Abstract
A useful blockchain should possess the following properties, one or more of which many existing blockchain systems lack: 1) A sound consensus protocol. 2) An efficient transaction-processing system. 3) Immutability of history. 4) Decentralization. 5) An effective avenue for hard-forks and rule changes. We propose a system named the “Verex Blockchain” that will fulfill these requirements. This system employs an “Assigned-Majority-Validation” consensus protocol whereby only nodes within a specialized, designated network may vote on the correct state of the blockchain and add new blocks of transactions without proof of work or stake. New nodes to this network must be approved by existing nodes. These nodes will be controlled by entities with high public visibility such as governments or multinational technology companies, whose identities and actions will be made fully transparent on the blockchain. Transactions will be charged fees in cryptocurrency according to a fixed and known fee schedule, which will be earned by nodes in the designated network. Any user in the world may download the blockchain, receive and verify updates, and submit transactions, but only nodes in the specialized network may write updates to the blockchain.
