Remora: Scale-out Deterministic Execution for Smart Contracts
Zhengqing Liu, Alberto Sonnino, Igor Zablotchi +2
Modern blockchains rely on a modular architecture that decouples consensus from execution. Recent advances in consensus algorithms have shifted the bottleneck to the execution laye…
Walrus: An Efficient Decentralized Storage Network
George Danezis, Giacomo Giuliari, Eleftherios Kokoris Kogias +4
Decentralized storage faces a fundamental trade-off between replication overhead, recovery efficiency, and security guarantees. Current approaches either rely on full replication,…
Anthemius: Efficient & Modular Block Assembly for Concurrent Execution
Ray Neiheiser, Eleftherios Kokoris-Kogias
Many blockchains such as Ethereum execute all incoming transactions sequentially significantly limiting the potential throughput. A common approach to scale execution is parallel e…
CHIRON: Accelerating Node Synchronization without Security Trade-offs in Distributed Ledgers
Ray Neiheiser, Arman Babaei, Giannis Alexopoulos +2
Blockchain performance has historically faced challenges posed by the throughput limitations of consensus algorithms. Recent breakthroughs in research have successfully alleviated…
Mandator and Sporades: Robust Wide-Area Consensus with Efficient Request Dissemination
Pasindu Tennage, Antoine Desjardins, Eleftherios Kokoris Kogias
Consensus algorithms are deployed in the wide area to achieve high availability for geographically replicated applications. Wide-area consensus is challenging due to two main reaso…
Baxos: Backing off for Robust and Efficient Consensus
Pasindu Tennage, Cristina Basescu, Eleftherios Kokoris Kogias +3
Leader-based consensus algorithms are vulnerable to liveness and performance downgrade attacks. We explore the possibility of replacing leader election in Multi-Paxos with random e…
All You Need is DAG
Idit Keidar, Eleftherios Kokoris-Kogias, Oded Naor +1
We present DAG-Rider, the first asynchronous Byzantine Atomic Broadcast protocol that achieves optimal resilience, optimal amortized communication complexity, and optimal time comp…
Brick: Asynchronous Payment Channels
Georgia Avarikioti, Eleftherios Kokoris Kogias, Roger Wattenhofer +1
Off-chain protocols (channels) are a promising solution to the scalability and privacy challenges of blockchain payments. Current proposals, however, require synchrony assumptions…
Enhancing Bitcoin Security and Performance with Strong Consistency via Collective Signing
Eleftherios Kokoris-Kogias, Philipp Jovanovic, Nicolas Gailly +3
While showing great promise, Bitcoin requires users to wait tens of minutes for transactions to commit, and even then, offering only probabilistic guarantees. This paper introduces…
