SUMMARY:Durham-Liverpool synergy Series
DESCRIPTION:Roger Wattenhofer: Cascade: Asynchronous Proof-of-Stake\n\nNakamoto’s Bitcoin protocol has taught the world how to achieve trust without a designated trusted party.  However, Bitcoin’s proof-of-work solution comes at serious costs and compromises. While solving the energy problem of proof-of-work, proof-of-stake introduces some of its own problems.  We relax the usual notion of consensus to extract the requirements necessary for an efficient cryptocurrency. Towards this end, we introduce a blockchain design called Cascade that is consensusless, asynchronous, scalable, deterministic, and efficient. While Cascade has its own limitations, it should serve as a nice discussion basis for a better blockchain design.\n\nCascade is joint work with Jakub Sliwinski.\n\nhttps://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/research/seminars/abstract.php?id=1146
