Secure Proof of Stake - Making PoS secure and compelling

Elrond has proposed a novel approach to consensus called “Secure Proof of Stake” combining eligibility through stake and rating, random validator selection and an optimal dimension for the consensus group.

The consensus protocol starts by randomly sampling a smaller consensus group out of all eligible validators in the shard (for reduced communication) using a randomness source derived from the previous block’s signature. The randomness source is unpredictable before the signing of the previous block. The sampling is deterministic, meaning that every node can compute the list of validators in the consensus group and the first node to be selected is the block proposer.

The block proposer aggregates transactions into a new block and sends this block to the validators in the consensus group for verification. Each validator will verify the validity of the block, process the transactions and if everything checks out will participate in the pBFT consensus. The voting in the pBFT is done for every validator by sending a signature for a multisignature scheme. If the proposer collects more than 2/3 + 1 signatures from the consensus group members, the block is considered validated, the aggregated signature can be added to the block and the block disseminated in the entire shard. The next consensus group will be randomly sampled using the new signature.

A scalable value transfer protocol for the digital economy .


Elrond is a complete rethinking of public blockchain infrastructure, specifically designed to be secure, efficient, scalable and interoperable. Elrond’s main contribution rests on two cornerstone building blocks: 1) A genuine Adaptive State Sharding approach: effectively partitioning the chain state into multiple shards, handled in parallel by different participating validators; 2) Secure Proof of Stake consensus mechanism: an improved variation of Proof of Stake (PoS) that ensures long term security and distributed fairness, while eliminating the need for energy intensive PoW algorithms.

Adaptive State Sharding – Elrond proposes a dynamically adaptive sharding mechanism that enables shard computation and reorganizing based on necessity and the number of active network nodes. The reassignment of nodes in the shards at the beginning of each epoch is progressive and nondeterministic, inducing no temporary liveness penalties. Adaptive state sharding comes with additional challenges compared to the static model. One of the key-points resides in how shard-splitting and shard-merging is done to prevent overall latency penalties.


Elrond is based on a highly scalable distributed ledger and as more and more nodes join the network there will be an increase in the overall output of the blockchain. There is a highly efficient team behind the Elrond network. The main idea is to improve the sharding process efficiency by introducing more regular clients into the network which will invariably reduce the overall cost with time.

The AI-based protocol will detect security issues quickly and efficiently. The network also ensures full privacy of its clients at all levels. Elrond is the first public blockchain network based on Secure Proof of Stake consensus mechanism that also ensures a secure and fair distribution of nodes in the system.

What Could "Sharding" Mean For Enterprise Blockchain Adoption?

We’ve just been featured in @Forbes . Read about the impact of sharding in enterprise blockchain adoption:

“Sharding is complicated, but it provides the type of throughput capacity improvement that enables public blockchains to rival networks like VISA. Some of its challenges, though, include single-shard takeovers, cross-shard communication and data validity."

Elrond has a live testnet for a model known as 'state sharding', combined with a secure PoS consensus.

TEAM & ADVISORS

Beniamin Mincu (CEO) was a core team member in NEM (MarketCap ~$650,000,000) for 1.5 years. He is in the industry since 2014 invested and supported near 30 blockchain projects including Zilliqa, Matrix, ICON, etc.

Lucian Todea (COO) has enough experience working with more than 17 years in Soft32.com (Lucian is a Founder and CEO),  an online software platform that facilitates the distribution and sales of apps for Windows, Mac, and Mobile. He is a technology executive with significant operational, business development, general management, leadership, and international experience.

Lucian Mincu (CIO) has solid experience as an infrastructure engineer. He is a  co-founder at Metachain Capital (a digital asset investment fund focused on supporting some of the most ambitious teams and ingenious technologies in the blockchain space) and ICO Market Data (platform featuring the ICO tools). He has more than 8 years of experience,  spanning from developing end-to-end startup products to designing and implementing highly technical yet comprehensive infrastructure and network solutions for large enterprise clients.

Felix Crisan  (HEAD OF RESEARCH) – Felix has been in the cryptocurrency space since 2012, he is a Bitcoin Lightning contributor. Felix co-founded BTKO, Romania’s first Bitcoin exchange platform. Felix is currently the Co-founder and CTO of Netopia where he implemented market-leading solutions for online and mobile payments.


The team consists of 18 persons with enough experience to develop and deliver the product. The previous workplaces of the team include such companies: NEM, IBM, Microsoft, Intel, Google and much more. Overall, we have a good mix of Ph.D.`s and Ph.D. students from Lucian Blaga University with blockchain pioneers. Our experience tells that it is the best format since the team is strong in both research and industry biz dev fields.

