Weather Block believes that the concept of crowdsourcing will bring
a new consensus protocol of the blockchain.
This would include code related to token creation,
a new consensus protocol, or new technical features.
More recently,
new consensus protocols have been invented to allow cryptoeconomic systems to agree on the state
Not exact matches
The process by which a network of nodes confirms the records of previously verified transactions, and by which it verifies
new transactions, is known as a
consensus protocol.
Ethereum's current
consensus protocol - the way the network agrees to add a
new block to the chain - is called proof - of - work and requires resources to be expended as its «proof.»
New blocks will only be added to the blockchain if their hash is at least as challenging as a difficulty value expected by the network's
consensus protocol.
The nodes mine the
consensus and perform transaction pooling by geo - mining
protocol, using 1 - hop directionality to search nearest neighbors and
newer information (transactions).
The
new project is focusing on adoption of
new protocols that will change the
consensus mechanisms relating to the original Bitcoin.
That lead into a
new spin on
consensus algorithms with the Stellar
Consensus Protocol (SCP).
For
new blocks to get added in the blockchain, their hash should be atleast as challenging as expected by the
consensus protocol.
There will exist a validator pool if Casper (the
new proof of stake
consensus protocol) will be implemented.
Stellar
Consensus Protocol is an evolution of the federated Byzantine agreement, a
new approach to distributed
consensus.
Indeed, Buterin himself later said that a fixed supply is «worth considering» because Ethereum's transition to a Proof - of - Stake (PoS)
consensus algorithm will eventually eliminate the need for Proof - of - Work (PoW) mining and will allow the
protocol to issue rewards without creating
new coins.
