White Papers Deciphered — WPD

A place to learn the theory behind the tech

With the growing interest in the blockchain and cryptocurrency space reaching new heights week by week, I wanted to create a space that focuses on helping others interested in this space to take a dive into the whitepapers that each project releases and to go over:

• How does their technology work?
• What makes it unique and innovative?
• Take complex theory and subjects and write them out in a simple to digest forms for those who may not be as technically literate.

I will be reviewing and highlighting the main points in the whitepapers of initially the prominent players in the cryptocurrency space. This will include the likes of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Stellar Lumens, and XRP. This will help to build the foundational understanding of the early players in the cryptocurrency space and acknowledge their contributions. Later articles will move into more current themes within the cryptocurrency space such as DeFi, NFT, newer consensus protocols (i.e. Proof of Stake, Proof of Storage, and Proof of Space and Time). If there are any cryptocurrencies that you’d like an extensive review of their white paper, please let me know and I’ll make sure to place it in the queue of projects.

I’d love to expand into more editorial pieces about the various technologies enabled and compare them against each other, but for the time being, I’m going to try and make an objective attempt to review each tech on its own merits.
