2 of two scorched earth |
A decentralized system for peer-to-peer content material suggestion using a “Two Of Two Scorched Earth” reward/punishment scheme proposed by Vitalik Buterin to incentivize high quality content material sharing. The aim of the undertaking is to ship a proof-of-concept implementation on mainnet to display the usefulness of this scheme for quite a lot of functions. |

VDF Continuation Funding |
Analysis led by famend complexity theorist Ryan Williams into the sequentiality assumption of RSA-based VDFs, i.e. looking for a greater understanding the “delay” a part of VDFs (verifiable delay capabilities), that are the premise for unbiasable randomness in Eth2. The work funded by this grant is particularly geared toward proving information-theoretic decrease bounds for modular exponentiations. |
