Abstract [Objective] This paper analyzes the application of Byzantine problem and reviews related research on the consensus mechanisms of consortium blockchain.[Coverage] We searched “consensus mechanisms” as keywords from the titles or topics of WoS, ResearchGate, arXiv and CNKI databases. A total of 74 papers were retrieved.[Methods] We reviewed the consensus mechanism and classification method of the blockchain. Then, we explored the applications of Byzantine problem, and discussed the strong and permissioned consensus mechanisms.[Results] We summarized the developments and ties of Byzantine problem, Brewer’s theorem, Byzantine system and Byzantine fault-tolerant mechanism. We also proposed the basic procedures and evaluation criteria for consensus mechanisms of consortium blockchain. Finally, we divided the consensus mechanism into four categories based on security and time delay.[Limitations] This paper did not cover all consensus mechanisms for consortium blockchain.[Conclusions] The research on consensus mechanism promotes the implementation of blockchain, which could be improved from fault tolerance, communication delay and conversion efficiency in the future studies.
