Last post by Neve - May 14, 2020, 12:11:46 PM

Every four years, Bitcoin gives out 50% less reward for each block. To avoid the price instability caused by this, ZooBC has re-designed how blocks and rewards work from the ground up. In this video, our CTO and Co-founder, Barton Johnston, explains to you the following:
- Bitcoin halving and why it matters
- How ZooBC reward mechanism limits the supply of tokens
- The main differences between the ZooBC and Bitcoin reward mechanisms

ZooBC Explained: How Fee Scaling in ZooBC Works


Every blockchain has transaction fees, but why? Do they have systems that help keep the fee at a reasonable level? Many do not, but ZooBC takes a unique approach to this problem. In this video, we learn about different stages of the ZooBC fee scaling model, such as:
- Committing to fee votes
- Revealing fee votes
- Adjusting a network fee scale

Like Proof of Authority, Proof of Participation takes advantage of a federated consensus algorithm. However, unlike Proof of Authority, the process of joining the federation is fully decentralized, permissionless, and fair. Learn more here: http://ow.ly/HBIZ50yTQCC

Proof of Participation takes the best part of proof of stake (removing the need for vast computing resources by proof of work) and takes a step further by reducing dependence on the token's value for security as explained in this infographic. Learn more at: http://ow.ly/T2Kd50yNxyE
