Technology
The network is secured via the 'Segregated Byzantine Agreement' (SBA) consensus process. According to the Dusk Network team, SBA is an improvement over the underlying Proof-of-Stake (PoS) mechanism because it combines existing ideas such as cryptographic sortition (lottery), stealth time-locked transactions (private stake amounts), and a reputation module to increase the chances of selecting honest nodes and promote decentralization even further.
All contracts on the Dusk Network operate on our Rusk virtual machine (VM), which is powered by WASM (WebAssembly) and the Rust programming language.
