This micro-explainer breaks down the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP) — a next-generation approach to Internet-scale consensus built on Federated Byzantine Agreement (FBA).

SCP rethinks how distributed systems reach agreement by replacing traditional, closed-membership Byzantine models—and the costly inefficiencies of proof-of-work and proof-of-stake—with an open, decentralized quorum model. Each node selects its own quorum slices, allowing trust to expand organically across the network.

We cover SCP’s two core engines:
• Nomination — how values first enter consensus
• Ballot protocol — how nodes safely agree without deadlock, even with malicious actors present

The result: a consensus system engineered for safety, liveness, and global scalability—shaping what the future of digital value transfer may look like.
