An improved PoS consensus method based on proof of usage

By quantifying on-chain behavior and using a weighted random sampling algorithm to select validators, the problem of high participation threshold and underutilization of behavioral value in blockchain consensus mechanisms is solved. This enables efficient participation by ordinary users and improves network security, thereby promoting the decentralization and enhanced security of blockchain.

AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing blockchain consensus mechanisms suffer from high barriers to entry, underutilization of behavioral value, and a disconnect between incentives and security, making it difficult for ordinary users to participate and resulting in low network decentralization and insufficient security.

Method used

It adopts an improved PoS consensus method based on proof-of-use, quantifies on-chain behavior and assigns basic weights, selects validators using a weighted random sampling algorithm, and combines a decay and accumulation mechanism of behavior points to incentivize healthy user behavior, lower the participation threshold and enhance network security.

Benefits of technology

It lowers the barrier to entry for node participation, increases network participation and decentralization, enhances blockchain security, prevents attackers from abusing assets to control the network, promotes continuous user activity, and avoids the phenomenon of "lying flat".

Abstract

This invention discloses an improved Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus method based on proof-of-use, relating to the field of blockchain technology. The method includes the following steps: pre-setting multiple quantifiable on-chain behaviors and assigning a base weight and upper limit score to each type of on-chain behavior; in a consensus cycle, performing the decay and accumulation of behavior scores, and at the end of the consensus cycle, selecting all addresses with behavior scores greater than zero as candidates for the next round of consensus; selecting validators from the candidate set using a weighted random sampling algorithm by obtaining a global seed and the weights of each candidate address; publishing and validating the validator set, using the selected validators to produce new blocks in a pre-set order, and iterating through all transactions within the new block to update scores. This invention can adjust the weight coefficients according to different application scenarios, adapting to diverse needs and easily integrating into existing blockchain systems.
