论开源金融轨道的可行性：无许可共识的经济安全性
On the Viability of Open-Source Financial Rails: Economic Security of Permissionless Consensus
AI总结：
本文评估比特币共识协议的安全性，提出一种既保证经济安全又保留无许可设计的新协议，该协议不依赖矿工支付或高能耗，并融合经济与分布式系统理论。
摘要：
比特币证明了在没有可信中央权威的情况下运行金融账本的可能性。然而，对其安全性和巨大能源消耗的担忧依然存在。我们评估了支撑比特币功能的共识协议，质疑这些协议是否能在保持允许运营商自由进入的无许可设计的同时，确保具有经济意义的安全性。我们通过构建一个既保证经济安全性又保留比特币无许可设计的协议，对此作出了肯定回答。该协议的安全性不依赖于向矿工支付货币或巨大的电力消耗，而我们的分析表明这些手段是无效的。我们的框架将经济理论与分布式系统理论相结合，并形式化了协议用户社区的角色。
英文摘要：
Bitcoin demonstrated the possibility of a financial ledger that operates without the need for a trusted central authority. However, concerns persist regarding its security and considerable energy consumption. We assess the consensus protocols that underpin Bitcoin's functionality, questioning whether they can ensure economically meaningful security while maintaining a permissionless design that allows free entry of operators. We answer this affirmatively by constructing a protocol that guarantees economic security and preserves Bitcoin's permissionless design. This protocol's security does not depend on monetary payments to miners or immense electricity consumption, which our analysis suggests are ineffective. Our framework integrates economic theory with distributed systems theory, and formalizes the role of the protocol's user community.
