P2P Privacy §
Research §
- Currently in the process of researching a couple of potential designs for pay-per-mix, starting from a form of non-interactive and off-chain rate limiting, then trying to construct a form of payment on top of that. These are considered without compromising the privacy properties of the Nomos Mix. The first version can be seen in this document (WIP).
- Considered the latency of a broadcast in the high connectivity regime of communication networks. In this regime, a node is connected to a fraction of all nodes in the network. Assumed that a message delay is governed by a Geometric distribution with parameter q, i.e., a message is removed from the out-queue with probability q, and a constant delay in communication links. For this model of delays, the latency of broadcast, computed numerically, converges to 2 units of time as the number of nodes, N, in the network grows. However, the distribution of delays can be very broad for a small q (and small N), suggesting that in a high connectivity regime to have q≥12q \geq \frac{1}{2}q≥21 is more desirable. This work is summarized in this document.

PPoS/Consensus §
Research §
- PR #114 (Nomos-specs) - included the PoL using (using the randomness of the last PoL for the slot) in the code spec.
- Concluded the development required to run selfish behavior simulations. Also ran a few simulations to observe the occurrence of classes of validators, occurrence of blocks, and forks. Based on that, included a few more paragraphs in the Selfish Behavior section and created the PoS model.
