Network Assumption Relaxation describes the process of reducing or altering the stringent assumptions typically required for a blockchain network to operate securely and efficiently. This can involve modifying consensus mechanisms or trust models to achieve greater scalability or lower costs. Such changes often entail trade-offs between decentralization, security, and performance. It seeks to optimize network operations by adjusting core tenets.
Context
In the rapidly evolving landscape of blockchain technology, network assumption relaxation is a frequent topic in discussions about protocol upgrades and layer-two solutions. News reports often detail how projects are adjusting their underlying assumptions to address scalability limitations or transaction throughput. Understanding these relaxations is critical for evaluating the long-term viability and security characteristics of different digital asset networks, as they directly impact the system’s fundamental properties.
Redefining the asynchronous network model with non-adversarial scheduling circumvents the classic FLP impossibility, enabling provably live BFT consensus.
