Stabl: The Sensitivity of Blockchains to Failures

Blockchains promise to make online services more fault tolerant because they are replicated on a distributed system of nodes. Their nodes typically run different implementations of the same protocol across different geo-distributed regions, making the protocol supposedly tolerant to various failures including isolated crashes, transient failures, network partitions or attacks. Unfortunately, their fault tolerance has never been compared.

Abstract

Blockchains promise to make online services more fault tolerant because they are replicated on a distributed system of nodes. Their nodes typically run different implementations of the same protocol across different geo-distributed regions, making the protocol supposedly tolerant to various failures including isolated crashes, transient failures, network partitions or attacks. Unfortunately, their fault tolerance has never been compared.
