Sidechains vs Plasma vs Sharding

Special thanks to Jinglan Wang for review and feedback One question that often comes up is: how exactly is sharding different from sidechains or Plasma? All three architectures seem to involve a hub-and-spoke architecture with a central “main chain” that serves as the consensus backbone of the system, and a set of “child” chains containing actual user-level transactions. дальше »

EY Makes Privacy Enhanced Ethereum Tech Public Domain

By CCN: In four-to-six weeks, a blockchain product developed by Ernst & Young (EY), one of the “big four” professional services organizations, will be made public domain (open source). Privacy and Public Blockchains: A Tall Order From Large Enterprise Dubbed “EY Ops Chain Public Edition,” the technology uses zero-knowledge proofs to give permissions to transaction information similar to Monero and other privacy coins. дальше »

Merkle Tree Proofs (MTP), Proof of Work Crypto Mining and ASIC Resistance Debate Heats Up

Merkle Tree Proofs ASIC Resistance Egalitarian mining and the proof-of-work algorithm (PoW) makes ASIC resistance worth the pursuit. The algorithm, called Merkle Tree Proofs, is one that Zcoin seems to believe in and states that it is “premature” to give up this early on in the game. There are many reasons for ASIC resistance. The […] дальше »

STARKs, Part I: Proofs with Polynomials

Special thanks to Eli Ben-Sasson for ongoing help, explanations and review, coming up with some of the examples used in this post, and most crucially of all inventing a lot of this stuff; thanks to Hsiao-wei Wang for reviewing Hopefully many people by now have heard of ZK-SNARKs, the general-purpose succinct zero knowledge proof technology that can be used for all sorts of usecases ranging from verifiable computation to privacy-preserving cryptocurrency. дальше »