The Advisory board consists of 7 highly-experienced specialists both in development and business fields.  It’s worth to mention that Elrond has Fabio C. Canesin and Ethan Fast, from well-known Nash (NEX) project, as technical advisors.

Also, worth noticing notable figures such as Raul Jordan who is Co-Leading Prysmatic Labs, the first Sharding implementation for the Ethereum Protocol and Grigore Rosu who invented K framework a universal framework for language-independent machine executable semantics.


PARTNERSHIPS

Elrond Network has already announced a notable partnership with Nash (NEX). Elrond and Nash aim to jointly explore the potential integration of Elrond blockchain platform and Elrond tokens (ERD) into the Nash payment platform. It will allow Nash users to trade and acquire ERD tokens across different platforms. Additionally. Elrond and Nash aim to join efforts to further develop and research interoperability as one of the main connecting bridges for the ecosystem.

Elrond Network partnered with Netopia Payments, the biggest electronic payment processor in Romania. The main purpose of this partnership is to jointly explore the potential of integration Elrond’s blockchain and ERD tokens into the Netopia payment system. It will allow 6,000+ merchants who are using the Netopia solutions to be able to accept ERD cryptocurrency without any development or operational costs on their part.

Elrond Network is cooperating with Distributed Systems Research Laboratory for R&D in practical applicability of blockchain technology in the energy field and other use case scenarios.

The team promises to announce more solid partnerships in the nearest time.

TOKENOMICS AND TOKEN SALE

Total amount of tokens: 20,000,000,000 ERD
Tokens for sale: 8,000,000,000 ERD (40%)
Total hardcap: $4,750,000

Private-seed round bonus in tokens: 30%
Amount of tokens for Private-seed round: 3,000,000,000 ERD (15%)
Private-seed round tokens have a release schedule of 10% at TGE, the rest of the amount will be vested by 3 equal tranches of 30% in 3,6 and 9 months after TGE

Private-seed round hardcap: $1,500,000
Amount of tokens for Public sale round: 5,000,000,000 ERD (25%)
Public sale round hardcap: $3,250,000

As per CryptoCallibur

There is no much info about the public sale metrics available due to the process of obtaining a license that will enable the company to issue the Elrond token, list on exchanges, and publicly raise funds through an ICO. But according to the stated above information, we can conclude that the tokenomics will be reasonable. The hardcap for the project is low and vesting structure for private-seed participants includes anti-dump mechanism.

Elrond token, ERD, is a utility token that will be used as:
-a unit of payment and settlement between participants in the Elrond Network
-a unit of staking to validate transactions by masternodes

VERDICT: 8.5 out of 10
We definitely bet on Elrond to be one of the most interesting projects this season. The team despite not consisting of c-level executives from international corporations, has something that is much more important: “blockchain industry expertise”. These people are real, they work every day together in the office and they are doing it for a bigger amount of time than some of the already tradable projects that have not delivered anything despite raising millions. Elrond did not open any funding rounds until they had concept validated and tested which one and a half year of self-funded development. This has been said, we are excited for the future updates of Elrond, our rating will be reviewed closer to the mainnet launch and public sale.

Elrond Network Review: part 1 :  
(by Midgard Research)




PROBLEM & SOLUTION

Elrond is creating a highly Scalable Public Blockchain with Adaptive State Sharding and Secure Proof of Stake

Let’s debunk what is Elrond and how it aims to get adoption.

In general, there are several ways in which blockchain and cryptocurrency developers are trying to improve transaction speed in the blockchain, and sharding is one such method. Sharding is a scaling technique inspired by traditional concepts of database optimization. Sharding divides the data into several pieces placed on different environments to be processed.

In general, the more validators and shards, the more transactions the network can process. Elrond introduces a novel state sharding scheme, called Adaptive State Sharding, with a dynamic model that allows the network to adapt to population and demand changes without compromising security, availability and decentralization.

Such architecture enables linear scalability, meaning that scalability of the network is designed to grow with the number of shards(and nodes) in the network.

The obvious questions are: What are all these features about? How one can use Elrond?  

Elrond team has an answer to these questions, unlike a lot of other projects that propose outstanding (on paper) “public-good” alike solutions, that will eventually die missing use cases.

Out of multiple theoretical use cases, we would like to choose three that will be applied to practice right after the mainnet launch.

