Multi-valued Byzantine agreement (MVBA) protocols are essential for atomic broadcast and fault-tolerant state machine replication in asynchronous networks. Despite advances, challenges persist in optimizing these protocols for communication and computation efficiency. This paper presents a committee-based MVBA protocol (cMVBA), a novel approach that achieves agreement without extra communication rounds by analyzing message patterns in asynchronous networks with probability 1.
