PoSA Technical Paper
Check out the technical description of PoSA consensus and understand the logic behind it.
Elevating Network Activity
Bahamut's PoSA consensus merges PoS and DPoS features. Validators are
randomly chosen like in PoS, but PoSA also considers their activity levels.
Validators with deployed smart contracts have a higher chance of validating
transactions, ensuring network security, reliability, and resistance to cheating,
while rewarding validators for their efforts.
Discover the extensive array of advantages offered by "Proof of Stake and Activity"
and gain a comprehensive understanding of how these benefits can significantly influence the outcomes of your upcoming projects.
Decentralization & Security
In POSA, network validator roles are distributed across a large number of participants, creating a more secure and resilient network that is less susceptible to centralization and security threats.
Virtuous Cycle
POSA incentivizes validators to actively participate, fostering a network where they are driven to uphold network health and security, ultimately earning more rewards and establishing a virtuous cycle.
Equal Opportunity
All validators are considered equal by the network, reducing the influence of large stake holders and creating a level playing field for all participants, ensuring fairness and equality.
Improved Network Activity
POSA incentivizes validators to care for the network they operate in, fostering interest, incentives, and potentially exponential growth for web3, driving significant and sustainable growth.
Virtuous Cycle
PoSA incentivizes contract developers to create high-quality, high-use contracts, as they will have more influence in the consensus process, leading to a more robust network ecosystem.
Equal Opportunity
By providing a secure, fair, and active network, POSA creates a strong foundation for sustainable growth and innovation in the web3 space, driving long-term success and prosperity.
Sahara Mainnet operates on the Proof of Authority (PoA) consensus mechanism with 9 authority nodes validating transactions.
In October, we will upgrade to the Proof of Stake Authority (PoSA) consensus mechanism.
Decentralization
The PoSA upgrade will introduce greater decentralization to Bahamut Mainnet. Validators will be able to join the network, stake tokens, and earn rewards, allowing anyone to participate in securing the network and promoting decentralization.
Security
PoSA offers enhanced security compared to PoSA by utilizing a distributed consensus mechanism. In PoSA, validators have a financial stake in the Bahamut Mainnet, which incentivizes honest behavior and helps protect the network from potential attacks.
Fairness
PoSA on Bahamut Mainnet selects validators based on their staked tokens and activity, encouraging active participation. Validators who create and execute smart contracts strengthen the network's security, stability, and increase their potential rewards.
