Embrace Robustness in Distributed Systems
Modeling software bugs is complex due to their unpredictable nature, leading theorists to adopt a conservative approach that assumes arbitrary behavior from software. In blockchain systems, the potential for nodes to disrupt protocols highlights the necessity of strong robustness concepts like Byzantine fault tolerance. This concept emphasizes the importance of agreement among distributed machines across all possible communication challenges, ensuring they maintain a synchronized state despite various operational hurdles.
