Title: HotStuff-2 vs. HotStuff: The Difference and Advantage Authors: Siyuan Zhao; Yanqi Wu; Zheng Wang Venue: arXiv (Cornell University) Year: 2024 Canonical: doi:10.48550/arxiv.2403.18300 URL: https://doi.org/10.48550/arxiv.2403.18300 Collector: openalex OA: true ABSTRACT Byzantine consensus protocols are essential in blockchain technology. The widely recognized HotStuff protocol uses cryptographic measures for efficient view changes and reduced communication complexity. Recently, the main authors of HotStuff introduced an advanced iteration named HotStuff-2. This paper aims to compare the principles and analyze the effectiveness of both protocols, hoping to depict their key differences and assess the potential enhancements offered by HotStuff-2.
