Look Ma! No Gas (fees)..on playing this Layer 2 based Blockchain Solution
A look at Layer 2 Protocols, Ethereum’s scalability issues, and the future of decentralized applications Much like smartphone applications have shown us the true capabilities of today’s mainstream technologies,…
DAG vs Blockchain – More Similarities than Differences
Have you heard about DAG protocols? Some say that they are the next level for blockchain. They’ll solve all of blockchain’s shortcomings and allow for mass adoption. But what…
How Blockchain Will Fix Internet Communications
Today’s internet operates on underlying protocols and services invented in the 1960s during the first stage of the public internet. Based on a standard model for networking that serves…
Protocols Should Be Designed by Amateurs
Protocols are not handed down from on high. On the contrary, they start as a seed, which grows into a massive tree (if it’s worthy, and more importantly, if…
Zero knowledge proofs with Sigma protocols
Photo by Niklas Hamann on Unsplash Sigma protocols are 3 phase protocols for proving knowledge of values in some relation without disclosing the values themselves. eg. knowledge of discrete log,…
Symbiosis Instead of Dichotomy: PoW and PoS-mining
Proof of Stake (PoS) and Proof of Work (PoW) are the two most popular protocols for reaching consensus in blockchain networks. The fundamental difference between PoW and PoS is…
Pokémon is entering the blockchain space (Avalanche)
The Avalanche Family Slush, Snowflake and Snowball are the first protocols described in this paper. They are solely used for the sake of understanding the final member: Avalanche. They…
Protecting Byzantine Fault Tolerance with Trusted Execution
You might be familiar with non-BFT consensus protocols like Paxos and Raft. These protocols can tolerate crash failures in up to 1/2 of the nodes, but these failures do…
Some Reflections About Identity and Security Tokens: Part I
Identity is the key element that differentiate security tokens from other blockchain protocols. In the current generation of security token platforms, identity is constrained to the use of “white…
