Generic Blockchain on Generic Human Behavior
Clémentine Gritti, Frédéric Hayek, Pascal Lafourcade · 2023
Blockchain is a type of distributed ledger.A wide range of consensus algorithms exists to reach consensus in a decentralized manner.However, most of them trade energy consumption for a degree of openness.Blockchains are primarily used for tokens and cryptocurrencies.Often the process of minting new tokens depends on actionable real world behaviors.A difficulty persists in securely translating said behavior into a decentralized blockchain.We formalize the generic concept of Proof of Behavior (PoB), and use it to create a consensus mechanism for generic permissionless blockchains.
