In our previous review, we made a detailed overview of Telegram Open Network and the specific features in the operation of key nodes (validators) of TON Blockchain. In this article, we will elaborate on one of the key aspects affecting the security and correct operation of the TON blockchain – a protocol allowing to achieve consensus between the network validators that are thoroughly described in the recently released document authored by Nikolay Durov. Catchain Consensus: An Outline The initial name of the protocol during the first stage of research and development was Catch-chain (a trap blockchain) because essentially it is a separate blockchain for the prevention of malicious events impeding consensus achievement on the main TON blockchain. Later on, its name was shortened to Catchain. The consensus algorithm of TON is described as tolerant towards system breaches connected with the so-called Byzantine fault. Byzantine Fault Tolerance is a popular buzzword nowadays and it’s important to clarify here what it means. All distributed ledgers are built to manage a system, and the problem with Byzantine generals formulated by Leslie Lamport, a computer scientist, actually predates cryptocurrency. Imagine several separated Byzantine generals in the middle of the war. They can send messages to each other but they are still not on the same page with how the war will go on and so they vote. A manipulative person with a decisive vote can send a vote for the attack to some generals and a vote for retreat — to others. Naturally, this only an example but one can imagine the very same problem occurring in the first-gen blockchains. A truly Byzantine Fault-tolerant blockchain is the one where new blocks (and therefore new actions) are made only after total verified consensus. This consensus prevents the creation of new similar blockchains. There is a type of blockchains where this is not the case with Bitcoin Cash as perhaps the most notable result. The new blockchains are usually built with Byzantine Fault tolerance to ensure the integrity of the community behind the system and the system itself. Catchain pertains to the latter type of algorithms in which preliminary agreement occurs before a new block is created, and midway forks are impossible. The Catchain consensus model is based on the already existing algorithm (Hyperledger Fabric, Zilliqa) having increased resistance to Sybil attacks in asynchronous networks and also has similarities with Tendermint (Cosmos) and dBFT algorithms (Neo, Algorand). However, there is a number of principal differences that allow us to call it a separate algorithm type. practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance Validation rounds For a particular task of creation of new blocks on one of the TON blockchains (masterchain or one of its active shardchains), a separate group consisting of several validators is created. The members of this group are used to create a private overlay network inside ADNL as well as for the launch of a corresponding sample of the Catchain protocol. The process of consensus achievement consists of several rounds which occur inside one catchain. At one point in time, there can be several rounds because some stages of a single round can intersect with others. Every single round ends either with a collective acceptance of a candidate block suggested by one of the members of the process or with the acceptance of a ‘zero candidate’, i.e. without accepting any of the suggested candidates. The round is considered finished only after a potential candidate collects the signatures of over two-thirds of all validators, and this event can be added into a special CommitSign, after which the process will automatically start to participate in the next round (with a new identifier). The events of one validation round occur in the following order: At the beginning of each round several validators (from a pre-selected list) suggest their so-called candidate blocks (with latencies depending on priority) and record this fact into a given Catchain using Submit events. As soon as the process gets all the necessary files, it starts validating the candidate and as a result, there occurs one of the events: Approve or Reject for the given candidate. Further on, each validator votes either for the candidate that received more than two-thirds of votes or, unless there is one, for a valid candidate with the highest priority. The voting is done by creating voting events embedded into new messages. In case of every slow attempt (i.e. any other attempt than the first), the process will vote for the candidate that has been pre-approved (by that same process) or for the candidate that was suggested by VoteFor. In case this candidate receives over two-thirds of ‘for’ votes during such an attempt, then the next event PreCommit is created, proving that all other candidates are rejected.If the candidate block gets PreCommits from more than two-thirds of all validators within this attempt, it will be accepted and marked by the event CommitSign with a valid block signature. All the signatures of blocks are registered in the Catchain and are ultimately collected for the creation of a ‘block proof’ (having the signatures of more than two-thirds of the validators for this block). This proof is an outside gateway of the consensus protocol and is distributed in the overlay network of full nodes which sign the new blocks of this shardchain or masterchain. As soon as a candidate block collects all the CommitSign signatures from more than two-thirds of all validators, the round is considered finished, and the process automatically starts participating in the next round ignoring all events related to other rounds. Fork prevention As mentioned above, in blockchains with traditional protection mechanisms using Proof-of-Work and Proof-of-Stake and their hybrids, for a small period, several correct blockchains or forkchains can coexist simultaneously of which one is further selected. The TON Blockchain system built on the base of small blockchains (multi-blockchains) practically leaves no chances for the occurrence of such events as it uses the blockchain as a means of broadcasting of such messages, i.e. uses the blockchain as a means of broadcasting inside a certain group of processes. However, there exists a very small probability of creation and simultaneous confirmation of several identical blocks. For prevention of such scenarios, there was created the Catchain protocol that allows to detect forks at the earliest stage of their emergence by way of creation of two (or more) different versions of the same message and sending them to different groups of peers. The block signatures on Catchain are created in such a way that the confirmation of forks (i.e. proof of their intended creation) becomes extremely simple as in reality a hash of a very small structure (containing a magical number, an ordinal number of the block and the hash of the rest of the