Four documents, the same five questions.

No throughput league table and no yield. The cells are what this library is willing to say about the text.

QuestionChainweb: A Proof-of-Work Parallel-Chain Architecture for Massive Throughput
What the text proposesKadena's public parallel-chain design. Many proof-of-work chains advance together, and each block commits to peer-chain headers, so a confirmation is a braid rather than a single chain. This is not the 2016 private-chain note already in the historic library.
Who may writeWill Martino, Monica Quaintance, Stuart Popejoy
What is settledA fixed graph of chains. Each new block includes hashes of peer blocks.
Load-bearing assumptionThe historic PDF Kadena-ConsensusWhitePaper-Aug2016.pdf is the earlier private-chain note. Do not mix the citations.
What this library says afterwardsThe historic library already includes Kadena's 2016 private-chain consensus note. Chainweb is the later public design.
