Consensus
Disarray leverages a multi-resource consensus engine enabling the system to accept blocks generated from valid stakers as well as miners.
Similar to that of the original protocol Disarray implements a derivation of the Ouroboros Praos Proof of Stake protocol. Our team settled with this decision after considering the sheer amount of peer-reviewed research placed into the family. Additionally, the protocol has served many up-and-coming ventures well while addressing critical time-related technical challenges facing the development of the platform.
The other half of the hybrid network is composed of nodes operating under proof-of-work circumstances, which formally implement the Ofelimos protocol. Ofelimos specifically outlines a proof-of-useful-work optimization on the original pow mechanism powering Bitcoin. Researchers at IOHK were able to formalize a provably secure blockchain protocol describing the motivation, security, and practicality of the specification while proposing several combinatorial optimizations naturally coming about as a result its inherent construction.
