How to Agree: Different Types of Consensus for Blockchain

★★★★

…pBFT is able to handle less than ⅓ of Byzantine faults, this can be seen as 3f+1= Total nodes where f=amount of Byzantine faults. However, it comes with some disadvantages: Weak leadership – nodes can reject requests from the leader and propose re-election, but it requires authority services for the leader selection.Byzantine fault tolerance – 33% of the nodes can be malicious.Low network scalability – due to the high communication overhead and latency of multiple message rounds, scaling…

Introduction to Ethereum Layer-2s

★★★★

…Validium can process a high number of transactions, potentially reaching around 9,000 transactions per second (tps) or more. Sidechains, also considered by some to be Layer-2 solutions, are Ethereum-compatible independent blockchains that use their own consensus models and block parameters to process transactions. Notable examples include Polygon (formerly Matic Network) and Gnosis (previously xDAI). Benefits of Layer-2 Solutions One key benefit of Layer-2 solutions is lower transaction fees, wh…

Ethereum vs Ethereum Classic — What Is the Difference?

★★★★

…Additionally, as Ethereum Classic has the same origin as Ethereum, it also has scalability limitations: the network is able to handle only 12 to 15 transactions per second (tps), which can be a disadvantage in a market where speed and scalability are becoming increasingly important. The lack of users and developers supporting the platform can also make it difficult for the network to push for new updates and developments.  Moreover, the ecosystem for Ethereum Classic is significantly smaller an…

★★★★

…The XRP Ledger (XRPL), an open-source Layer 1 blockchain, settles transactions in 3-5 seconds, handling 1,500 transactions per second. Over the years, XRPL has evolved, introducing a decentralized exchange (DEX), NFT support, and smart contract capabilities. It also features on-chain governance where validators vote on network changes, ensuring decentralized decision-making. Despite legal challenges, XRP continues to gain adoption. Since 2020, Ripple has been in a legal dispute with the U.S. SE…

Bitcoin Payments: What Is the Lightning Network?

★★★★

…In fact, a new block gets mined in around 10 minutes (on average, at the time of writing).  Limited throughput capacity.  To compare, a major payment giant like Visa can support around 24,000 transactions per second (tps) on its network, while the Bitcoin blockchain can only handle up to 7 tps (at the time of writing). As a payment network, Bitcoin’s throughput is far too low to handle such large amounts of transactions, which can be a significant hindrance to widespread usage.  Disproporti…
