1. Improved Proof-of-Stake (PoS) Consensus
The multiverse ecosystem public chain optimizes the PoS consensus mechanism by integrating the Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) protocol, ensuring both efficiency and security of consensus. By randomly selecting validation nodes and dynamically adjusting validation rules, the PoS mechanism maintains decentralization while significantly improving transaction confirmation speed and system fault tolerance.
- Dynamic Staking and Voting Mechanism: Dynamically adjusts the voting weight of nodes based on their staked amount, activity level, and historical performance, incentivizing more nodes to participate in consensus.
- BFT-Enhanced Mechanism: The combination of BFT and PoS enables the consensus to resist malicious nodes while maintaining high efficiency, enhancing the network’s fault tolerance and security.
2. Intra-shard and Cross-shard Consensus
- Intra-shard Consensus: Each shard independently performs PoS consensus to quickly reach agreement, reducing time consumption in the verification process. This avoids latency caused by network-wide consistency and accelerates transaction confirmation.
- Cross-shard Consensus: Ensures data consistency and transaction interoperability across different shards through cross-shard protocols. A relay chain coordinates the consensus results of each shard to maintain data consistency and network-wide security across the entire system.
3. Smart Contract Security Mechanisms
- Formal Verification: IST employs formal verification tools to conduct security checks on smart contracts, ensuring the correctness and security of contract logic.
- Multi-signature Contracts and Time Locks: Enhances contract operation security through multi-signature contracts and time lock mechanisms, preventing malicious operations.
