notably, permissioned blockchains are proving to be more relevant for practical implementations than their permissionless counterparts. One critical aspect of blockchain technology is its consensus protocols, which are fundamental to its operation and integrity. This article provides a succinct overview of the Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (PBFT) algorithm, a cornerstone in blockchain technology. It also explores three distinct technical implementations of the PBFT algorithm: Hyperledger Fabric, which is renowned for its robust enterprise solutions; HotStuff, known for its scalability and efficiency improvements; and Diem, a blockchain initiative originally started by Facebook, aimed at transforming financial services. Each of these applications demonstrates the versatility and potential of the PBFT algorithm to address specific needs and challenges within various blockchain frameworks.
