RDV:工作量证明的替代方案和区块链的真正分散共识

RDV: An Alternative To Proof-of-Work And A Real Decentralized Consensus For Blockchain

Siamak Solat

摘要:

区块链是一个分散的分类账,所有交易都被记录下来。为了拥有可靠的区块链和防止双重支出,我们需要在区块链上达成分散的共识和协议。比特币使用工作量证明(PoW)。这是一个密码学难题,很难解决,但很容易验证。然而,由于用于交易确认的工作量证明的显著延迟,这种共识机制容易受到双重支出的影响。另一方面,PoW消耗了大量的能量,通过增长网络,它成为这种共识机制的主要问题。在本文中,我们介绍了PoW的替代方案,因为它的所有主要问题和安全问题都可能导致区块链的去中心化崩溃,而完全去中心化的系统是使用区块链技术的主要目的。我们介绍的方法是基于分布式投票过程,称为“RDV:注册,存款,投票”。由于RDV算法没有挖掘过程,因此适用于低能耗设备和物联网(IoT)。

英文摘要:

A blockchain is a decentralized ledger where all transactions are recorded. For having a reliable blockchain and double-spending prevention, we need a decentralized consensus and agreement on a blockchain. Bitcoin uses proof-of-work (PoW). It is a cryptographic puzzle that is difficult to solve but easy to verify. However, because of significant latency of proof-of-work for transactions confirmation, this consensus mechanism is vulnerable against double-spending. On the other hand, PoW consumes a significant amount of energy that by growing the network, it becomes a major problematic of this consensus mechanism. In this paper, we introduce an alternative to PoW, because of all its major problems and security issues that may lead to collapsing decentralization of the blockchain, while a full decentralized system is the main purpose of using blockchain technology. The approach we introduce is based on a distributed voting process and called "RDV: Register, Deposit, Vote". Since in RDV algorithm, there is no mining process, so it is appropriate for low-level energy devices and Internet of Things (IoT).
