HotStuff-2 vs. HotStuff: The Difference and Advantage
Abstract
Byzantine consensus protocols are essential in blockchain technology. The widely recognized HotStuff protocol uses cryptographic measures for efficient view changes and reduced communication complexity. Recently, the main authors of HotStuff introduced an advanced iteration named HotStuff-2. This paper aims to compare the principles and analyze the effectiveness of both protocols, hoping to depict their key differences and assess the potential enhancements offered by HotStuff-2.
