Who are the founders of Elrond?

Who are the founders of Elrond?

Elrond was co-founded in late 2017 by brothers Beniamin and Lucian Mincu alongside Lucian Todea as a solution to the problem of blockchain scalability, which they thought to be the most pressing problem facing the industry.

  • Elrond is built by a team of experienced entrepreneurs, engineers and researchers with significant blockchain backgrounds and technical experience at Microsoft, Google, Intel, and NTT DATA.
  • The team includes two PhDs in CS & AI, multiple math, CS, and AI Olympiad champions, and a former member of the NEM core team.

How Is the Elrond Network Secured?

  • Elrond uses what it calls a secure proof-of-stake consensus algorithm in which nodes must stake their EGLD tokens to participate in the validation process, and each validator is assigned a rating score based on past activity.
  • Validators are randomly selected in a way that can be neither predicted nor modified based on the previous round of validations. 
  • Nodes communicate among one another using modified Boneh-Lynn-Shacham, or BLS, multi-signatures for strong cryptographic protection.

What Makes Elrond Unique?

Elrond employs random sampling of validators and block proposer every round from the shard nodes.

This way the time the validators are exposed is limited to one round (5 seconds), so only 1 Globally Predictable, which increases the security of Elrond against bribing and DDoS compared to Ethereum.

According to its economics paper, it seeks to build up its ecosystem and establish EGLD as a store-of-value asset.
