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.
| Question | FruitChains: A Fair Blockchain |
|---|---|
| What the text proposes | Nakamoto consensus can pay a minority coalition more than its share of hash power, which is the selfish-mining observation. FruitChains records transactions in 'fruit' that hang off the chain, and pays out over a window so honest hash power gets roughly honest rewards. |
| Who may write | Rafael Pass and Elaine Shi |
| What is settled | Fruit are easier to mine than blocks and carry the transactions. |
| Load-bearing assumption | Fairness in the paper is about block rewards, not about transaction ordering or MEV. |
| What this library says afterwards | A protocol that pays more evenly can still be captured by a pool that coordinates the hash power. |
