Hybrid Consensus

FLOPS blockchain employs a flexible Hybrid Consensus mechanism, combining POW (Proof of Work) and POS (Proof of Stake), to meet various functional requirements and optimize network performance.

1. Daily Transaction Validation - POW:

POW Role: For daily transaction validation, the high computing power of GPU nodes ensures fast transaction processing and network security. We have designed a reward weight slightly higher than that of POS to incentivize nodes to provide more computing resources and security guarantees.

POS Role: Simultaneously, token holders participate in daily transaction validation through the POS mechanism. They contribute to consensus decisions based on their token holdings, promoting decentralization and fairness within the network. Larger contributors receive increased rewards, which economically incentivizes token holders to actively engage in network management and security maintenance.

This hybrid consensus mechanism not only enhances the overall performance and decentralization of the public chain but also provides reliable support and incentives for the AI compute leasing market. We are committed to building a secure, efficient, and innovative blockchain ecosystem through advanced technical solutions.

2. Compute Leasing - POW:

Focused Compute Provision: When a demand side rents GPU nodes for AI model training, the nodes primarily run the POW algorithm to provide high-efficiency computing power support.

Additional Token Incentives: We offer additional token incentives to nodes based on the computing resources and service time they provide. This enhances their motivation and earnings from participating in the compute leasing market.

3. Combined Advantages and Application Scenarios

Through the design of the POW+POS hybrid consensus mechanism, we aim to balance the efficiency and security needs of daily transaction processing while providing reliable support and incentives for the AI compute leasing market. This combination not only improves the overall performance and decentralization of the public chain but also lays a solid foundation for future application expansion and innovation.

Our technical solutions are not only applicable to existing blockchain application scenarios but also offer new solutions for high-performance computing and AI model training. By integrating the best practices of POW and POS, we strive to create a secure, efficient, and innovative decentralized AI compute public chain network.
