This paper proposes TRM-Raft, a Byzantine-resistant enhancement for Raft consensus that integrates a Blockchain-based Trust and Reputation Model to prevent election forgery and log tampering.

The paper proposes a federated formal verification architecture that treats verification as a polyglot proof system, successfully validating it on complex production subsystems like a Raft consensus m…

The paper introduces Agora, a domain-aware multi-agent framework that successfully detects deep, previously unknown logic bugs in complex consensus protocols, outperforming existing LLM-based analysis…

OrbitBFT introduces a novel two-stage hierarchical BFT consensus protocol that enables scalable and robust Byzantine Fault-Tolerant coordination for large-scale Low Earth Orbit satellite constellation…

This paper introduces Epistemic Byzantine Fault Tolerance (EBFT), a fault-tolerance model for agentic infrastructure and post-deterministic distributed systems, addressing the Honest Quorum Problem an…

Gatling is a new atomic broadcast protocol that achieves arbitrarily small inter-proposal times, even smaller than the network delay, by running multiple parallel instances of a black-box atomic broad…

This paper proposes improvements to rotating-leader consensus protocols and their underlying P2P networks in blockchain systems, achieving up to 7.26x peak throughput improvement.

This paper proposes a decentralized collaborative learning paradigm for Tsetlin Machines using consensus-based inference, allowing heterogeneous agents to maintain their own private models and combine…

The authors resolve the contradiction between deterministic crash-tolerant consensus in a fully asynchronous environment and the FLP impossibility result by demonstrating that one protocol phase separ…

The paper evaluates dynamic coordination strategy selection for enterprise multi-agent systems, finding that a calibrated default routing approach is effective, even if a deterministic winner-selectio…

The paper proposes using an LLM aggregator that analyzes complete reasoning traces, demonstrating that trace-level synthesis is superior to traditional consensus methods like majority voting for solvi…

This paper introduces a new distributed computational model called the uniform port model, which allows for efficient self-stabilizing algorithms for local symmetry breaking problems on general graphs…

The paper proposes an interrogator-based framework for IoUT that dynamically monitors agent behavior using a lightweight transformer model to calculate trust scores, significantly improving detection…

The paper introduces distance-preserving transaction digests, a new primitive that replaces standard collision-resistant hashes, enabling more efficient and robust Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) cons…

RAFT proposes a two-stage framework combining data refinement and adaptive distillation to improve domain-specific fine-tuning while mitigating the loss of general model capabilities.

The paper introduces SuperPaymaster, an Asset-Oriented Abstraction (AOA) paymaster that eliminates the need for a centralized off-chain signer, thereby improving the decentralization and efficiency of…

Space Fabric introduces a novel satellite-based Trusted Execution Architecture (TEE) that establishes trust for orbital computing by generating cryptographic secrets and binding workload execution to…
