Understanding Ethereum Network: Why double -knit transactions in Bitcoinon
As we get into the complexities of blockchain networks, there is a question of confused fans and developers: Why do each transaction appear on the Bitcoin network? To answer the query, we first understand the principles of Ethereum’s unique architecture.
The Bitcoin Network: Short Overview
Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that uses a Peer-to-Peer network to facilitate transactions. The network is maintained by a voluntary “miner” network that solves complex mathematical puzzles to validate incoming transactions and add to the blockchain. Each block that contains more transactions is broadcast to the network and, once it is checked, is merged into the main blockchain.
Ethereum: decentralized platform with unique architecture
Ethereum, on the other hand, is a programmable blockchain platform that allows developers to create decentralized applications (dapps) using its native cryptocurrency, ether. The architecture of Ethereum is based on principles different from Bitcoin, which are examined below.
The double -knit debate
So, why do transactions broadcast on bitcoin network twice? The answer is that Ethereum Work-on Work (POW) is a consensual algorithm, called Ethash, validates transactions. In Bitcoin, miners compete to solve complex mathematical puzzles, which requires significant calculation energy and energy consumption.
Ethereum has made a double bond mechanism to compensate for high computational requirements. Instead of broadcasting one -off transactions and then checking it, each transaction is handed over twice:
- Initial Radiation : When a transaction first appears on the network, AS-ISS is without radiation without control.
- Verification : When the initial radiation is received, the miners certify transactions using Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). If you confirm that the transactions are valid and in line with the blockchain rules, the EVM will be updated to “confirm” the block.
- Second Radiation : After a block has been confirmed, re -transfer on the network without further control.
This double -knit process reduces the energy needed for mining, making Ethereum more energy efficient than bitcoin. However, this also means that all transactions can be handed over twice before being checked and inserted into the blockchain.
Conclusion
In summary, the double bond mechanism used by Ethereum to manage high -frequency transactions is a deliberate design choice aimed at optimizing network performance while continuing to ensure blockchain integrity. While Bitcoin seems to be effective compared to a single -item approach, reduced energy consumption and better scalability benefits make Ethereum an attractive alternative to decentralized applications.
As we continue to explore the world of blockchain networks, understanding these unique design decisions can help to better assess the complexity and compromises related to the construction of safe, efficient and scalable distributed systems.
