Cryptography is world changing, but post-quantum cryptography makes the old engineering rule even more important: use as much cryptography as needed, but not more than that...
So, do BFT protocols really need that many signatures?
New on DT: a signature free Simplex style protocol 🔥

PBFT, Tendermint, and Simplex show that with cryptography, consensus can be achieved in 3 rounds. Can the same be achieved without cryptography? Our new paper answers this question: Yes! (1/n)
