Scalar DL: Scalable and Practical Byzantine Fault Detection for Transactional Database Systems
Summary: Scalar DL is a db-agnostic BFD middleware for transactional DBs; two replicas ensure detection if one is honest. It runs conflict-free transactions in parallel with a correctness guarantee, beating prior BFD by 3.5–10.6× and nearlinear scalability. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
