Altruism, reciprocity, and tokens to reward forwarding data: Is that fair?
Verónica del Carmen Estrada Galiñanes, Arman Babaei
Decentralized storage networks offer services with intriguing possibilities to reduce inequalities in an extremely centralized market. Fair distribution of rewards, however, is still a persistent problem in the current generation of decentralized applicati ...
2024Towards General-Purpose Decentralized Computing with Permissionless Extensibility
Smart contracts have emerged as the most promising foundations for applications of the blockchain technology. Even though smart contracts are expected to serve as the backbone of the next-generation web, they have several limitations that hinder their wide ...
EPFL2024Leaderless consensus
Rachid Guerraoui, Gauthier Jérôme Timothée Voron, Vincent Gramoli, Mihail Igor Zablotchi, Karolos Antoniadis, Antoine Philippe Matthieu Desjardins
Classic synchronous consensus algorithms are leaderless in that processes exchange proposals, choose the maximum value and decide when they see the same choice across a couple of rounds. Indulgent consensus algorithms are typically leader-based. Although t ...
ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE2023Revisiting Tendermint: Design Tradeoffs, Accountability, and Practical Use
Rachid Guerraoui, Jovan Komatovic, Zarko Milosevic, Dragos-Adrian Seredinschi
Tendermint is a deterministic consensus protocol and is one of the most mature implementations of its kind. This implementation is used as the core for building State Machine Replication (SMR) platforms with Byzantine fault-tolerant (BFT) guarantees. A not ...
IEEE2022Health data privacy through homomorphic encryption and distributed ledger computing: an ethical-legal qualitative expert assessment study
Background: Increasingly, hospitals and research institutes are developing technical solutions for sharing patient data in a privacy preserving manner. Two of these technical solutions are homomorphic encryption and distributed ledger technology. Homomorph ...
BMC2022Heterogeneity in decentralized asset markets
We study a canonical model of decentralized exchange for a durable good or asset, where agents are assumed to have time-varying, heterogeneous utility types. Whereas the existing literature has focused on the special case of two types, we allow agents' uti ...
ECONOMETRIC SOCIETY2022Decentralized in-order execution of a sequential task-based code for shared-memory architectures
The hardware complexity of modern machines makes the design of adequate programming models crucial for jointly ensuring performance, portability, and productivity in high-performance computing (HPC). Sequential task-based programming models paired with adv ...
