With the advancement of blockchain systems, many
recent research works have proposed distributed ledger technology (DLT) that employs Byzantine fault-tolerant (BFT) consensus
protocols to decide which block to append next to the ledger.
Notably, BFT consensus can offer high performance, energy
efficiency, and provable correctness properties, and it is thus
considered a promising building block for creating highly resilient
and performant blockchain infrastructures. Yet, a major ongoing
challenge is to make BFT consensus applicable to large-scale
environments. A large body of recent work addresses this
challenge by developing novel ideas to improve the scalability
of BFT consensus, thus opening the path for a new generation
of BFT protocols tailored to the needs of blockchain. In this
survey, we create a systematization of knowledge about the
novel scalability-enhancing techniques that state-of-the-art BFT
consensus protocols use. For our comparison, we closely analyze
the efforts, assumptions, and trade-offs these protocols make.
