Summary:Traditional Byzantine agreement protocols require all fault-free
receivers to agree on an identical value. The proposed degradable
agreement approach achieves traditional agreement up to m faults and a
degraded form of agreement up to u faults (u⩾m), which allows
fault-free receivers to agree on at most two different values (one of
which is necessarily the default value). A degradable agreement
algorithm and lower bounds are presented
