Summary
EBFT is a new consensus framework for permissioned blockchains (private blockchain networks where participants are known) that improves security by having nodes randomly propose blocks instead of relying on a single leader node. It combines ideas from Nakamoto consensus (the longest-chain rule used in Bitcoin) with classical BFT (Byzantine fault tolerance, a method for systems to reach agreement even when some nodes are faulty or malicious), achieving strong safety guarantees while remaining simple to implement.
