Abstract

The first BFTW3 workshop took place in Elche, Spain, on the 22nd of September, just before the 23rd International Symposium on Distributed Computing (DISC). The workshop gathered researchers from both the theory and systems communities and aimed at discussing recent advances and understanding why the impressive research activity in the area of Byzantine fault-tolerance is not yet instantiated in practice. Has the moment for a wide deployment of BFT systems arrived, and if so, where BFT systems should be deployed in the first place?
