What it means

Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) consensus is a consensus mechanism that allows a distributed system to reach agreement even when some nodes fail or act maliciously. SORA v3 uses BFT consensus derived from Hyperledger Iroha 3's architecture, providing high-throughput transaction processing with deterministic finality. This differs from SORA v2's Substrate-based consensus, offering improved security and performance for enterprise-grade applications including CBDCs.
