The development of reliable distributed systems often relies on Byzantine Agreement (BA) [26]. In this problem, a set of correct processes aim to reach a common decision, despite the presence of malicious ones. BA has been around for four decades, yet practical use-cases for it in large-scale systems have emerged only in the last decade. One major application for BA is cryptocurrencies. For example, Bitcoin [30], the rst cryptocurrency, requires a large set of users to agree on the state of the blockchain. Since Bitcoin is a real currency with real value, the need to protect it against Byzantine users is crucial. Following Bitcoin, many other blockchains and FinTech platforms have emerged, e.g., [6,21,30,36]. Consequently, an efficient implementation, in terms of communication, has become one of the main foci of BA solutions.
