 The committee is of fixed size, thus we use a Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) Algorithm, which guarantees consistency and byzantine fault tolerance if less than ⅓ of nodes are malicious.

+As a basis for the IOTA Smart Contracts consensus, the Asynchronous Common Subset (ACS) part of the HoneyBadgerBFT algorithm is used, with the exception of how the proposals are combined.
 
 The rest of the consensus algorithm is built on top of the ACS. Each node supplies to the ACS its batch proposal which indicates a set of Request IDs, a timestamp, consensus and access mana pledge addresses, fee destination and a partial signature for generating non-forgeable entropy. Upon termination of the ACS, each honest node gets the same set of such proposals and aggregates them into the final batch in a deterministic way.
