Abstract

RustChain is the first operational blockchain to enforce Satoshi Nakamoto's one-CPU-one-vote principle through Proof of Antiquity (PoA) - a hardware-attestation consensus mechanism. Live production network: 11 miners across 5 architectures (PowerPC G4, G5, IBM POWER8, Apple M2, x86-64), 71 epochs, 100% VM rejection rate, 6-layer entropy fingerprinting.

Fields of Study & Subjects

Blockchain Technology Applications and Security Security and Verification in Computing Distributed systems and fault tolerance
