Our founding team at Storecoin believes that the most durable, scalable, and global blockchain ecosystems of the future will have their roots in shared, open research. Before mainnet launch, Storecoin will open up its research across governance, economics, distribution, security, and consensus for public peer review. We're also offering research bounties to help our core team shape the protocol (more below).
Governance essays, op-eds, and podcasts

8. The Launch "Ages" of STORE
How STORE evolves from zero-fee, p2p payments to a zero-fee, p2p cloud computing platform
🖊️ A TechCrunch op-ed essay from STORE founder Chris McCoy on the inevitability of tokenized data and open computing
🎙️ Tom Shaughnessy of Delphi Digital interviews STORE's Chris and Rag (CTO) on its radically new p2p cloud computing platform
7. Day One Governance
Why Governance Must Be Articulated From Day One
🖊 An essay from STORE's Chris McCoy on how Facebook could give users control of their data without needing governments to intervene.
🎙️ A podcast from STORE co-creator Chris McCoy on Blockcrunch making a case for a checks and balances-based and democratic-inspired governance for public blockchains.
🖊️ An essay from STORE co-creator Chris McCoy on The Block making a case that the winning governance models will be chosen.
🖊️ An essay from STORE investor and advisor Ari Paul on STORE governance as it relates to BTC, ETH, and EOS.
6. How To Enable Democratic Blockchain Governance Through One-Entity-One-Vote
Ending Plutocracy & Enabling Democracy In Blockchain Governance: An Overview Of One-Entity-One Vote And Know Your Voter
5. A Separation of Powers in STORE’s Decentralized Governance of Checks and Balances
How formal and enforceable roles prevent gridlock when miner, developer, and holder interests diverge
4. Reimagining Property, Rights, and Enforcement In The Blockchain Context
The foundation of markets are property rights and the enforcement of contracts. Without protected private property, market participants can’t lay claim to the goods they sell or buy in the market. Without contract enforcement, participants have to trust trading counterparts with no hope of recourse.
3. An Overview of STORE's Governance
Towards a ‘decentralized republic’ model of blockchain governance
🖊 An essay from STORE co-creator Chris McCoy on Token Daily making a case that the governance discussion is massively undervalued.
2. Blockchain Governance, Trade Offs, and the Importance of a Checks-and-Balances based Decentralized Governance
Session 2 of STORE’s public peer review of its p2p governance.
1. Announcing the STORE Governance Peer Review Process & Working Group
STORE is pleased to announce our first peer review and working group, focused on governance. Through this, we will bring our community together to learn about and provide input on a full spectrum of governance issues. This process will take place through public comments on prepared documents and via a public email group, a final spec generated from the working group, and ultimately culminate in the third STORE GovCon in 2021.

0. Join public peer review of Storecoin's proposed, decentralized governance of checks and balances
Storecoin intends to launch a decentralized governance of checks and balances. We are currently in the midst of a Public Peer Review process, inviting members of the blockchain community to review, discuss and refine our proposed governance system.

How STORE solves for both scalability and decentralization without sharding, off-chain transactions, level 2, etc.

At launch, we expect 5,000+ transactions per second and for throughput to increase as transaction demand increases.

STORE’s leader-free, BFT consensus algorithm BlockfinBFT, validates blocks in a pipelined process.

BlockfinBFT is a two-tier network of Validator nodes and Messagenodes, each with specific roles, assemble and validate blocks using a cryptographically secure process.

⏱️ Engineering timeline for BlockfinBFT
Anticipated roll-out of the BlockfinBFT consensus algorithm
🔬 STORE open sources Basil, a proposal to improve for the Tendermint consensus algorithm
Tendermint is a BFT consensus algorithm powering the Cosmos project and more.
🔬 STORE's early experiment with Tendermint-based consensus algorithm that led to the BlockFinBFT research achieves +10,000 TPS with burst traffic and 21 Validator nodes
STORE’s mission is to become zero-fee payment infrastructure for the global internet. The Dynamic Proof of Stake (DyPoS) consensus engine powering the STORE infrastructure is designed to process thousands of transactions per second. When transactions arrive continuously but at lower rates, the consensus engine is capable of handling the incoming transactions, but how does it behave when transactions come in bursts? When STORE is used as the payment platform by merchants and app developers, the transactions are likely to come in bursts from multiple sources. So, we need to characterize the behavior of the consensus engine under such circumstances.

📖 STORE dWorkers protect themselves from DDoS (distributed denial of service) and spam attacks using request rate limiting strategy. The dWorker nodes are protected by a pool of Nginx servers configured to rate limit incoming requests.
📖 STORE proposes a de-identification based architecture to ensure the privacy of personally identifiable information even when such information is traded or shared on the platform.