message) is signed. As a result, to prove a fork, there are only needed two small structures and two signatures. As soon as there is a fork found (it usually happens in recursive loading of dependencies of some messages), one group of nodes starts ignoring the messages of a neighbouring group and all of its subsequent messages, as they are not accepted and broadcast elsewhere. Yet, the messages created before the fork was found can be loaded if they are referenced in the messages (blocks) created by the processes that do not know about this fork before they refer to them. Then another service message containing a corresponding proof of fork is created and broadcast to all the neighbouring nodes. From this moment on, all subsequent messages lose dependence from the messages of a known ‘bad’ node and in case of violation, these messages will be rejected by all the ‘honest’ peers in this group. Every node stores its copy of the list of ‘bad’ members of the network (the ones that have created at least one fork). This list is constantly updated in case of detection of a new fork. Thus, if the sender is identified as ‘bad’, his or her message will be ignored and rejected. Conclusion It is well-known that the Catchain protocol was first developed in December 2018 and tested on 300 nodes distributed all over the world. During the test, the time in which consensus on block creation was achieved constituted 6 seconds. Later on, in December 2019 there was issued that showed that the Catchain protocol was 100% ready. Therefore, a conclusion can be made that all the preliminary tests were successfully passed. a document However, it was mentioned in the status section that the complete documentation was only 95% ready, while the final document was only released a year after in February 2020. Thus, it is logical to conclude that the theoretical part is quite thoroughly worked out and presents a fully completed original consensus model ready for realization in the mainnet.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is forecasted to experience exponential growth. It is predicted that the global number of internet connected devices could pass 50 billion by the year 2020, and McKinsey Global Institute predicts that : ¹ ² If policy makers and businesses get it right, linking the physical and digital worlds could generate up to $11.1 trillion a year in economic value by 2025. Whilst progress is being made and IoT devices are now a regular feature in our lives, there are some stumbling blocks around cost, data and security that are preventing the rapid adoption of IoT. the current centralised nature of IoT infrastructure creates huge barriers for interoperability and interconnection of devices, massively driving up the cost of devices and IT infrastructure required. Cost: traditional IoT infrastructure is typically built with specific application scenarios in mind and this results in isolated pools of data, making it hard to fully utilise the value of IoT data. Data: cyber attacks and the theft are very real daily threats with regular instances of breaches to IoT systems. This highlights that privacy and security are critical issues that need addressing. Security: Due to it’s distributed / decentralised framework, blockchain technology has the potential to significantly reduce the cost of equipment interconnection, create new business models to maximise the value of data whilst also ensuring privacy and security. Introducing CPChain, the killer tech that the IoT industry has been waiting for Utilising blockchain as the backbone for IoT is a clear use case. Speed, scale, reduced transaction costs and security are some of the hallmarks of the blockchain promise. However, to deliver on their promise the technology needs to overcome scalability challenges around the high cost of data storage and computations and the low efficiency of current consensus mechanisms. An exciting new player has entered the market claiming they can do just that. CPChain is a China based blockchain business that attacks the aforementioned challenges, with a unique blockchain that can reduce connectivity costs, protect data and maximise the value of IoT data. As per their website : ⁴ CPChain is a new distributed infrastructure for next generation IoT. CPChain intends to build a fundamental data platform for IoT system in combination with distributed storage, encryption computation and blockchain technologies, providing the whole process solution from data acquisition, storage, sharing to application. CPChain is the next generation blockchain solution that will drive IoT adoption CPChain will address the traditional and blockchain specific challenges faced by IoT. Their focus is creating scalability, security and real time transmission of data and transactions dedicated to IoT infrastructure. This is broken down into three steps / technologies that feed into an integrated ecosystem based off the main chain. will be deployed to solve the scalability problem of large-scale data storage and sharing. Parallel distributed cloud storage architecture will be implemented that is capable of huge scaling whilst optimising computing power A new hybrid consensus protocol focuses on high levels of security whilst also allowing real time, high volume concurrent transactions A side chain consensus system On solving both the legacy and blockchain specific challenges of delivering a seamless IoT infrastructure, CPChain will be able to deliver a number of critical applications, across examples including (but not limited to) , and . big data intelligent transportation drug traceability An aggressive roadmap will see CPChain at the forefront of IoT deployment within 3 years CPChain have already completed the R&D phase in their development of the distributed cloud storage architecture, consensus protocol and side chain and recently completed a highly successful fund raise to enable them to embark on full scale project implementation, to be built out as follows: The beta chain is expected to be live by Q3 2018 with sample applications to follow in the summer of 2019. By the start 2020, CPChain expect to be in a position to have a fully viable and functioning product with a number of live commercial partners. Blockchain industry leaders QTUM, VeChain and HPB are backing this excellent team to succeed To deliver on such an aggressive timeline requires excellent, credible partnerships. CPChain are well ahead on that front compared to most of their competitors. They have already formed partnerships with QTUM , VeChain, High Performance Blockchain (HPB) and Metaverse . And in addition they have secured investment from Torque Capital Partners . ⁵ ⁶ ⁷ ⁸ Run by a great team with solid commercial and technical expertise In addition, the team is packed with technical, operational and business expertise that is typically a strong indicator of future success in such blockchain projects (especially when backed by such strong partners). is the .

