I am the CTO of a new DPOS project called SWAPBlocks. We have recently shifted our DPOS blockchain from Lisk source code to Ark. We had planned to have an initial 101 delegates, but some of the members of the discord channel have said they prefer 51 due to the quicker block times.
We are building a platform to automate many of the back-office task associated with asset transfer that can take anywhere from 3 days to 6 months today. SWAPBlocks non-blockchain component will significantly speed up the transaction times by eliminating many of the inefficiencies in asset management processes today. The blockchain layer is used for settlement, data-integrity and lineage.
Benefits of 51:Faster blocktimes
Updates can be pushed out with less effort than with 101 (only 26 delegates need to upgrade nodes in order for change to be implemented)
Less code changes are needed for the initial clone
Benefits of 101It's slightly more decentralized
More people will have the chance to forge
We've also got a poll here:
