Four documents, the same five questions.
No throughput league table and no yield. The cells are what this library is willing to say about the text.
| Question | The Bitcoin Backbone Protocol |
|---|---|
| What the text proposes | Common prefix, chain quality and chain growth, under a synchronous network and an honest majority of hash power. |
| Who may write | Juan Garay, Aggelos Kiayias and Nikos Leonardos |
| What is settled | Common prefix: honest parties' chains agree except for a recent tail. |
| Load-bearing assumption | The model is not partial synchrony and not Byzantine quorum finality. |
| What this library says afterwards | A reading of the public document. Not a copy of it, and not a claim about a later network that reused the name. |
| Rights | Official external source only |
