  2. Proof of stake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_of_stake

    Proof of stake delegated systems use a two-stage process: first, [16] the stakeholders elect a validation committee, [17] a.k.a. witnesses, by voting proportionally to their stakes, then the witnesses take turns in a round-robin fashion to propose new blocks that are then voted upon by the witnesses, usually in the BFT-like fashion. Since there ...

  3. Decentralized application - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decentralized_application

    Proof-of-work utilises computational power to establish consensus through the process of mining. [8] Bitcoin uses the proof-of-work mechanism. [ 8 ] Proof-of-stake is a consensus mechanism that supports DApps through validators that secure the network by having a stake and percent ownership over the application.

    Proof-of-stake is a method of maintaining integrity in a blockchain, ensuring users of a cryptocurrency can’t mint coins they didn’t earn.

  5. Proof of work - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_of_work

    Proof of work (PoW) is a form of cryptographic proof in which one party (the prover) proves to others (the verifiers) that a certain amount of a specific computational effort has been expended. [1] Verifiers can subsequently confirm this expenditure with minimal effort on their part.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptocurrency

    The most widely used proof-of-work schemes are based on SHA-256 and scrypt. [18] Some other hashing algorithms that are used for proof-of-work include CryptoNote, Blake, SHA-3, and X11. Another method is called the proof-of-stake scheme. Proof-of-stake is a method of securing a cryptocurrency network and achieving distributed consensus through ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peercoin

    Peercoin, also known as Peer-to-Peer Coin, PP Coin, or PPC, is a cryptocurrency utilizing both proof-of-stake and proof-of-work systems. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is notable as the first cryptocurrency to implement the proof-of-stake consensus mechanism .

  8. Verification and validation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verification_and_validation

    Verification is intended to check that a product, service, or system meets a set of design specifications. [6] [7] In the development phase, verification procedures involve performing special tests to model or simulate a portion, or the entirety, of a product, service, or system, then performing a review or analysis of the modeling results.
