Stanford University professor David Tse has pioneered a way to use Bitcoin to secure proof-of-stake blockchains. The Bitcoin network’s proof-of-work consensus mechanism could become a useful means of securing a variety of proof-of-stake (PoS) smart contract blockchain protocols, thanks to efforts from a Stanford University professor. David Tse and his research team are driving the use of the…

Stanford University professor David Tsè said his team’s research had revealed a security property between Bitcoin and proof-of-stake protocols. Less than a year after proof-of-stake (PoS) became the consensus mechanism for the Ethereum blockchain — the industry’s largest blockchain network — researchers have found that PoS can complement Bitcoin. Stanford University professor David Tsè spoke to Cointelegraph at the…
