Implement AlephBFT Consensus in Madara

Description

The goal of this issue is to implement the AlephBFT consensus algorithm in Madara. AlephBFT is a peer-reviewed consensus protocol that is used in the Aleph Zero blockchain. This will allow Madara to leverage the benefits of the AlephBFT consensus algorithm.

Background

AlephBFT is a unique consensus algorithm used in the Aleph Zero blockchain. It is implemented in Rust and is based on the Substrate framework. The Aleph node is based on a Substrate node where the default finality gadget (GRANDPA) has been replaced with AlephBFT. Block authoring is realized with Substrate's Aura.

Tasks

1. Research: Understand the AlephBFT consensus algorithm and how it can be integrated with Madara.
2. Design: Create a design document detailing how the AlephBFT consensus will be implemented in Madara. This should include any necessary changes to the existing architecture.
3. Implementation: Implement the design, ensuring that the new consensus algorithm is fully functional.
4. Testing: Write comprehensive tests to ensure the new consensus algorithm works as expected and does not introduce any regressions.
5. Documentation: Update the project documentation to reflect the new consensus algorithm.

Acceptance Criteria

• The AlephBFT consensus algorithm is fully implemented in Madara.
• The implementation passes all tests.
• The project documentation is updated to reflect the new consensus algorithm.

Resources

• AlephBFT Documentation
• AlephZero Substrate Node
