This addresses the scalability and environmental issues for cryptocurrency users and developers, representing a novel approach rather than an incremental improvement.
The paper tackles the problem of high energy consumption in cryptocurrency consensus by proposing the Decrits Consensus Algorithm, which achieves trustless decentralized agreement without proof-of-work and offers superior transaction security at virtually no cost.
Decrits is a cryptocurrency in development that makes use of a novel consensus algorithm that does not require proof-of-work. This paper describes how the Decrits Consensus Algorithm (DCA) is as trustless as a proof-of-work algorithm while offering superior transaction security at virtually no cost.
