Abstract

Consortium chain is the main application form of blockchain technology in the actual industry, and its consensus mechanism mostly adopts the practical Byzantine fault-tolerant algorithm(PBFT). However, if the number of nodes is too large the success rate and efficiency of consensus will lower, and have scalability problems. Therefore, this paper proposed a Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus algorithm NAC-PBFT based on network self clustering. Using the known information of network structure and system node in industry application, the seed node designated in the audit node of consortium chain, and taken as the center and self clustered into several groups. It elected the agents by optimizing the practical Byzantine fault-tolerant algorithm in the group, and the agents in each group completed the global consensus. During the intra group election, the credibility index was defined to measure the node, and it was used as the standard for selecting candidate agents to ensure that the agents selected each time were in good condition. Through the system analysis and performance test, NAC-PBFT algorithm can effectively reduce the amount of information, has better performance in consensus time and system throughput index, and has better scalability.
