Innovations

Solana reaches high-throughput consensus by combining several interlocking subsystems. Validators organize into clusters and synchronize using Proof of History timestamps, while leader rotation designates a single validator at a time to produce ledger entries. When connectivity to a leader is lost, the cluster tolerates fork generation, and a leader assigned to a fork must see it through rather than switching forks. Turbine propagates blocks efficiently across the cluster with minimal duplicate messages, secure vote signing isolates the vote-casting logic to protect validators from having their stake slashed for forged votes, and stake delegation lets token holders share in rewards for helping secure the network.

Solana - System Architecture

A system in which those of the chain can prove that they are contributing unique resources to the chain. Though it is not a consensus model, it combines with consensus models to create a more secure network.

Proof of Replication on Solana

Solana is a decentralized, open blockchain that uses a combination of Proof-of-History and Proof-of-Stake to allow for low cost transactions. This combination also permits high speed transactions while maintaining a safe, decentralized ecosystem.

Loki Whitepaper

Loki is a cryptocurrency based off of Monero, but has improved itself to be much more secure and efficient. By using service nodes, a node reward scheme, Loki can provide economics incentives for node operators.

Binance Whitepaper

BNB was originally issued as an ERC-20 token, running on the Ethereum network, with a total supply of 200 million coins. ERC-20 BNB tokens were later swapped with BEP-2 BNB on a 1:1 ratio. The BEP-2 BNB is the native coin of the Binance Chain 100 million BNBs were offered in the ICO, but the current total supply is lower due to periodic burning events, in which Binance destroyed BNB held in its treasury.

Cardano is a public, open-source, proof-of-stake blockchain platform. It was founded in 2015 by Charles Hoskinson, one of the co-founders of Ethereum.

Ether is the native cryptocurrency used fundamentally for payment transaction fees on the Ethereum network, then after the **Merge** it's also used for validate and propose blocks on Mainnet. The pricing mechanism for Ethereum's computing power is facilitated by the ether cryptocurrency. In order for transactions to be validated on the blockchain, users are required to pay ether, known as gas fees, which depends on computing power required for running a transaction
