🌐Delegated Proof of Earn (DPoE)

The Roburna Chain relies on a group of validators responsible for confirming and adding new blocks to the blockchain. These validators engage in the consensus protocol by signing blocks with cryptographic signatures, secured by their private keys.

Introducing Delegated Proof of Earn (DPoE)

Building on the Proof-of-Earn (PoE) consensus mechanism, Roburna introduces Delegated Proof of Earn (DPoE). DPoE operates similarly to PoE, but with the added benefit that participants can form pools, collectively acting as validators within the Roburna blockchain.

How DPoE Works

With DPoE, validators are not limited to individual participation. Instead, they can create or join validator pools, which are recognized by the blockchain as legitimate validators. The validation rewards are then distributed among the participants within the pool.

One of the key advantages of DPoE is its accessibility to smaller participants. Since no fees are applied within the pools, even smaller validators can share in the rewards, which they may otherwise miss out on. To ensure fair participation and prevent manipulation, limits will be set on the maximum amounts that can be contributed to each pool.

The Benefits of DPoE

The DPoE mechanism is an excellent solution for empowering smaller participants. By enabling them to join forces and pool their resources, they can collectively earn validation rewards that would typically be reserved for larger participants. This fosters inclusivity, making it easier for a diverse range of network participants to benefit from the Roburna blockchain’s validation rewards.

In addition to the proof-of-earn (PoE) consensus mechanism, Roburna introduces the (DPoE) delegated-proof-of-earn mechanism. The delegated-proof-of-earn mechanism functions similarly to the proof-of-earn mechanism, but with the addition that participants can create pools in which they can participate as a collective Roburna blockchain validator.

Through DPoE, the pools are recognized as a Roburna blockchain validator, and the validation rewards are shared amongst participants in the pool. Within the delegated-proof-of-earn pools, no fees are applied, which gives an additional advantage to smaller participants. Limits on the amounts that can be contributed to these pools will be applied to avoid abuse from larger numbers of participants.

The delegated-proof-of-earn (DPoE) consensus mechanism is a great way to enable multiple smaller network participants to share in rewards together, which they may not be eligible for on their own.
