Abstract

As Blockchain gains traction, it can be said that it is the primary focus of many computer science studies due to its enormous impact on thousands of projects and organizations, which prompted them to completely alter their approach to storing and processing large quantities of data. Despite attempts by detractors to undermine its durability, security, and stability. Consensus is required for the Blockchain network to be completely secure and decentralized. In brief, consensus is the process of approving or rejecting network transactions. Our work will consist of a statistical analysis and a comprehensive overview of the most recent consensus algorithms, comparing their throughput speed, scalability of the network, security resilience against a variety of attacks, decentralization of the database, and the amount of resources required each time a block is added. All of this is intended to provide a comprehensive understanding of these algorithms and their respective use cases.
