Types of Blockchain Consensus Algorithms



In the field of computer science , to solve the consensus problems there are several proposed protocols which are termed as consensus algorithms . Consensus Algorithms are mechanisms  used to achieve agreement on a single data value over distributed systems. 

 To know more about consensus algorithms ,read this blog : Blockchain Consensus Algorithms 

 Now , let us have look at the different types of consensus algorithms derived so for in blockchain and cryptocurrency world .

 The following are the various consensus algorithms in blockchain technology :

 1.Proof-of-Work
2.Proof-of-Stake
3.Delegated Proof-of-Stake
4.Leased Proof-Of-Stake
5.Proof of Elapsed Time
6.Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance
7.Simplified Byzantine Fault Tolerance
8.Delegated Byzantine Fault Tolerance
9.Directed Acyclic Graphs
10.Proof-of-Activity
11.Proof-of-Importance
12.Proof-of-Capacity
13.Proof-of-Burn
14.Proof-of-Weight

 Proof-Of-Work ( PoW ) 

 A Proof-of-Work is a measure of  DoS attack and other service abuses which includes spam on a network by requiring some work from the service requester. It most involves a lot of computational power .Proof-of-work- allows,solving of computationally intensive puzzles to validate transactions and create new blocks.

 Proof-Of-Stake ( PoS)

 Proof of Stake chooses the miners of the next block or individual who validate next transaction by their coin possession. This consensus algorithm introduced for dealing with the difficulties by PoW and aims for distributed consensus.

 Delegated Proof-Of-Stake ( DPoS )

 Delegated Proof of Stake is a variation of the proof of stake. Here, the miners or Validators, are known as delegates. Determination of block production, makes this system transaction within just a second. DPos system was designed to ensure all level of protection against regulatory issues.

Popular Programming Languages for the Development of DApp

Image
Here let us look at some of the programming languages that are used commonly to build dapps on various blockchain platforms. 1. Solidity Solidity is the most popular and standard programming language for developing dapps on the Ethereum Blockchain network. Above its popularity, there are occurs many issues while designing with this language. To program smart contracts that are many new languages are in development which can overcome the use of Solidity . 2. Vyper Vyper is a much simpler language when compared to solidity. This experimental language increases security,  auditability  and simplicity by making the programming code as easy for readability. Vyper is most limited, that is many features such as  inline assembly, operator overloading, modifiers, class inheritance, binary fixed point,  recursive calling and  infinite-length loops which are supported by solidity is not supported by Vyper. 3. Simplicity One of the potential language fo...

“ The secret of change is to focus all your energy not on fighting the old but on building the new .” — Socrates, father of Western philosophy . Of course . Focusing  on the new innovations to make an effective change is better than sitting back and solving the issues in old systems.  It has paved a good results in many incidents and industries .  Blockchain technology is also moving ahead with new innovations to make it more efficient and effective .  This resulted in the birth of DApps, DApps on ethereum , DApps on EOS platform and now DApps in TRON network too . I think TRON is not an unfamiliar word for all of us who are updating ourselves with new innovations in crypto world. Right ? TRON is a blockchain network launched for the establishment of a truly decentralized Internet and its infrastructure by a Chinese entrepreneur Justin Sun . Gather a lot more information about TRON and TRX from our previous article : What is TRON? and How To Build ...
