Tower Byzantine Fault Tolerance (Tower BFT) Meaning

Tower Byzantine Fault Tolerance (Tower BFT) is a consensus mechanism used by the Solana blockchain, derived from Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (PBFT). It leverages cryptographic timekeeping to improve scalability and transaction throughput.

By introducing a verifiable delay function through Solana’s Proof of History, Tower BFT reduces communication overhead between validators. This allows faster finality while maintaining tolerance against malicious or faulty nodes.

From an institutional standpoint, Tower BFT offers high performance but relies on validator coordination and infrastructure reliability, making network stability a key consideration.
