In DPoS, token holders vote for a select number of delegates who validate transactions and produce blocks. This streamlined approach enhances scalability and efficiency, balancing decentralization and speed!
Daniel Larimer, a prominent figure in the blockchain community, formally introduced the concept of DPoS. Larimer proposed DPoS as a more efficient and scalable consensus mechanism.
BitShares: The first implementation
In 2014, Daniel Larimer implemented DPoS in BitShares, a decentralized exchange and financial platform. BitShares was one of the first projects to employ DPoS in a real-world blockchain application. Daniel Larimer went on to implement DPoS in Steemit, a social media platform, and later in EOS (Enterprise Operating System), a blockchain platform designed for decentralized applications (DApps). EOS, in particular, gained significant attention for its DPoS-based consensus model.
Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) offers several advantages that contribute to its popularity as a consensus mechanism in blockchain networks:
Efficiency and scalability
DPoS streamlines the block validation process, leading to faster transaction confirmation times and higher throughput than Proof-of-Work (PoW) systems. The limited number of elected delegates enhances the scalability of the network.
Reduced energy consumption
Unlike PoW, which involves energy-intensive mining processes, DPoS significantly reduces the environmental impact by eliminating the need for extensive computational power.
Democratic governance
DPoS allows token holders to participate in the selection of delegates through voting actively. This democratic governance model aims to strike a balance between decentralization and efficiency.
Decentralization with controlled nodes
While DPoS reduces the number of validating nodes compared to other consensus mechanisms, it maintains decentralization by allowing token holders to choose delegates. Controlled participation ensures a more predictable and manageable network.
Improved security
DPoS enhances security by limiting the number of validating nodes and rotating delegates through voting. Regular rotation of delegates prevents the concentration of power and mitigates the risk of collusion or malicious behavior.
Incentivization for network participants
Elected delegates are incentivized to act honestly and efficiently through rewards. This incentive structure encourages a competitive and reliable network.
Transaction finality
DPoS provides faster transaction finality, meaning that once a block is added to the blockchain, the probability of it being reversed is extremely low. This feature is particularly beneficial for applications requiring quick and irreversible transactions.
Adaptability and upgrades
DPoS allows for easier upgrades and adjustments to the consensus mechanism without requiring a hard fork. This adaptability facilitates the evolution of the blockchain network in response to changing requirements or improvements.
Community engagement
Token holders are actively engaged in the governance of the network, fostering a sense of community and shared responsibility. The voting process encourages ongoing participation and alignment of interests between the community and the blockchain's success.
Predictable block production
DPoS introduces a more predictable schedule for block production, aiding developers and users in anticipating when transactions will be confirmed.
Delegated Proof of Stake's combination of efficiency and scalability makes it an attractive choice for blockchain projects that balance performance with decentralization.
Mine EBTC by depositing BNB. Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS), an evolved version of Proof of Stake.
Deposit a minimum of 0.1 Binance to become a Validator. Mining speed is proportional to the number of authorized shares.
DPoS helps ensure honesty and fairness & guarantees value for each EBTC mined. Therefore you cannot cancel the deposit.
Network Difficulty: ≈ 2000 x Your hash rate
Your hash rate: Your voting BNB amount
The initial mining reward has an extremely complex formula involving the total mining supply, the total amount of BNB staked by validators, and the current value of the BNB coin. Tested and audited formula ensures operational integrity of the protocol.
The mapping on the interface can be easily explained as follows: ((( Total BNB booked x PRICE_RATIO) / Total amount of untapped EBTC)) x PRICE_DIVIDER ))) .
The mapping is as follows: Network Difficulty x Your hash rate. Network Difficulty will decrease by 0.4761904761904762% for every 1,000,000 EBTC mined. Network Difficulty will also increase when validators sell their EBTC holdings.
Sublease EBTC mining power by locking EBTC. Get share rewards 219% per year, 0.6% per day, 0.025% per hour.
Unlimited number of locks. Unlimited number of times to receive rewards.
You can withdraw the lock property after 7 days. Profit remains active until you withdraw the locked property.
EBTC lock Network Hash Rate will fluctuate in a less complex formula proportional to the total untapped supply. The fluctuations range from 0.025% per hour to 0.0001% per hour. The progress will return to 0% if the total supply has been fully exploited.
