Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) ensures blockchain networks like Algorand (ALGO), Stellar (XLM), and Ripple (XRP) function despite malicious or faulty nodes. BFT assumes some nodes may act dishonestly, sending conflicting data. In distributed ledgers, BFT mechanisms, like $ALGO
ALGO’s Pure PoS, require two-thirds of nodes to agree on valid transactions, tolerating up to one-third failures.$XLM
XLM’s Stellar Consensus Protocol uses federated voting for fast consensus, while XRP’s Ripple Protocol Consensus achieves similar fault tolerance. BFT enhances reliability in decentralized systems but increases complexity and communication overhead, potentially reducing scalability. ALGO’s BFT prioritizes speed, XLM balances cost and trust, and$XRP
XRP focuses on enterprise use. BFT is vital for secure, fault-tolerant blockchains but requires careful design to maintain efficiency.
