arXiv: 1901.08435 · 2022-02-18

## TL;DR

Mokka is a BFT consensus algorithm designed for open networks, combining RAFT-like approaches with a design optimized for distributed ledger technology, ensuring strong consistency in partial-synchronous environments.

## Contribution

Mokka introduces a novel BFT consensus algorithm that adapts RAFT-like methods for improved performance and reliability in distributed ledger applications.

## Key findings

- Achieves strong consistency in partial-synchronous networks
- Optimized for distributed ledger technology
- Improves upon existing BFT consensus algorithms

## Abstract

Mokka is a partial-synchronous, strong consistent BFT consensus algorithm for reaching the consensus about a certain value in open networks. This algorithm has some common approaches nested from RAFT, but its nature and design make Mokka a better solution for DLT (distributed ledger).
