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 | Deconstructing the Blockchain to Approach Physical Limits |
|---|---|
| What the text proposes | Bitcoin uses one chain for three jobs: proposing transactions, voting on history, and ordering the result. Prism splits those jobs onto separate block trees so throughput can approach network capacity while confirmation tracks propagation delay. |
| Who may write | Vivek Bagaria, Sreeram Kannan, David Tse, Giulia Fanti and Pramod Viswanath |
| What is settled | Proposer blocks carry transactions. |
| Load-bearing assumption | Splitting the chains does not remove mining. It reassigns what a mined block means. |
| What this library says afterwards | Physical limits in the paper are network capacity and delay, not a token's market throughput. |
