Blockchain technologies are attracting a lot of attention from various communities. A consensus protocol is one of key parts; it is a process to make an agreement on a value among distributed nodes. In this presentation, Yuta Namiki introduces MinBFT, an open source project to implement an efficient consensus protocol achieving Byzantine fault tolerance. Even this project is under Hyperledger Labs, it is designed to be utilized by not only a blockchain system but also various kinds of distributed system. MinBFT leverages hardware-based trusted execution environments (TEEs), such as Intel SGX to make the protocol efficient and scalable. He shares technical brief of the protocol, design of the implementation, how this implementation can be utilized by applications, current status of the project, and feature roadmap of the project in this session.
