# 共识机制

### Helium 共识协议 <a href="#consensus-group" id="consensus-group"></a>

Helium区块链采用基于HoneyBadgerBFT (HBBFT)的共识协议，以求在去中心化的基础上实现高效、安全的共识系统。点击了解关于[共识协议的更多信息](https://docs.helium.com/blockchain/consensus-protocol)。

### 共识小组选举 <a href="#consensus-group" id="consensus-group"></a>

当前的共识小组由[**验证节点**](/helium/about/consensus/validator.md)组成。成为验证节点需要质押10,000 HNT，并在适宜网络环境下运营验证节点终端。

每个Epoch，会有特定数量的验证节点被选举进入共识小组，负责履行验证交易与出块在内的共识职责，并在该Epoch结束时，获得相应的共识奖励（占HNT总量的6%）。
