MASS

Built on a novel Proof-of-Capacity consensus protocol, MASS is a decentralized blockchain network designed to provide a secure, fair, and energy-efficient foundation for public chains. Operating as a permissionless, universal, and secure consensus engine, MASS aims to become the basic infrastructure for all blockchain consensus layers.

The MASS consensus engine creates a consensus layer that is energy efficient, secure, and universal, ensuring the fundamental security of the public chain. By utilizing storage capacity to run the consensus protocol, nodes do not require permission, making the network fair and accessible to everyone. The MASS system has several key features, including 51% Byzantine Fault Tolerance, fork detection punishment scheme, and resistance to selfish mining and double-spend transactions.

MASS is designed to solve the issues inherent in Proof-of-Work consensus mechanisms, such as unsustainable energy waste, unfairness, and centralization. By providing a proof of capacity, nodes can compete for the next block without requiring computing resources, making the network more energy efficient and secure. The MASS system has several real-world applications, including decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and supply chain management.

The MASS community is a non-profit online organization that works to promote blockchain technology among the wider public. Launched in 2017, the community welcomes experts with backgrounds in computer science, social sciences, economics, finance, or entrepreneurship who share the same aims as the project. The community has strict requirements for research and implementation to ensure the excellence of its work.

MASS is a store of value in circulation in MASS Net, the first public chain to make use of the MASS consensus engine. As the value anchor for the MASS consensus engine, MASS provides a secure and stable foundation for the network. With a growing community and increasing adoption, MASS is emerging as a leading player in the blockchain space, with a strong focus on security, fairness, and energy efficiency.
