The brains behind kaspa:native In December 2013, Yonatan Sompolinsky and Aviv Zohar posted GHOST. Title on ePrint: “Accelerating Bitcoin’s Transaction Processing. Fast Money Grows on Trees, Not Chains.” Ethereum’s whitepaper names both men and describes a “Modified GHOST Implementation.” kaspa:native is what they built after that. 'The Kaspa pape'r: November 10, 2021: Sompolinsky, Shai Wyborski, and Zohar, “PHANTOM GHOSTDAG: A Scalable Generalization of Nakamoto Consensus.” ACM AFT. PHANTOM is the ideal. GHOSTDAG is the version a node can compute. Three days earlier, November 7, Kaspa mainnet opened. No premine. PoW. BlockDAG. GHOSTDAG: keep the parallel blocks. Order them. That is how 10 blocks per second is even legal for proof of work. Orphans are not a tax. They are expected. ETH pointed at GHOST by name. The same researchers found GHOST was not enough, wrote the DAG sequel, and shipped it as kaspa:native
