At the core of these systems lie distributed algorithms, which not only coordinate resource management and data replication but also enable consensus, fault tolerance and dynamic scalability.

The Obelisk consensus algorithm uses different network nodes for consensus and block creation. Learn more about it and how it works.

Computer scientists have developed an algorithm that improves the speed at which nodes within a multi-agent system converge on consensus without compromising energy consumption, a development with ...

Traditional consensus algorithms are susceptible to attacks and delays in large-scale networks and malicious node environments, and the security and performance of blockchain systems can be improved ...

Blockchain and distributed ledgers are not quite the same thing. Learn how they are importantly different, and how they work together for data storage.

The distributed nature of the genetic algorithm is suitable for the distributed node structure of the blockchain and can provide optimal solutions.

The hybrid consensus algorithm, which combines machine learning with the decentralizednature of the blockchain, is not only capable of self-learning and evolution to adapt to the ever-changing ...

Successive versions of MongoDB showed improvements in the consensus algorithm. With version 3.6, MongoDB was able to pass the Jepsen test—the premier test suite for distributed system consistency.

A Hong Kong-based Matrix AI Network is developing a prototype of a new hybrid PoS/PoW consensus algorithm. This update was shared with Cointelegraph by Owen Tao, the company’s CEO.
