Overview

Overview about the specified protocols.

This sections contains a number of protocol specifications. One page per specification. Each specification starts with a short intuition section, briefly describing how the protocol works, what it tries to solve, and how it relates to others. It follows the specification itself, written out as a Python program. These programs are meant for human consumption. Read them to understand them. Do not copy them into an interpreter. The protocol specification methodology page get’s you going.

If you want to study the protocols in-order, we recommend following the dependency graph below. If you just read the obligatory methodology section, you’ve learned about Nakamoto consensus along the lines. You are ready for parallel voting.
