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.

QuestionCryptocurrencies without Proof of Work
What the text proposesThe paper studies stake-based chain selection and the cost of signing every fork. It is one of the early formal attempts to replace work with a scarce key.
Who may writeIddo Bentov, Ariel Gabizon and Alex Mizrahi
What is settledSigning a second fork is cheap if the key is not bonded.
Load-bearing assumptionThis is not Ouroboros and not Casper.
What this library says afterwardsA reading of the public document. Not a copy of it, and not a claim about a later network that reused the name.
