ePrint Report: Ipotane: Achieving the Best of All Worlds in Asynchronous BFT

Xiaohai Dai, Chaozheng Ding, Hai Jin, Julian Loss, Ling Ren

State-of-the-art asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) protocols integrate a partially-synchronous optimistic path. The holy grail in this paradigm is to match the performance of a partially-synchronous protocol in favorable situations and match the performance of a purely asynchronous protocol in unfavorable situations. Several prior works have made progress toward this goal by matching the efficiency of a partially-synchronous …
