The Farmer's Dilemma in Blockchain: Solutions from Autonomys and Subspace
In blockchain, the "farmer's dilemma" refers to the challenge node operators (farmers) face between storing historical data and maximizing storage for consensus.
Autonomys addresses this with its Proof-of-Archival-Storage (PoAS) consensus, which decouples consensus from execution. This allows farmers to validate transactions without sacrificing historical data storage.
Additionally, the Distributed Storage Network (DSN) ensures permanent data availability and quick retrieval, supporting both scalability and flexibility for decentralized applications (dApps). Autonomys offers an innovative, scalable solution to the farmer's dilemma, optimizing blockchain operations for the future.
