UNIVERSA - Faster Transactions. Smarter Contracts. Fully Customizable Blockchain

in #ico7 years ago

Overview

Universa Platform is a new generation of blockchain technology. It uses a contract execution machine and distributed state ledger designed to improve on Bitcoin and Ethereum technologies by delivering improvements that are imperative for business adoption, with an emphasis on tokenization and contractual agreements. Where traditional blockchains transact primarily in currencies, Universa is designed to support token representation of everything from passports to boarding passes, bus tickets or taxi fares; they can be gift cards, vouchers, or gym membership cards. You might make a token representing your title deed, or just the keys to the house.

While traditional blockchains record a full trustless ledger of all actions, transactions and their effects on a network (“fat protocol, tiny logic”), Universa improves speed and usability by maintaining an directed graph of the verifiable hashes of the output of all actions (“tiny protocol, fat logic”).
In other words, instead of stacking blocks to make a single full ledger, each set of changes to a contract is applied by the clients in a separate contract chain (“C-Chains”) to the previous state, and the outcome is vectorized and hashed – only assigned signature of the state of each side-chain gets updated as the new status of the blockchain, discarding the old state and storing the new one. Still, each chain keeps it’s own history, and any node with a copy of the transactions can attempt to replay them and verify that the outcome is the same, which ensures validity and fairness in a trusted environment

Proof-Of-State

The Universa Nodes primary function is to execute contracts and verify state. Rather than relying on archaic mining techniques that burn clock cycles for no reason, in Universa, permission to create new blocks comes from participation as a licensed node. Therefore, rather than waiting for a new block to be mined, a state change can occur at any time, verified by a trusted actor, and often approved by consensus in less than ten milliseconds even at scale. Each separate contract maintains its own chain of state, so a contract can perform actions asynchronously without blocking or affecting other contracts, and the combined changes of state collectively form a directed a cyclical graph (“DAG”) that makes up the blockchain itself.
