Frosty for partial synchrony
Stephen Buttolph, Andrew Lewis-Pye, Kevin Sekniqi
Snowman is the consensus protocol used by blockchains on Avalanche. Recent work has shown both how to augment Snowman with a `liveness' module called `Frosty' that protects against…
Snowman for partial synchrony
Aaron Buchwald, Stephen Buttolph, Andrew Lewis-Pye +1
Snowman is the consensus protocol run by blockchains on Avalanche. Recent work established a rigorous proof of probabilistic consistency for Snowman in the \emph{synchronous} setti…
Frosty: Bringing strong liveness guarantees to the Snow family of consensus protocols
Aaron Buchwald, Stephen Buttolph, Andrew Lewis-Pye +2
Snowman is the consensus protocol implemented by the Avalanche blockchain and is part of the Snow family of protocols, first introduced through the original Avalanche leaderless co…
A Classification Framework for Stablecoin Designs
Amani Moin, Emin Gün Sirer, Kevin Sekniqi
Stablecoins promise to bridge fiat currencies with the world of cryptocurrencies. They provide a way for users to take advantage of the benefits of digital currencies, such as abil…
Scalable and Probabilistic Leaderless BFT Consensus through Metastability
Team Rocket, Maofan Yin, Kevin Sekniqi +2
This paper introduces a family of leaderless Byzantine fault tolerance protocols, built around a metastable mechanism via network subsampling. These protocols provide a strong prob…
