Sterling Consolidated Corp Cryptocurrency Deep Dive Roadmap (DDRM)

DDRM is designed to identify new trends, directions and changes that can disrupt existing ecosystems of the o-ring industry. It will identify possible applications, public or private structure, hash functions, node-to-node transactions, consensus mechanisms and protocols, the core technology of development, various scaling elements and other factors that involve blockchain design and future mapping. We will create a high level roadmap for tech integration, identify and augment out token utility, identify best technology for the POC (proof of concept) and outline Cryptocurrency steps.

Glossary of terms

At BlockchainDriven, you will be guided by various experts in different blockchain verticals. Here is a list of terms you will encounter, and knowledge of them will help you navigate the blockchain ecosystem.

Consensus Mechanism

A method to authenticate and validate a set of values or a transaction without the need to trust or rely on a centralized authority; can be constructed on and off a blockchain; a variety of approaches exist

Consensus Protocols

Algorithms for building consensus based on requirements like performance, scalability, consistency, data capacity, governance, security, and failure redundancy.

Hash Functions

An application programming interface creates, through a process called hashing, a unique key or digital fingerprint for each file

Node

Members or systems of a consensus network; a server that holds a replicated copy of the ledger; can have varying roles: to issue, verify, receive, inform, etc. For all intents and purposes, a node can be a VM instance

Node-to-Node

A mechanism in which only two nodes involved in a transaction take part; in effect, it eschews traditional consensus mechanism

Private Blockchain

An encryption key uniquely linked to the owner and known only to the parties exchanged in a transaction; it is secretly held in a digital wallet

Public Blockchain

A network in which anyone can participate by reading data, submitting transactions, and participating in the validation process

Weekly calls consist of assessing the past week’s accomplishments and calibrating strategy to integrate into the coming week.

ONBOARDING TASKLIST

Week 1

Week 2

Week 3

DDRM: Infrastructure, Technology & Development

For now, it’s not possible to say that one consensus mechanism is clearly superior. One mechanism may be better for one use case, and another mechanism better for another use case. We will run analysis tailored to your case, taking into account that new mechanisms are emerging, to find the best consensus mechanism for your project.
