Epidemic Consensus Protocol Scales Blockchains by Eliminating Fixed Leaders
The Blockchain Epidemic Consensus Protocol (BECP) achieves probabilistic convergence without leaders, fundamentally unlocking massive-scale decentralized network architecture.
Secure BFT Consensus for Dynamically Available Networks Using PVSS
A novel BFT protocol integrates PVSS with pre-commits to secure fast consensus in dynamic networks, achieving $4Delta$ latency and 50% resilience.
Formalizing Economic Security with Expensive to Attack in Absence of Collapse
A new EAAC property formally quantifies the economic security of consensus, proving that targeted slashing is only possible under strong synchronous network assumptions.
Protocol Design Shapes Validator Geography and Systemic Resilience
Latency-calibrated modeling proves multi-source block aggregation accelerates validator clustering, demanding architectural levers for global distribution.
Permissionless Consensus Framework Defines Blockchain Security Limits
This research establishes a foundational framework for permissionless consensus, categorizing blockchain environments to reveal inherent security and liveness.
