Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance. Classical BFT consensus algorithm (Castro & Liskov, 1999) tolerating up to f faulty nodes in 3f+1 total, requiring O(n^2) message complexity per round. Solana's Tower BFT reduces this to O(n) by using Proof of History as a clock, replacing round-based message exchanges with time-based vote lockouts.

Solana's custom BFT consensus algorithm built on top of Proof of History. Tower BFT uses PoH as a clock to reduce communication overhead in traditional PBFT from O(n²) to O(n). Validators vote on forks with exponentially increasing lockout periods—each consecutive vote doubles the lockout, making rollbacks progressively more expensive. A fork is finalized when it reaches supermajority (66.7%+ of stake).
The ability of a distributed system to reach consensus despite some nodes behaving arbitrarily (maliciously or failing). BFT algorithms tolerate up to f faulty nodes in a network of 3f+1 total nodes (1/3 threshold). Solana's Tower BFT, Tendermint, and PBFT are BFT consensus variants. BFT is essential for permissionless blockchains.
The protocol by which nodes in a distributed network agree on the current state of the ledger. Common mechanisms include Proof of Work (Bitcoin), Proof of Stake (Ethereum, Solana), and BFT variants. Consensus ensures all honest nodes converge on the same transaction history despite potential network delays or malicious actors.

Essas entradas são fáceis de misturar quando você lê rápido, faz prompting em um LLM ou está entrando em uma nova camada de Solana.
Two failure models in distributed systems. Crash faults assume nodes either work correctly or stop entirely (fail-stop). Byzantine faults assume nodes can behave arbitrarily — sending conflicting messages, lying, or acting maliciously. Blockchains must tolerate Byzantine faults, requiring BFT consensus (like Solana's Tower BFT) that works even with up to 1/3 malicious validators.
Processing technique where multiple stages of a task execute in overlapping fashion, like an assembly line. Solana's validator pipeline processes transactions through fetch, SigVerify, banking, and broadcast stages simultaneously, achieving higher throughput than sequential processing. Essential to Solana's 400ms slot production.

A systems programming language emphasizing memory safety, zero-cost abstractions, and concurrency without a garbage collector. Rust uses an ownership model with borrow checking at compile time to prevent data races and null pointer bugs. It is the primary language for Solana program development (via Anchor or native solana-program crate) and the Agave validator client.
A statically typed superset of JavaScript that compiles to plain JavaScript. TypeScript adds type annotations, interfaces, generics, and enums to catch errors at compile time. It is the standard language for Solana client-side development—wallet adapters, dApp frontends, test suites, and SDK interactions (web3.js, Anchor client) are typically written in TypeScript.
The ubiquitous scripting language for web development, running in browsers and Node.js. JavaScript is dynamically typed and event-driven. Most Solana dApp frontends and scripts use JavaScript/TypeScript with libraries like @solana/web3.js. Node.js enables server-side JS for backend services, indexers, and bot development.
A JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 engine that enables server-side JavaScript execution. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model. In the Solana ecosystem, Node.js is used for: running Anchor tests (Mocha/Jest), backend services, transaction bots, indexers, and CLI tools. npm/yarn/pnpm manage JavaScript package dependencies.
