NomosDA Commitment Schemes for Data Availability Polynomial commitment schemes play a vital role in the DA process by allowing a prover to commit to a polynomial and later provide proofs that specific evaluations of that polynomial are correct.
Consensus Preventing Wealth Concentration in PoS Systems: The Role of Stake Relativisation The recent transition of DarkFi from the PoS-based Ouroboros Crypsinous protocol due to wealth concentration findings motivated us to investigate the matter. We found that wealth concentration does not emerge from a PoS system driven by Crypsinous leader election function if certain conditions are met. In our previous article, we
