Welcome to the Cerberus Infographic Series, where we take an in-depth look at how Cerberus, Radix’s unique consensus protocol, will provide the unlimited, frictionless scalability required to bring Decentralized Finance (DeFi) to billions of people.
Today’s chapter is Chapter IV:
- Episode 8: Shard Allocation – We examine how every “bring up” substate is given its own, deterministically allocated, shard.
- Episode 9: Transactions – We discuss how transactions work, using a worked example to lead you through step-by-step.
Here’s the running order:
Chapter I: Introduction; Summary; Why Blockchains Can’t Scale
Chapter II: What is Radix?; The Shardspace and Validator Sets
Chapter III: Substate; Substate and Transactions
Chapter IV: Shard Allocation; Transactions
Chapter V: Nakamoto vs BFT-style Consensus; Consensus – Local Cerberus
Chapter VI: Consensus – Emergent Cerberus; Partial Ordering – Parallelization of Processing
Chapter VII: Maintaining a Record of Transactions; Sybil Resistance Through Proof of Stake; Conclusion
Chapter IV: Shard Allocation; Transactions
