Abstract

To address the high throughput and resistance to Byzantine node attacks in the microgrid trading scenario of consortium chains, this paper proposed a multi-leader Byzantine fault tolerance consensus algorithm based on Raft, named MLB-Raft. The algorithm first utilized the VRF to select a group of leader nodes, increasing throughput by allowing multiple leaders to submit blocks in parallel. A coordinator role was then introduced, responsible for the election and management of leaders and system consensus. During the block replication process between leaders and followers, the consensus process of the practical Byzantine fault tolerance(PBFT) algorithm was integrated and simplified to achieve the Byzantine resilience of this algorithm. Experimental results show that, under a large-scale network node environment, compared to the Raft algorithm, this algorithm improves throughput and consensus efficiency at the cost of some communication overhead. Compared to the PBFT algorithm, this algorithm enhances Byzantine fault tolerance and reduces communication overhead. In summary, this algorithm can effectively ensure the timeliness and security of alliance chain microgrid transactions.
