Technology of Smoke.network (part 1)
Delegated Proof of Stake Consensus Model
Smoke.Network operates on a standalone Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS)
blockchain based on a fork of the latest version of the open source Steem
software. Invented by Dan Larimer, the hugely successful founder of both
Bitshares and the upcoming EOS platform, DPoS has a number of distinct
advantages over competing consensus models such as Proof of Work (PoW)
employed by market leaders such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. Bitcoin miners
running its PoW algorithm use massive amounts of electricity [NYTIMES 2018]
and build large infrastructure to supply the proof of work needed to claim new
Bitcoins. This work is largely going to waste.
DPoS provides a combination of speed and scalability that current PoW chains
such as Ethereum lack without the large environmental impact and high
computing costs. We believe this technology, already implemented successfully
on Bitshares and Steem, and in the upcoming launch of the new EOS platform,
will provide our users with the fastest and most robust blockchain possible for
their needs.
We will be building on top of trusted technology already powering popular sites
such as Steem and Bitshares which currently handle hundreds of transactions
every second and serve millions of users every month. In comparison, Bitcoin
and Ethereum can both only handle less than 10 transactions per second due to
the additional computing requirements imposed by PoW
