LAYERED DYNAMIC PROOF-OF-WORK
REAL-TIME POST-QUANTUM CRYPTOCURRENCY
VIAT uses a hybrid post-quantum signature scheme that balances speed, security, and long-term survivability. Each transaction is signed using both Ed25519—an efficient, widely adopted classical signature algorithm—and Dilithium, a NIST-selected post-quantum lattice-based scheme. This dual-signature approach ensures compatibility with existing systems while providing strong resistance to future quantum threats. As an added layer of resilience, SPHINCS+, a conservative, stateless hash-based signature, is included as a non-default fallback (primarily used by auditors) to safeguard against the failure or deprecation of either primary scheme. This layered cryptographic design offers robust protection and future-proof assurance, especially suited for risk-averse users and institutions.
Viat’s proof model combines multiple layers of security and validation through several mechanisms: Proof-of-Work (PoW), Proof-of-Funds (PoF), Proof-of-Stake (PoS), Proof-of-Verification (PoV), and Proof-of-History (PoH). As transactions move through the network, different proofs are applied at each stage.
Every block includes some form of useful PoW alongside a proof specific to its function. Transaction (TX) blocks use PoF to confirm available funds. Arbiter blocks apply PoV to validate the transaction. Audit blocks add PoH, linking multiple arbiter blocks to anchor the transaction in historical context. Staking blocks employ PoS, allowing auditors and arbiters to opt into consensus.
Together, these proofs form a layered system that enables real-time verification while securing a canonical order of events within the blockchain.
VIAT features a self-organizing, hierarchical superstructure implemented as a physical filesystem that seamlessly integrates both linear and DAG-based blockchains. This design enables deterministic structure, asynchronous operations, constant-time lookups, and high-throughput parallel processing.
VIAT’s superstructure provides a general structure from which its self-organizing branches emerge. The VIAT superstructure defines the overall geometry of both the blockchain and the underlying physical filesystem, establishing the dimensions of the Viat state. While the physical pathing of the superstructure is locally agnostic, a standard pathing protocol exists between nodes to ensure seamless communication.
