Permissionless consensus
A Lewis-Pye, T Roughgarden - arXiv preprint arXiv:2304.14701, 2023 - arxiv.org
Blockchain protocols typically aspire to run in the permissionless setting, in which nodes are
owned and operated by a large number of diverse and unknown entities, with each node …

Optimal flexible consensus and its application to Ethereum
Classic BFT consensus protocols guarantee safety and liveness for all clients if fewer than
one-third of replicas are faulty. However, in applications such as high-value payments, some …
