Evaluating the Red Belly Blockchain

Understand

In this paper, we present the most extensive evaluation of blockchain system to date.

• To achieve scalability across servers in more than 10 countries located on 4 different continents, we drastically revisited Byzantine fault tolerant blockchains and verification of signatures.
• The resulting blockchain, called the Red Belly Blockchain (RBBC), commits more than a hundred thousand transactions issued by permissionless nodes.
• These transactions are grouped into blocks within few seconds through a partially synchronous consensus run by permissioned nodes.
