Abstract
This paper proposes a linear consensus protocol QuickBFT based on Vague sets and multi-attribute decision-making methods. QuickBFT simplifies the communication process based on the HotStuff protocol, reduces the four-stage communication to three-stage communication, and reduces the consensus delay. Furthermore, we introduce the Vague set and multi-attribute decision-making theory into the consensus protocol and propose a new leader node selection algorithm, which can prevent Byzantine nodes from becoming leader nodes, thereby improving the protocol performance when the leader node is attacked. Experimental results show that the throughput of QuickBFT is slightly higher than that of the HotStuff protocol without Byzantine nodes, and the consensus delay is reduced by 20%. In the presence of Byzantine nodes, the throughput of QuickBFT is increased by 80% compared with the HotStuff protocol, and the consensus delay is reduced by 60%.
