Consensus Protocols of Hyperledger Besu 4
Problem - PoW
? Non-finality:
? Confirmations are required.
? Fork is possible.
? Low throughput:
? Long block time Low transaction per second (TPS)
? Ethash (Ghost) can only support 3~15 seconds per block.
? Lack of governance:
? Too open: every node can be miner.
? Extra effort are required for blockchain management.
? High power consumption.
? Miners are competing on block generation.

Consortium Chain + PBFT
? Pros:
? Instant finality: No confirmation required.
? High throughput: No extra waiting time is necessary (v.s. ethash).
? Low power consumption.
? Node scalability. (should be the same as ethash)
? Governance: Manageable validator set.
? Academic proof.
? Cons:
? Validator scalability: 20 ~ 30 nodes. (generally not an issue in
consortium chain)
