NestBFT

NestBFT is a Byzantine Fault Tolerant consensus mechanism designed to provide fast, scalable, and fault-tolerant blockchain operations across all Canopy chains. It ensures that sub-chains can maintain high uptime and security, even if up to one-third of validators fail or act maliciously.

💡Unlike Proof-of-Work (PoW), NestBFT does not rely on intensive computation, making it environmentally friendly while guaranteeing that Canopy chains can operate smoothly during all phases of their evolution, including independence.

In this section you'll read about some of the core-features of Canopy's unique consensus algorithm
