Introduction to Ethereum, and Cryptoeconomic Mechanisms
and Security
Vitalik Buterin
Friday, February 20, 2015
Talk at 4:15pm
Gates 463
Abstract:
The presentation will provide an introduction to the Ethereum protocol from
a technical perspective, including the high-level operation of the
blockchain
protocol, contract calling and gas mechanics, use of Patricia Merkle
trees and
other cryptography and light client proofs. I will then discuss some of the
interplay between economics/game theory and cryptography both in consensus
algorithm design (eg. proof of work, proof of stake) as well higher-level
protocols like sidechains, challenge-response protocols and SchellingCoin,
and will attempt to define and dissect different interpretations of the
concept of "cryptoeconomic assurance".
