RadiumBFT eliminates the uncertainty that plagues other blockchains. While most networks require multiple confirmations and risk rollbacks, RadiumBFT provides instant finality—once a block is committed, it's permanent. No forks, no reorganizations, no waiting for "enough" confirmations.
Core Advantages
Single-Phase Commitment
Unlike traditional BFT protocols that require multiple rounds of voting, RadiumBFT commits blocks in a streamlined proposal-vote-proof pipeline. Each block reaches permanent finality in seconds, not minutes, without the complexity of multi-phase commits or the risk of partial execution failures.
Deterministic Pacemaker
RadiumBFT replaces unreliable timers with cryptographic slot generation—a verifiable proof-of-work mechanism that ensures all nodes advance at the same pace. Leaders must complete computational work before proposing, preventing premature advancement while maintaining predictable block times.
Quorum Intersection Safety
Every decision requires weighted supermajority approval with guaranteed quorum intersection. The protocol mathematically ensures that conflicting blocks cannot both achieve finality, providing absolute certainty that committed transactions will never be reversed.
Technical Foundation
Slot-Based Timing: Leaders generate cryptographic slots containing 101 hash chain entries before they can propose blocks. This deterministic mechanism replaces fragile network timers with verifiable computational work, ensuring synchronized progression across all nodes.
Adaptive Performance: Dynamic difficulty adjustment targets consistent block intervals while accounting for network overhead and hardware differences. The system automatically scales computational requirements to maintain steady 1-second block times regardless of varying conditions.
Weighted Consensus: Delegate nodes with stake vote on proposals, with decisions requiring supermajority threshold. The mathematical properties of quorum intersection guarantee that once a block commits, no conflicting block can ever achieve the necessary votes for finality.
