Abstract
We present a Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) distributed ledger protocol that is aimed at making mobile devices first-class citizens in the consensus process by having them communicate through online brokers. The protocol is provably safe and live. We show that it is capable of a throughput on the order of several thousand transactions per second per shard, and sub-second confirmation latency.
