Towards Rational Consensus in Honest Majority
Varul Srivastava, Sujit Gujar
Distributed consensus protocols reach agreement among players in the presence of adversaries; different protocols support different values of . Existing works study this…
Centralization in Proof-of-Stake Blockchains: A Game-Theoretic Analysis of Bootstrapping Protocols
Varul Srivastava, Sankarshan Damle, Sujit Gujar
Proof-of-stake (PoS) has emerged as a natural alternative to the resource-intensive Proof-of-Work (PoW) blockchain, as was recently seen with the Ethereum Merge. PoS-based blockcha…
No Transaction Fees? No Problem! Achieving Fairness in Transaction Fee Mechanism Design
Sankarshan Damle, Varul Srivastava, Sujit Gujar
The recently proposed Transaction Fee Mechanism (TFM) literature studies the strategic interaction between the miner of a block and the transaction creators (or users) in a blockch…
DECENT-BRM: Decentralization through Block Reward Mechanisms
Varul Srivastava, Sujit Gujar
Proof-of-Work is a consensus algorithm where miners solve cryptographic puzzles to mine blocks and obtain a reward through some Block Reward Mechanism (BRM). PoW blockchain faces t…
