ADAvaultSome post mortem analysis by Prof Aggelos Kiayias in a recent blog post Ouroboros: self-healing in the wild. The analysis explores how Ouroboros performed in the recent real world stress test. In summary, the recovery we observed followed the predicted, secure-by-design self-healing behavior of Ouroboros. As SPOs installed the patch, the effective, honest stake supporting…
There are a few new scaling technologies on the roadmap that will help Cardano to operate faster and accommodate more users and dApps. The main ones planned are: In the recent paper by Pyrros Chaidos, and Prof Aggelos Kiayias they explore a new stake-based primitive, stake-based threshold multisignatures (STM, or “Mithril” signatures), which allows the…
A couple of new research papers have just been released by the research powerhouse that is Prof Aggelos Kiayias and team. Worth linking because they both move the current state of knowledge forward significantly. Both worth reading, albeit complex to understand. Firstly PEReDi: Privacy-Enhanced, Regulated and Distributed Central Bank Digital Currencies, by Aggelos Kiayias, Markulf…
You probably already know that Cardano uses an algorithm known as Proof of Stake (PoS) to secure the blockchain, and maintain consensus between validators. You might also know that Ethereum is planning to transition to PoS to unlock some of the same benefits enjoyed by Cardano such as faster transaction speeds, lower transaction costs, reduced…
Tim interviews Aggelos. Really good update on the research agenda and goals. For us here at ADAvault the strong research driven agenda behind Cardano has always massive part of the attraction to the project. That and the fact that the research team are truly world class.
