As part of the core Zenon Unikernel architecture, integrating a hybrid Proof of Work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism is critical for maintaining network security and performance. Such integration must be designed to be lightweight, secure, and efficient to leverage the advantages of unikernel deployment.
Acceptance Criteria
[ ] The consensus mechanism integrates seamlessly with the Zenon Unikernel architecture.
[ ] PoW consensus allows for fair computational competition among miners.
[ ] PoS consensus provides validation opportunities based on staked tokens.
[ ] The implementation ensures minimal energy consumption and optimal performance.
[ ] Robust networking capabilities support node communication and consensus propagation.
[ ] Basic security measures protect against common attacks such as double-spending, 51% attacks, and Sybil attacks.
[ ] Documentation provides clear instructions for engagement with the consensus mechanism.
[ ] Stress-testing shows that the system can handle the proposed load with the integrated consensus mechanism.
