Designed and implemented a hybrid consensus algorithm combining Proof-of-Stake with DAG structures. Achieved 10,000+ TPS while maintaining decentralization and security guarantees.
Overview
This project addresses the blockchain trilemma by developing a novel consensus mechanism that combines the energy efficiency of Proof-of-Stake with the parallelism of Directed Acyclic Graphs.
Technical Innovations
- Hybrid PoS-DAG consensus with formal security proofs
- Adaptive block size based on network conditions
- Byzantine fault tolerance with up to 33% malicious nodes
- Efficient gossip protocol for transaction propagation
Results
The implementation in Rust achieves remarkable performance metrics while maintaining the security properties essential for decentralized systems. Extensive testing on a global testnet demonstrates scalability and robustness under various attack scenarios.
