In this video we offer a short introduction (six-minutes) to the problems that Saito solves and provide a high-level overview of...

Talking to people about Saito, particularly people with good understandings of Proof of Work and Proof of Stake, we sometimes hear...

Saito uses routing work to secure the blockchain rather than hashing or staking. But what is routing work? In Saito, nodes...

In a few paragraphs we’ll explain why Saito is the key to delivering Web3 and how our work with the Web3...

We need to go intellectual today, with a post about collective action problems like the tragedy of the commons and the...

This blog post explains how to build a proof-of-work blockchain without 51% attacks. Bear in mind this is a pure proof-of-work...

A magician doesn’t normally reveal their tricks. But Saito is less magic than science. In this post we’re going to open...

The double-spend attack is not the same as the 51 percent attack. It is strange to have to make this point...

Adding cryptographic signatures to Saito transactions eliminates the 50 percent attack, but increases the size of transactions. Given that adding a...

When people talk about the “difficulty” of attacking proof-of-work and proof-of-stake networks they are really talking about cost. This is because...

If you’re into blockchain, it’s unlikely you’ve heard of Mancur Olson. Yet his importance to the field is unmatched by any...

Most people believe that scaling a blockchain is a technical problem. This isn’t at all true — the problem is economic. This...
