Consensus Mechanism

Change Chain employs a modified Proof-of-Work consensus algorithm optimized for high throughput and energy efficiency. This consensus mechanism ensures that all transactions are securely validated and recorded on the blockchain.

  • Mining Algorithm: Uses a memory-hard hashing algorithm to prevent ASIC domination and promote decentralization.

  • Block Time: Targets sub 1-second block time to ensure rapid transaction processing.

  • Difficulty Adjustment: Implements dynamic difficulty adjustment to maintain consistent block times under varying network loads.

Network Layers

  1. Application Layer: Hosts smart contracts and dApps, fully compatible with EVM.

  2. Consensus Layer: Manages the PoW consensus mechanism and block validation.

  3. Network Layer: Handles peer-to-peer communication and data propagation.

  4. Data Layer: Stores transaction data and blockchain state.
