Improvement and optimization of consensus algorithm based on PBFT

This paper proposes an improved consensus algorithm based on PBFT(EBCR-PBFT). Firstly, The Modified Random Select(MRS) function is used to perform preliminary screening of network nodes, so as to solve the problem of multiple and redundant network nodes. Secondly, based on the idea of clustering, logical stratification of blockchain network nodes can reduce communication times and improve network efficiency. Thirdly, the core module of MRS is optimized by FPGA to further improve the efficiency of the algorithm. At the same time, the improved dynamic reputation evaluation model is introduced to evaluate and feedback the node behavior in time to ensure the smooth operation of the system. Experiments show that the proposed and optimized consensus algorithm can effectively improve the consensus efficiency, timely punish malicious nodes, increase the reliability of nodes, communication overhead, throughput, delay and other high performance, has a certain application value.
