Course Details
• Introduction to Blockchain Consensus Mechanisms: Understanding the role of consensus mechanisms in blockchain and the need for advanced consensus mechanisms for greater trust and security.
• Proof of Work (PoW): In-depth study of the original consensus mechanism, its strengths, weaknesses, and environmental impact.
• Proof of Stake (PoS): Analysis of the consensus mechanism that relies on the economic stake of participants, its variations, and benefits over PoW.
• Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS): Examination of the consensus mechanism that introduces delegates to represent token holders and its implications for scalability.
• Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT): Study of BFT algorithms, their use in consensus mechanisms, and their importance in achieving trust.
• Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (PBFT): Deep dive into the classic BFT algorithm, its implementation, and limitations.
• Hybrid Consensus Mechanisms: Exploration of consensus mechanisms that combine different approaches for increased security and performance.
• Scalability in Blockchain Consensus Mechanisms: Investigation of the challenges and solutions for increasing the throughput and reducing the latency of consensus mechanisms.
• Security in Blockchain Consensus Mechanisms: Analysis of the security threats and countermeasures in consensus mechanisms to maintain trust.
