The Performance of Byzantine Fault Tolerant Blockchains

摘要: Blockchains have captured the attention of many, resulting in an abundance new systems available for use. However, selecting appropriate blockchain application is challenging due to lack comparative information discussing core metrics such as throughput, latency and scalability. Although a number efforts been devoted performance evaluation, there limited work dedicated blockchains that are both efficient, avoiding complex Proof-of-Work cryptopuzzles, secure, because they solve consensus deterministically despite Byzantine failures. In this paper, we evaluate three cope with malicious behaviors, namely Burrow, Quorum Red Belly Blockchain. To end, modified Hyperledger Caliper benchmark main limitations: unnecessary overheads, online cryptographic signatures centralized clients. Our results identify maximum send rate Burrow can process, Blockchain offer 8-times higher throughput than other blockchains.
