Consensus Mechanism

Proverium employs a novel consensus mechanism called Proof of Compute (PoC), a probabilistic, Byzantine fault-tolerant protocol.

  • Epoch-based: The blockchain operates in epochs.

  • Leader Election: For each epoch, provers compete to solve a cryptographic puzzle. The fastest provers form a committee.

  • Block Proposal: This committee is then responsible for proposing blocks within that epoch using a built-in Proof-of-Stake (PoS) mechanism (via Cosmos SDK), where stake is limited to committee members. PoC balances efficiency, fairness, and decentralization.
