If 1/3 +1 validators are malicious, they still can not commit malicious blocks (2/3 is needed for consensus).

Thanks for the correction.

@MihailoBjelic

Tendermint (being a modification of PBFT) has quadratic message complexity (which means it becomes very slow when the number of nodes increase).

I see, thanks for the input. The other option we are considering is Dfinity style consensus using BLS signature aggregation. This can probably be done log(n) due to BLS properties.

Or crypto-economic signatures as described here.

Either way, we should be able to support 400+ validators, which should be fairly resistant to cartelization.
