This paper proposes a credit-driven practical byzantine fault tolerance based on a consensus algorithm for sustainable 6G communication to address the potential threat of malicious activity in green and sustainable 6G-based Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications. The dual-layer architecture allows for simultaneous verification of transactions and the execution of read-write operations. According to simulation studies, CD-PBFT enhances algorithm performance and stability while efficiently reducing validation time. Empirical findings demonstrate that CD-PBFT achieves both efficiency and security fault tolerance by reducing network transaction latency by an average of 34.8% and increasing throughput by 25.2% compared to PBFT.