Decentralized exchanges: DEX is the most obvious use case for high throughput blockchain since it needs to be faster and more secure than centralized competitors.

Payments: Elrond has the Netopia payments partnership, Netopia has around 400M in annual turnover and 6000+ merchants. Just imagine, the number of transactions that payment processor like Netopia needs to handle every day, even every hour.

Team also recently mentioned that they are in talks regarding the partnership with a second payment processor from Switzerland.

Peer to Peer Smart grids solution: Elrond working with Distributed System Research Laboratory on this.



MVP

Elrond team has already showcased its prototype and opened their GitHub in November (the prototype was actually finished in July 2018), but because of serious limitations of Java team has made a decision to re-write everything from scratch in GO for the testnet. Testnet is yet to be open to the public, the team states that they have achieved a 30x performance improvement. As per words of Elrond`s team, their goal is to make such user interface that the average user will be able to set up a node in a few clicks. What we want to highlight here is that the whole development was self-funded by the team for more than one and a half years.  They literally did not open any funding rounds until they had concept validated and tested.

PEER ANALYSIS

The market for new scalable and secure blockchain infrastructures is saturated with different solutions but Elrond`s team is prepared to compete in the race. Let`s take a closer on what Elrond brings to the table and how their solution differs from others.

Zilliqa (MarketCap ~ $180M) is a public blockchain platform that implemented sharding and achieved a throughput of 2828 transactions per second in its test net.

Key differences:

    + Zilliqa still uses PoW in order to prevent Sybil attacks, while Elrond uses PoS, a much more energy efficient way to prevent Sybil attacks.
    + Zilliqa stores all the Smart Contracts in a single shard, while Elrond will distribute Smart Contracts among all shards in order to be able to parallelize Smart Contract execution.
    + Zilliqa tries to solve scalability by addressing half of the problem, and that is by doing network and transaction sharding – so they bring some of the solution and they can process about 2500 TPS (2828 TPS with 3600 nodes). They do not solve the hardest of the problem which is state sharding.
Algorand (Total Funding Amount $66M) – Algorand’s first-of-its-kind, permissionless, pure proof-of-stake protocol supports the scale, open participation, and transaction finality required to build systems for billions of users.

Key differences:

    + In Elrond the selection is based on a randomness source that is easy to verify, but made available only at the beginning of the round to all members. (takes ~4 seconds)
In Algorand selection can take much longer (up to 12 seconds) due to how VRFs work (you might end up with multiple leaders, or none at all, depending on the threshold set)
    + Scalability is higher in Elrond as throughput can increase with the number of shards. In Algorand it can only decrease with usage, as it will first reach storage and communication limitations.
Ethereum Serenity (2.0)  (MarketCap ~ $17,5B) – Serenity -The Vision of Ethereum 2.0

Key differences:

    + In Serenity forks are likely to happen in the shard chains, while in the beacon chain the blocks are finalized with a high probability (for finality there is still a dependency on the PoW blocks referenced by the beacon blocks)
Elrond uses a pBFT like consensus. The pBFT is done on a randomly sampled consensus group smaller than the size of the shard.
    + Serenity is still using the PoW chain, where the registration smart contract resides, meaning that even though it implements also PoS chains, as a whole it is still wasting energy for the time being. Elrond is fully PoS so energy efficient.
    + Some parts of Serenity sharding model are similar with Elrond’s proposal. In Elrond there is one shard maintaining the notarization of block hashes from all shards, which looks similar to what the cross-links are doing. In Serenity right now there is no clear incentive to run a beacon node, also beacon nodes have much higher requirements so it might be possible that running a beacon node may not be very attractive for users.
Multivac (raised $18,6M) – a high-throughput and flexible blockchain platform based on trusted sharding computing.

Key differences:

    + Multivac employs a UTXO model, while Elrond uses an account model, this could be the biggest difference. The first method is called the UTXO (Unspent Transaction Output) Model and the second one is the Account/Balance Model. The UTXO model is employed by Bitcoin, and Ethereum uses the Account/Balance Model.
    + Multivac’s design is required to broadcast all shard headers to all shards, whereas Elrond has the metachain shard aggregating this information and broadcasting only the aggregation, which leads to less communication.
    + For consensus group sampling Multivac employs VRFs, which would lead to slower consensus, because forming the groups will be harder.



ROADMAP

Elrond Network, as a blockchain project, began in October 2017 with the early hypothesis validation. Since that time the team has done a lot:

-Developed prototypes of the node, wallet, core structure of the blockchain;

–Expanded its community by participating in meetups, conferences and entered into partnerships with merchants to accept Elrond token through payments;

-Updated technical whitepaper and released an open-source prototype.

