The evolution of consensus algorithm in cryptography requires different cryptographers and the biggest leap was from classic to Prowse, as it moved from a system that only worked in a consortium chain like Fabric to a specialized system with different actors. There are several hard problems to be solved along this chain of papers, ideas and the evolution of the consensus algorithm.
