BFT Raft Algorithm (E.g., Tangaroa) in planned roadmap? #342

Closed nathanawmk closed 6 years ago

System information

Hi all.

Three questions:

  1. Beyond Raft and Instabul, are there plans for other pluggable consensus?

  2. BFT Raft Algorithm (E.g., Tangaroa) is in the planned roadmap? Is there a need for BFT algorithm?

Thanks!

  1. Not currently but a variation of Tendermint was an option that we reviewed with the Tendermint team. 2.Istanbul BFT is currently our supported BFT consensus algo.

Thanks, Sam
