Midnight is a new privacy-focused blockchain, engineered with a novel tokenomic model that uses two core assets: NIGHT and DUST. We’ll break down how these tokens function, how they interact, and how Midnight’s economics incentivize a sustainable, priv
Ouroboros Leios cannot guarantee full determinism by design. A transaction that passes local validation may still be dropped during the finalization process. This is a necessary trade-off to achieve scalability through parallelism. The system embraces prob
Despite persistent criticism regarding low on-chain activity and a perceived decline in its prominence, a closer examination of Cardano’s social metrics—drawn from recent data analysis—reveals a more complex narrative. This article explores Cardano??
Achieving high throughput in a blockchain protocol like Ouroboros Leios often comes with trade-offs, including a degree of inefficiency. One of the key compromises involves softening strict determinism—the guarantee that a valid transaction, once submitt
The UTxO model naturally supports parallel transaction processing, but Ouroboros Praos falls short of fully leveraging this advantage due to its sequential block production and the long delays between blocks.
