myl7/pbft

PBFT (Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance) implementation focused on composability

The project is aimed for academic use currently. It may consider production use as a long-term goal, but not now.

Getting Started

All required interfaces are in the traits.go file. All you need to do is to implement all (public) interfaces, then pass them to NewNode function to initialize a Node, and finally pass received PBFT messages from the network to Node respective Handle* methods.

Features

• Basic PBFT (request, preprepare, prepare, commit, reply)
• Custom KV storage backend
• Custom network communication
• Custom state machine, to fit whatever you want to do

Caveats

• No checkpoint
• No view change
• Some ignored (so) edge cases. Search TODO comments in the code for details.
• NO READY FOR PRODUCTION USE, yet. Please only use it for academic purposes currently.
