From China to Antarctica: The Importance of Geographical Diversity in Blockchain Node Distribution

From China to Antarctica: The Importance of Geographical Diversity in Blockchain Node Distribution

Blockchain technology has revolutionized the way we transact and store data. However, there is a significant problem with the current blockchain networks: the nodes are not well distributed across the globe. This means that if there is a geopolitical or natural calamity risk, the nodes in a specific region can

Archethic Blockchain's Algo lets the Fastest Interactions between Nodes across the Globe in a Decentralized Network

The internet is moving from a centralized network towards a decentralized network, the reason being “The Decentralized Web will enable users and creators to interact and exchange value directly in a peer-to-peer fashion, removing the role of centralized platforms as middlemen that extract value from these interactions." This “Decentralized Web”

The Solution to Blockchain's (Eg: Ethereum) Painful Transition 1.0, 2.0, etc...

The Solution to Blockchain's (Eg: Ethereum) Painful Transition 1.0, 2.0, etc...

Today most of the governance mechanisms in Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc... are informal (off-chain). These governance models are designed or improved based on Satoshi Nakomoto's original whitepaper. Improvement proposals to the blockchain are initially submitted by developers and then the core group involved with the blockchain, mostly consisting of developers, are

Maintaining the Integrity of the Blockchain even with 90% Maliciousness

Maintaining the Integrity of the Blockchain even with 90% Maliciousness

Blockchains are prone to 51% and 67% attacks depending on its consensus protocol, which means if 51% of miners are malicious then the blockchain network is compromised or hacked. The same goes for 67% attack. For the case of Bitcoin, if malicious miners control 51% of computing power then, the

The First Public Biometric Identity for Universal Authentication

Biometric identity is not new to the world, the first commercial hand geometry recognition systems became available in the early 1970s, arguably the first commercially available biometric device after the early deployments of fingerprinting in the late 1960s. But until now there is no biometric solution that is for the

Archethic Network to ensure Randomness, Data Consistency and Remuneration to Storage Pool

Many P2P blockchain networks today replicate all the data (transaction data, algorithms, softwares, etc) in all the nodes of the network. Bitcoin, Ethereum and many more have achieve this exceptional feet but have sacrificed scalability & speed. However, today there are billions of transactions happening every second around the world (payments,
