BaseSAP: Modular Stealth Address Protocol for Programmable Blockchains
Anton Wahrstätter, Matthew Solomon, Ben DiFrancesco +2
Stealth addresses represent an approach to enhancing privacy within public and distributed blockchains, such as Ethereum and Bitcoin. Stealth address protocols generate a distinct,…
Confronting the Carbon-footprint Challenge of Blockchain
Xiaoyang Shi, Hang Xiao, Weifeng Liu +4
The distributed consensus mechanism is the backbone of the rapidly developing blockchain network. Blockchain platforms consume vast amounts of electricity based on the current cons…
Combining GHOST and Casper
Vitalik Buterin, Diego Hernandez, Thor Kamphefner +6
We present "Gasper," a proof-of-stake-based consensus protocol, which is an idealized version of the proposed Ethereum 2.0 beacon chain. The protocol combines Casper FFG, a finalit…
Interactive coin offerings
Jason Teutsch, Vitalik Buterin, Christopher Brown
Ethereum has emerged as a dynamic platform for exchanging cryptocurrency tokens. While token crowdsales cannot simultaneously guarantee buyers both certainty of valuation and certa…
Incentives in Ethereum's Hybrid Casper Protocol
Vitalik Buterin, Daniel Reijsbergen, Stefanos Leonardos +1
We present an overview of hybrid Casper the Friendly Finality Gadget (FFG): a Proof-of-Stake checkpointing protocol overlaid onto Ethereum's Proof-of-Work blockchain. We describe i…
Fraud and Data Availability Proofs: Maximising Light Client Security and Scaling Blockchains with Dishonest Majorities
Mustafa Al-Bassam, Alberto Sonnino, Vitalik Buterin
Light clients, also known as Simple Payment Verification (SPV) clients, are nodes which only download a small portion of the data in a blockchain, and use indirect means to verify…
A Flexible Design for Funding Public Goods
Vitalik Buterin, Zoe Hitzig, E. Glen Weyl
We propose a design for philanthropic or publicly-funded seeding to allow (near) optimal provision of a decentralized, self-organizing ecosystem of public goods. The concept extend…
Casper the Friendly Finality Gadget
Vitalik Buterin, Virgil Griffith
We introduce Casper, a proof of stake-based finality system which overlays an existing proof of work blockchain. Casper is a partial consensus mechanism combining proof of stake al…
