MPoS: Multi Proof of Stake

Multi Proof of Stake (MPoS) is a layer one consensus algorithm used in Nibiru Network that is based on the original Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus algorithm, but with modifications to address certain issues and limitations.  It presets two pools of candidate nodes with different proportions of candidates (upper and lower house systems). In each round of witness node election, a corresponding number of nodes are selected according to the equity algorithm to give the right to produce blocks (that is, verification node), and at the same time combined with the benefit algorithm to ensure that each participant has the opportunity to produce a block.

PoS: Proof of Stake

Proof of Stake (PoS) is a consensus mechanism used in blockchain networks to validate transactions and add new blocks to the blockchain. In PoS, validators are selected based on the number of cryptocurrency tokens they hold and are willing to "stake" as collateral.

PoF: Proof of Flow

Proof of Flow (PoF) is a consensus mechanism designed for the Nibiru Network to validate the flow of assets and data traffic through the network. PoF is a mechanism that maps real services in the real world to network traffic and converts verified valid traffic into rewards on the chain.

PoC: Proof of Capacity

Proof of Capacity (PoC) is a consensus mechanism used in Nibiru Network to validate valid storage capacity.

PoV: Proof of Verification

Proof of Verification (PoV) is a consensus mechanism is a consensus used to verify the true and effective capacity of Service Provider's claimed service capabilities (such as bandwidth and storage capacity) and service workloads (such as traffic and storage space usage).

SDN: Software-Defined Networking

Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a network architecture that allows network administrators to manage network services and traffic flows using a centralized software controller, separate from the underlying physical network infrastructure. SDN achieves this by separating the control plane from the data plane, allowing administrators to program network behavior through software rather than configuring individual network devices. This approach provides greater flexibility and agility in network management, making it easier to respond to changing network requirements and traffic patterns.

SDVN: Software-Defined Virtual Network

SDVN is a virtual network architecture that uses software-defined networking principles to create virtual network segments or overlays on top of physical networks such as the internet and local-area networks. It adopts advanced technologies, including Multi-code Packet Encryption, Multi-layered, Network Slicing, DLT, and Next-Hops, to build a "network-data-application" autonomous platform that provides a highly reliable, scalable, and programmable secure distributed network infrastructure for Web2 and Web3 applications. SDVN extends various application scenarios, including decentralized networks, identities, data, and computing, while integrating with the encrypted digital economy. Its ultimate goal is to create a permanent next-generation internet digital economic ecology that is shared by all participants, connecting the digital and physical worlds.
