Stellar Consensus Protocol Solves Global Trust
If you’ve ever wondered how global networks reach agreement without relying on slow, energy-heavy mechanisms like proof-of-work, the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP) offers one of the most elegant answers. Built on a breakthrough model called Federated Byzantine Agreement (FBA), SCP enables open, decentralized consensus at Internet scale — where each node chooses whom it trusts, and system-wide quorums emerge organically.
This short audio breakdown highlights how the protocol works, why it matters, and what makes SCP fundamentally different from traditional blockchain approaches. From nomination and balloting to safety, liveness, and resilience against malicious actors, the track distills the essentials into a fast, clear explainer.
Tap play below to get the full micro-overview — and understand why SCP remains one of the most forward-thinking consensus models in the space.
