This paper presents the first probabilistic Byzantine Agreement algorithm whose communication and time complexities are poly-logarithmic. So far, the most effective probabilistic Byzantine Agreement algorithm had communication complexity and time complexity. Our algorithm is based on a novel, unbalanced, almost everywhere to everywhere Agreement protocol which is interesting in its own right.
