Chain-based PBFT and BFT-based Proof of Stake
Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) consensus

Pros

  • BFT provide strong finality guarantees in that either all honest nodes will adopt a block or none will (thus eliminating the possibility of forks and rollbacks found in Bitcoin)

Cons

  • Existing BFT algorithms normally do not scale well.
