Founded in 2017,
Helix Cognitive Computing GmbH (
www.hlx.ai) is a Berlin-based technology company that is dedicated to developing and creating a sustainable digital ecosystem that interconnects Everyone and Everything by using a next-generation peer-to-peer digital exchange network - the
HelixNetwork.
The HelixNetwork consists of the
HelixMesh Protocol, it's own distributed ledger the
HelixTangle and a native currency – the
HLX coin.
The HelixMesh protocol is based on the double-consensus (on- and off- chain) MeshCash framework. The main advantage over existing
Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus protocols is a high degree of flexibility: HelixMesh can be deployed in both
permissionless (by implementing the Proof-Of-Contribution abstraction) and
permissioned environments. Moreover, virtually any BFT consensus can be used for the off-chain layer of HelixMesh. As a result, the liveness vs safety tradeoffs are not dictated by the protocol itself but may be adjusted based on the particular use-case requirements.
This makes HelixMesh a robust blueprint for consensus protocols over IoT-sourced distributed ledgers. On a longer timescale, we envision a global interconnected network of HelixMesh-based specialized DLTs.
The
Technical Paper about the
HelixMesh Protocol is now publicly available. To give you a little insight into our document you can read a summary of the paper here.
AbstractWe provide a technical exposition of the HelixMesh protocol and the underlying DAG-based transaction ledger. The HelixMesh is based on the double-consensus MeshCash framework and the Snowball protocol of the Avalanche family. The main advantage over existing BFT consensus protocols is a high degree of flexibility: the protocol can be deployed in both permissionless and permissioned environments. Moreover, virtually any BFT consensus is suitable for the off-chain layer of the HelixMesh. As a result, the liveness vs safety tradeoffs are not dictated by the protocol itself but may be adjusted based on the particular use-case requirements. This makes the HelixMesh a robust blueprint for IoT-sourced distributed ledgers…
