BEAT: Asynchronous BFT Made Practical

• BEAT is an asynchronous Byzantine fault-tolerant protocol with high throughput and great scalability.

• This repository contains a Python 2.7 implementation of the BEAT protocols. The prototype is built based on the implementation of HoneyBadgerBFT, another asynchronous BFT protocol https://github.com/amiller/HoneyBadgerBFT

• Currently, only BEAT0 has been released. Other BEAT protocols will be released soon.

• Please refer to the following paper for more details.
