Abstract

This paper focuses on the challenges in Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) systems, particularly focusing on the inefficiencies in traditional protocols such as Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (PBFT) and the shortcomings of HotStuff's single-pipeline design. This study introduces a new model called Raft-Multiple Pipeline HotStuff (Raft-MPH) with Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) to deal with BFT. Additionally, the Raft-MPH protocol is designed to improve HotStuff's existing framework by leveraging ECC to make cryptographic operations more efficient. The research shows that this approach significantly decreases communication overhead while maintaining high throughput and low latency, even in different network conditions. The Raft-MPH protocol processed up to 160K transactions per second (TPS) on a Local Area Network (LAN) with latency similar to traditional HotStuff, and it scaled well as the number of replicas increased. Overall, this work lays a solid foundation for future research on adaptive consensus protocols and may lead to practical applications in blockchain platforms.
