Abstract
Until now, we looked at the design of different BFT protocols that can help achieve consensus among a set of replicas. A key use case for these protocols is a permissioned blockchain fabric, which, unlike a permissionless blockchain application, expects the identities of the participants to be known a priori. Permissioned blockchains have found applications in several domains such as healthcare, food production, energy trading, and financial trades [80, 150, 215, 231]. These permissioned blockchains have also laid down paths that ease transition of a traditional database into blockchain databases [94, 106, 123, 124, 195].
