Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System

This work proposes a solution to the double-spending problem using a peer-to-peer network, where the network timestamps transactions by hashing them into an ongoing chain of hash-based proof-of-work, forming a record that cannot be changed without redoing the proof- of-work.

PPCoin: Peer-to-Peer Crypto-Currency with Proof-of-Stake

Under this hybrid design proof-of-work mainly provides initial minting and is largely non-essential in the long run thus providing an energyefficient and more cost-competitive peer-to-peer crypto-currency.

SoK: Research Perspectives and Challenges for Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies

This work identifies three key components of Bit coin's design that can be decoupled, and maps the design space for numerous proposed modifications, providing comparative analyses for alternative consensus mechanisms, currency allocation mechanisms, computational puzzles, and key management tools.
