Decentralized Blockchain Technologies: A Comparative Analysis of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana
This paper provides a comprehensive review and comparative analysis of the technological architectures, consensus mechanisms, and inherent limitations of the leading decentralized blockchain platforms - Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana.
Towards a Low-Carbon Blockchain System Using Proof-of-Virtual-Machine
This paper proposes a proof-of-virtual-machine (PoVM) approach to replace the energy-intensive proof-of-work (PoW) in traditional blockchains, with the goal of reducing the carbon footprint.
The Execution Tickets Proposal: Revolutionizing Ethereum's Economic Model and Capturing Maximal Extractable Value
The Execution Tickets proposal introduces an innovative ticketing mechanism that enables the Ethereum protocol to directly broker Maximal Extractable Value (MEV), traditionally an external revenue stream for validators. This approach aims to facilitate a more equitable distribution of value within the Ethereum ecosystem and enhance the network's security and economic robustness.
Bodyless Block Propagation: A Fully Scalable Blockchain with Pre-Validation
The core message of this paper is that the proposed bodyless block propagation (BBP) scheme can improve the transactions per second (TPS) scalability of blockchain systems from O(1/log(N)) to O(1), where N is the number of nodes in the network, without compromising security.
Blockchain Technology: Transforming Remittance, Empowering the Unbanked, and Enabling Illicit Activities
Blockchain technology has far-reaching implications, both positive and negative, for consumers across the world. While it can revolutionize the remittance industry, empower the unbanked, and enable secure storage of personal records, it also facilitates illicit activities like drug trade, money laundering, and terrorism funding.
