“Beyond Blockchain: Convergent Consensus“ by Mike Anderson (Strange Loop 2022)
Despite considerable hype over recent years, blockchain technology has often failed to live up to the promise of providing cheap, accessible, high performance decentralised computing.
We can do much better: A novel approach to consensus inspired by CRDTs and category theory can make decentralised computation efficient and scalable. Immutable persistent data structures and digital signatures help keep everything secure.
In this talk we explore the Convergent Proof of Stake consensus algorithm and demonstrate how it can be used to implement efficient real-time decentralised computation using Convex Lisp, a functional language inspired by Clojure and the lambda calculus.
