Derived node: assembled mechanically from the claims carrying ethereum. A roster, not an adjudicated definition.
Every claim under this term
- 2939127-030 : Fundamental flaws in the DAO's code let hackers move one third of its total funds to a subsidiary account, and that hack together with further technological limitations destroyed the DAO initiative.
- 2939127-037 : Advising on blockchain contracts requires that law students and lawyers become familiar with the technology and learn at least basic coding as it pertains to Ethereum smart contracts.
- 2959730-040 : Running a private fund adviser portfolio on the blockchain costs only protocol determined core usage fees, modular commissions set by module developers amounting to a fraction of a cent or a fraction
- 3067615-004 : Because Ethereum's decentralized platform incorporating smart contracts lets developers build applications directly on its blockchain, the majority of developers chose to write smart contracts on the
- 3071378-012 : The DAO failed because its code had not yet been perfected: hackers took a third of the DAO tokens and transferred them to another account, and that hack together with other technological limitations
- 3125822-024 : The platform becomes fully autonomous almost immediately after deployment, because once the Ethereum DApp is posted its authors have no more control over the evolution of the expertise tags than any o
- 3128900-015 : Semada is stipulated as an autonomous, decentralized, open source protocol on the Ethereum blockchain that enables domain specific reputation verification for human task crowdsourcing.
- 3128900-031 : The payment design allows secure off chain payments without gas consumption, with settlement transferred onto the Ethereum blockchain at a later date, which the author claims is superior to the paymen
- 3227933-030 : The DAO showed that a corporate-type organization can operate with no physical address, no directors, no managers and no employees, with its governance structure built entirely from software, code and
- 3249860-020 : Much of the stability in month over month coin launching from mid-2013 onward is attributable to the launching of the Ethereum platform.
- 3249860-022 : Fifty-six of the top 100 tokens are implemented at the protocol level of a blockchain, thirty-five follow the ERC-20 Token Standard, six are implemented in a crypto economic protocol on top of a block
- 3373393-029 : The first DAO had no physical address, no jurisdiction able to claim control over it, no directors, managers, or employees, so all the core control mechanisms typically employed by principals in agenc
- 3409548-014 : The 2018 ICO boom exposed a core limitation of blockchain technology: ICOs sold investors decentralized infrastructure products on the assumption that a baseline infrastructure already existed, and th
- 3409548-021 : A fund constituted purely through smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain may have no domicile, foreign or domestic, which makes jurisdiction over blockchain transactions a genuine problem for the
- 3606663-028 : DeFi's decentralization remains theoretical in one important respect: as of the early 2020s DeFi is still largely relegated to one dominant platform, with 87 percent of all publicly funded DeFi projec
- 3606663-037 : Read together with the network capacity failure that CryptoKitties caused on Ethereum in December 2017, the expected DeFi growth rates imply that the Ethereum network will continue to experience netwo
- 3782192-036 : Bitcoin and Ethereum are worth hundreds of billions of dollars not because people are using them but almost entirely because of speculation on their future value, which is the expectation that people
- 3782192-038 : Decentralized money and decentralized contracts have been built, but decentralized business will not work until roughly eight further decentralized institutions that people actually use in business ar
- 3782198-025 : Bitcoin and Ethereum have no formal binding governance framework declaring how consensus protocols may be changed in the future, which the authors identify as a deep flaw that weakens the networks and
- 3782198-039 : Ethereum is Turing complete in theory but cannot practically match even a cheap smartphone, because everything stored on the blockchain must be stored redundantly on thousands of nodes forever, so dec
- 3782201-021 : Despite billions of dollars of investment, radically decentralized tools including bitcoin currency, Ethereum smart contracts, and the InterPlanetary File System have not pervaded the mainstream econo
- 3782203-026 : Marketing a consensus algorithm as correct by construction is false advertising, because such proofs establish resistance only to the attacks the theorists considered reasonable at the time, not to al
- 3782205-003 : Prototypes exist for only two of the eight required institutions, decentralized currency in Bitcoin and distributed computation for smart contracts in Ethereum, and most of the rest are still missing.
- 3782205-020 : Ethereum will not be efficient until it operates inside a robust decentralized economy, and it will not last at all unless its governance is fixed.
- 3782210-034 : Contemporary blockchains cannot support the proposed architecture because the technology is too slow and expensive to poll members on every transaction, and the messages required for all nodes to regi
- 4796714-014 : Proof of Stake consensus centralizes control in proportion to the quantity of tokens held, so governance built on such chains is skewed in favor of the wealthy rather than distributed.
