The Bitcoin Backbone Protocol: Analysis and Applications
[chapter]
2015
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
In this work, we extract and analyze the core of the Bitcoin protocol, which we term the Bitcoin backbone, and prove two of its fundamental properties which we call common prefix and chain quality in the ...
Next, we propose and analyze applications that can be built "on top" of the backbone protocol, specifically focusing on Byzantine agreement (BA) and on the notion of a public transaction ledger. ...
In our analysis of the Bitcoin backbone protocol we formalize and prove two fundamental properties it possesses. ...
