Genetic-Algorithm-Inspired Difficulty Adjustment for Proof-of-Work Blockchains
In blockchains, the principle of proof-of-work (PoW) is used to compute a complex mathematical problem. The computation complexity is governed by the difficulty, adjusted periodically to control the rate at which new blocks are created. The network hash rate determines this, a phenomenon of symmetry...