ALREADY REACHED MILESTONES


The roadmap for 2019 is divided into 4 phases:

-Inception
-Fundamentals
-Launch
-Expansion

The roadmap on the 2019 year is designed pretty well. It starts from the Private Testnet launch with sPoS and Sharding and finishes with MainNet consolidation with a real-world integration. During this time the project will develop its products: mobile wallet, dApp store, API+SDK and much more. More detailed roadmap:

Elrond — Research Report
by: https://www.dbcrypto.io
https://medium.com/@dbcryptoteam/elrond-research-report-eb885cd80d8e

In summary

The team at Elrond began their research in Q4 2017, with the first iteration of their whitepaper released in May 2018.

We want to again make mention of the fact that this team did not open any funding rounds until they had a working prototype.

There is a wealth of technical information available on their website to deeply explain the technology and the methodology behind it.

This is a team focused on building a robust and highly-capable solution, taking into consideration what is lacking and what is needed for public blockchains to succeed and achieve large scale adoption.

Their blockchain will be fast, secure and efficient by design.

Overall, we like the technology that Elrond are bringing to the table. We have seen promising blockchain projects be successful in the past, and as such this is an intensely competitive area with many startups seeking the lion’s share of this space.

With the technology in motion, the next challenge is usage and adoption.

Elrond — Research Report
by: dbcrypto
- https://www.dbcrypto.io

In this report we will unpack the Elrond startup. You may not have heard of Elrond, as this project has spent several years focusing purely on building their technology. The team did not open any fundraising efforts until they had a working prototype — something we don’t see often.

Elrond are building a new public blockchain to address scalability, throughput and cost whilst maintaining sufficient security and decentralization. As is the case with many projects building new blockchains along with novel consensus techniques, it is easy to get lost in the detail of Elrond’s whitepaper.

With that in mind, this post will try to keep everything high-level and easy to understand.

As mentioned, Elrond are a blockchain project. We have heard many times about the drawbacks and intrinsic limitations that Bitcoin, Ethereum and others have, in lacklustre transactions-per-second (TPS) numbers and high latency. Elrond are another blockchain project designed to address these core issues with currently popular blockchains.

The two key innovations of this project are the ‘Adaptive State Sharding’ approach and ‘Secure Proof of Stake’ (SPoS) consensus mechanism.

Elrond Initiates Cooperation With SmartBill — a leading software-as-a-service provider for invoicing, inventory management and accounting


St. Julian's, Malta and Bucharest & Sibiu, RO — 6h June, 2019 — Elrond, the technology company developing a scalable and more efficient blockchain platform, is proud to announce a cooperation agreement with SmartBill — a leading software-as-a-service provider for invoicing, inventory management and accounting.

SmartBill is an established FinTech company providing SaaS-based services to small, and medium-sized businesses for invoicing, accounting and inventory management. Its invoicing and accounting SaaS platform is counting more than 60 000 clients, 2 Million invoices issued each month with a total value exceeding $350 Million each month.

Elrond and SmartBill, aim to jointly explore the potential integration of the two platforms to provide to their users and clients blockchain based features, like trust, transparency or traceability.

Furthermore, Elrond and Smartbill are also expressing their interest in exploring other, but not limited to, potential use cases, related to blockchain technologies like inventory and supply chain tracking capabilities, and alternative payment solutions.

Declarations:
“We are very enthusiastic and driven by the desire to offer the most intuitive invoicing and accounting products to our clients.” says Radu Hasan, CEO of Smartbill. “We truly believe we can take things to a whole new level and offer new features and options that were not possible until blockchain technology was born. We believe through this partnership with Elrond we can achieve that.”
“Elrond brings a radical improvement to the blockchain space, adding the much needed performance for real world usage. We believe small and mid-sized businesses will soon be able to integrate Elrond’s technology and reap the benefits of increased transparency, minimized costs and built-in trust between different parties and companies. We are happy to have Smartbill as partners.” says Beniamin Mincu, CEO of Elrond.
About Elrond

Elrond is a new blockchain architecture, designed from scratch to bring a 1000-fold cumulative improvement in throughput, execution speed and transaction cost. To achieve this Elrond introduces a novel Adaptive State Sharding mechanism, enabling linear scalability, and Proof of Stake (PoS), a novel and more efficient consensus mechanism proposed as an alternative to the intensive energy and computational use in Proof of Work consensus mechanisms.
