A Scale-out Blockchain for Value Transfer with Spontaneous Sharding

Bitcoin, as well as many of its successors, require the whole transaction record to be reliably acquired by all nodes to prevent double-spending. Recently, many blockchains have been proposed to achieve scale-out throughput by letting nodes only acquire a ...

Decentralized Consensus Optimization With Asynchrony and Delays

Ali H. Sayed, Kun Yuan, Tianyu Wu

We propose an asynchronous, decentralized algorithm for consensus optimization. The algorithm runs over a network in which the agents communicate with their neighbors and perform local computation. In the proposed algorithm, each agent can compute and comm ...

Channels: Horizontal Scaling and Confidentiality on Permissioned Blockchains with Application on Hyperledger Fabric

Eleftherios Kokoris Kogias, Christian Cachin

Sharding, or partitioning the system’s state so that different subsets of participants handle it, is a proven approach to building distributed systems whose total capacity scales horizontally with the number of participants. Many distributed ledgers have a ...

Scalable Bias-Resistant Distributed Randomness

Bryan Alexander Ford, Linus Gasser, Eleftherios Kokoris Kogias, Philipp Svetolik Jovanovic, Nicolas Gailly, Ismail Khoffi

Bias-resistant public randomness is a critical component in many (distributed) protocols. Existing solutions do not scale to hundreds or thousands of participants, as is needed in many decentralized systems. We propose two large-scale distributed protocols ...

Implicit Consensus: Blockchain with Unbounded Throughput

Kelong Cong

Recently, the blockchain technique was put in the spotlight as it introduced a systematic approach for multiple parties to reach consensus without needing trust. However, the application of this technique in practice is severely restricted due to its limit ...

UnLynx: A Decentralized System for Privacy-Conscious Data Sharing

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Bryan Alexander Ford, Christian Vincent Mouchet, Jean Louis Raisaro, Zhicong Huang, David Jules Froelicher, Joao André Gomes de Sá e Sousa, Patricia Egger

Current solutions for privacy-preserving data sharing among multiple parties either depend on a centralized authority that must be trusted and provides only weakest-link security (e.g., the entity that manages private/secret cryptographic keys), or leverag ...

Centralized and Decentralized Electricity Markets: Assessment of Operational and Economic Aspects

Farzaneh Abbaspourtorbati, Anneta Matenli

This paper presents the comparison of decentralized and centralized market settings in terms of economic efficiencies, particularly price signals, and operating aspects. The decentralized dispatch consists of an energy auction separated from a contingency ...
