Graph Learning News Review: Hot-Topic Facts of Spring 2021 to Take into Account

Cryptocurrencies are prone to many different types of attack. As Bitcoin is over 11 years on the track, we know and were facing many different attempts on breaking its security. One of them is network partition attack.


But what about the Proof-of-Stake algorithms? Have they solved some of the vulnerabilities of Bitcoin and its Proof-of-Work algorithm?

A Technical Q&A on Network Partition Attacks

In the interview I made last year, I asked a leading cryptocurrency expert Andreas M. Antonopoulos, about whether someone could solve the so-called Blockchain Trilemma – scalability and security without sacrificing
decentralization in the future. 

Examining The Blockchain Trilemma

Are Bitcoin And Ethereum As Secure As You Think?

Blockchains have unlocked a new design space for computing with the advent of trustless computing. In a world of increasing centralization (a la, the Big Four), increasing control and exploitation (a la, Facebook), and increasing censorship (a la, the State). The promise of a decentralized, self sovereign, censorship resistant protocol is exactly what the world wants/needs. You need not look any further than the ICO boom that seeded 2000+ new projects from in the span of 18 months to see there is a desire to build a new internet, devoid of the systemic challenges we are faced with today.

Understanding Tradeoffs: Decentralization vs. Usability

One of the primary drivers behind Ethereum‘s 500x returns over the last few years has been the so-called “Fat Protocols” thesis, initially <a href="http://www.usv.com/blog/fat-protocols" target="_blank">put forth by Joel Monegro in his 2016 article</a>. In it, Monegro argued that while the previous internet stack resulted in most of the wealth being captured at the application level (Facebook, Amazon, etc), the blockchain stack will see most of the wealth captured on the protocol level (Ethereum, Bitcoin, etc).

In defense of Ethereum and its fatness: why I’m still bullish on ETH

Capturing crypto value: a guide to tokenization strategies…Part 2/3

Evaluating crypto networks is challenging. The “<a href="http://www.usv.com/blog/fat-protocols" target="_blank">fat protocol</a>” thesis, for example, represents an attempt to identify the features that will drive the value of crypto protocols. Put forward by Union Square Ventures’ Joel Monegro in 2016, the thesis— which has captured the imagination of many Silicon Valley investors — posits that the value of blockchains will concentrate at the protocol layer. Whereas in the case of the protocols underlying the Internet (such as TCP/IP, HTTP, or SMTP) value has been captured at the application level, the thesis states that the value of blockchains will be distributed along the protocol layer. Monegro argues that whereas the Internet is composed of “thin protocols” and “fat applications,” the inverse relationship holds in blockchains — blockchains will consist of “fat protocols” and “thin applications“ (see Figure 1).
