I'm exploring the consensus mechanisms in blockchain technology and I'm particularly interested in Proof of Stake. I want to know if it falls under the category of Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) algorithms.

A common characteristic of all these variants is their byzantine fault tolerance.

This means they are designed to continue operating correctly and reach consensus even if some nodes fail or behave maliciously.

Other consensus mechanisms that also offer BFT include Proof-of-authority (PoA) and Proof-of-identity (PoI).

Among them, the nominated proof-of-stake (NPoS) and Delegated proof-of-stake (DPoS) are prominent examples.
