# Research on Distributed Consensus

Modern blockchain systems rely on Byzantine Fault Tolerance[^1]. This allows nodes to agree on transaction order even if up to one-third of the participants act maliciously[^2].

Furthermore, Zero-Knowledge Proofs[^3] allow verifiable computations without disclosing underlying private transaction parameters[^4].

[^1]: Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance was first formalized by Castro and Liskov in 1999.
[^2]: In the classical Byzantine Generals Problem, generals must agree on an attack strategy through unreliable couriers.
[^3]: Zero-Knowledge Proofs are cryptographic methods where one party proves to another that a statement is true without revealing additional information.
[^4]: Enhanced privacy standards are specified in NIST SP 800-53 security controls.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the standard Markdown footnote syntax?

GitHub Flavored Markdown and Pandoc use [^1] inside the text to indicate a footnote reference, and [^1]: Footnote text at the bottom of the document to provide the definition.

What happens if I insert a new paragraph between existing footnotes?

In manual editing, adding a footnote in the middle throws off the entire numbering sequence. This tool scans the text from top to bottom and re-sequences every reference and definition automatically.

Does this support named footnotes?

Yes! You can write [^source] and [^source]: definition while drafting. This tool will convert it to [^1], [^2] in perfect sequential order.
