Consensus Protocols

Pantheon implements a number of consensus protocols:

  • Ethash (Proof of Work)

  • Clique (Proof of Authority)

  • IBFT 2.0 (Proof of Authority)

!!! note IBFT 2.0 is under development and will be available in v1.0.

The genesis file specifies the consensus protocol for a chain config:

{
   "config": {
     ...
     "ethash": {
    
   } 
  },
  ...  
}
{
  "config": {
    ....
    "clique": {
      ... 
   }
  },
  ...
}
{
  "config": {
    ....
    "revisedibft": {
      ...     
   }
  },
  ...
}
