Streamlet: Textbook Streamlined Blockchains
- Computer Science, MathematicsIACR Cryptol. ePrint Arch.
- 2020
An extremely simple and natural paradigm called Streamlet for constructing consensus protocols that is inspired by the core techniques that have been uncovered in the past five years of work on consensus partly driven by the cryptocurrency community and how remarkably simple the new generation of consensus protocols has become in comparison with classical mainstream approaches such as PBFT and Paxos.
zkCrowd: A Hybrid Blockchain-Based Crowdsourcing Platform
- Computer Science, MathematicsIEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics
- 2020
This article proposes an innovative hybrid blockchain crowdsourcing platform, named zkCrowd, which integrates with a hybrid blockchain structure, smart contract, dual ledgers, and dual consensus protocols to secure communications, verify transactions, and preserve privacy.
ABC: Asynchronous Blockchain without Consensus
- Mathematics, Computer ScienceArXiv
- 2019
A new blockchain architecture called ABC is introduced that functions despite not establishing consensus, and comes with an array of advantages: ABC is permissionless, deterministic, and resilient to complete asynchrony.
BDoS: Blockchain Denial-of-Service
- Computer ScienceCCS
- 2020
It is found that Bitcoin's vulnerability to BDoS increases rapidly as the mining industry matures and profitability drops, and the novel idea that an adversary can manipulate miners' incentives by proving the existence of blocks without actually publishing them is introduced.