Greetings, dear readers! In this article, I’m going to share how I counted drops. Yes, you read that right. DROPS It all began when our team started studying machine learning, or to be more precise, we studied Python and OpenCV. During the practice task, I had a chance to implement the algorithm that would count the falling drops in the given video or in real time. And now I’ll tell you how it all went. Here it goes! First of all, to count the drops, you need to have them coming from somewhere. For this, our team consisting of the customer care manager and architect provided me with videos I could start working with. At the next step, it was necessary to think over the means by which it would be possible to implement the necessary algorithm for us. There wasn’t much choice and it fell on OpenCV, namely, the section , subsection Video Analysis Optical Flow. To implement the drops counting algorithm I used Dense Optical Flow, found the shift between the previous and next shots and… that’s it. What to do with this offset, how to process it was not quite clear. Actually, to catch a moving object in the video, you have to leave this single object on all the shots, that is, you need to remove the background, foreign objects, etc. Dense Optical Flow did all that perfectly well, but I could not decide what to do with the final result. But you can never be satisfied with what has already been achieved, especially when your achievement doesn’t solve anything. Excellent. Let’s work on. Recalling that during our machine learning classes we did a lot of image processing, I decided to start working on images specifically. You all know very well that a video is a number of shots, which are images themselves. Then we go to the section and start processing our personnel. Image Processing in OpenCV We can read cap = cv.VideoCapture("videoFiles/drop8.mov") or we can use the camera of our device cap = cv.VideoCapture(0) . Then, I take the first shot and convert it to grayscale. Next, I run through all the shots of the video while it plays and every next shot converts to grayscale: cap = cv.VideoCapture("videoFiles/drop8.mov") ret, frame1 = cap.read() gray1 = cv.cvtColor(frame1, cv.COLOR_BGR2GRAY) tmp_count = 0 prev_has_col = False while cap.isOpened: gray2 = gray1 ret, frame2 = cap.read()     if ret:     gray1 = cv.cvtColor(frame2, cv.COLOR_BGR2GRAY) You can then find the difference between the two shots and start processing the image obtained: difImage = cv.absdiff(gray1, gray2) I applied the median blur to the difference between shots to cut off the background. That is to say, to single out a moving object among others: difImage = cv.absdiff(gray1, gray2) blur = cv.medianBlur(difImage, 15) Further, for the obtained and processed difference, I can find a “column” (stretched drop) and every time I find a “column”, I increase the counter by one: d = blur.sum(axis=0) has_col = np.max(d) > np.median(d) + 1000 if has_col & ~prev_has_col: tmp_cout += 1 prev_has_col = has_col To demonstrate that the drop has been actually detected and counted, I have added contours around the drop and the counter of the drops: blur_contours = cv.blur(difImage, (31, 31)) res, treshold = cv.threshold(blur_contours, 10, 255, cv.THRESH_BINARY) _, cnts, _ = cv.findContours(treshold.copy(), cv.RETR_EXTERNAL, cv.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE) frame = searchForMovement(cnts, frame2, 100) cv.putText(frame, str(tmp_count), (50, frame_height - 50), cv.FONT_HERSHEY_COMPLEX, 1.8, (0, 0, 255)) The final result can be viewed in the video below: At the moment, the algorithm works with conditions close to ideal. Further on, the background should be more or less homogeneous, the source of the drops and the camera should be static. In the future, the algorithm will be improved and can be applied in various household and industrial environments. Also, I plan to develop a simple mobile application using this algorithm, which you can learn about in the following article. Thank you for your attention!
