A Provably Secure Proof-of-Stake Blockchain Protocol
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a provably-secure blockchain protocol based on “proof of stake.” As far as we are aware, this is the first proof of stake blockchain protocol which provides rigorous security guarantees. The security properties of the system are analyzed in the model of [9] and are comparable to the ones possessed by the bitcoin blockchain protocol which utilizes proof of work. Furthermore, an incentive mechanism for the protocol is also proposed.

Ouroboros: A Provably Secure Proof-of-Stake Blockchain Protocol
We present “Ouroboros,” the first blockchain protocol based on proof of stake with rigorous security guarantees. We establish security properties for the protocol comparable to those achieved by the bitcoin blockchain protocol. As the protocol provides a “proof of stake” blockchain discipline, it offers qualitative efficiency advantages over blockchains based on proof of physical resources (e.g...
متن کاملOuroboros Praos: An adaptively-secure, semi-synchronous proof-of-stake protocol
We present “Ouroboros Praos”, a new proof-of-stake blockchain protocol that provides, for the first time, a robust distributed ledger that is provably secure in the semi-synchronous adversarial setting, i.e., assuming a delay ∆ in message delivery which is unknown to protocol participants, and fully adaptively secure, i.e., the adversary can choose to corrupt any participant of an ever evolving...
متن کاملTwinsCoin: A Cryptocurrency via Proof-of-Work and Proof-of-Stake
We design and implement TwinsCoin, the rst cryptocurrency based on a provably secure and scalable public blockchain design using both proof-of-work and proof-of-stake mechanisms. Dierent from the proof-ofwork based Bitcoin, our construction uses two types of resources, computing power and coins (i.e., stake). e blockchain in our system is more robust than that in a pure proof-of-work based s...
متن کامل2-hop Blockchain: Combining Proof-of-Work and Proof-of-Stake Securely∗
Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin have proven to be a phenomenal success. Bitcoin-like systems use proofof-work mechanism which is therefore considered as 1-hop blockchain, and their security holds if the majority of the computing power is under the control of honest players. However, this assumption has been seriously challenged recently and Bitcoin-like systems will fail when this assumption is b...

Bitcoin and blockchain technologies have proven to be a phenomenal success. e un-derlying techniques hold huge promise to change the future of nancial transactions, andeventually the way people and companies compute, collaborate, and interact. At the sametime, the current Bitcoin-like proof-of-work based blockchain systems are facing many chal-lenges. For example, a huge amoun...
