Taipan: a block-chain with democratic consensus and validated contracts

区块链通过使用点对点和加密算法的大规模协作来保存记录。可编程区块链技术可以通过减少银行和政府当局等中介机构的作用来扰乱金融行业、治理和法律服务。该项目旨在为“个体参与者之间的信任”（TAIPAN）提出一种新的区块链。TAIPAN可编程区块链的主要特点是当前区块链所缺乏的个人所有权记录的完整性和安全性。该项目旨在克服当前可编程区块链中的两大威胁，即参与者之间的双重支出和智能合约中的安全漏洞。TAIPAN将提供一个民主和无领导的共识算法，以避免双重支出，并为智能合约提供一个新的错误检查框架，在智能合约被允许进入区块链之前发现异常。

Blockchains keep records by mass collaboration using peer-to-peer and cryptographical algorithms. Programmable blockchain technology can disrupt the finance industry, governance, and legal services by reducing the role for intermediaries such as banks and government authorities. This project aims to propose a new block-chain for “Trust Among Individual ParticipANts” (TAIPAN). The main feature of TAIPAN’s programmable block-chain is the integrity and security of individual ownership records that current block-chains lack. This project will aim to overcome two major threats in current programmable block-chains, double-spending among participants, and security vulnerabilities in smart contracts. TAIPAN will provide a democratic and leaderless consensus algorithm that will avoid double-spending, and a new bug-checking framework for smart contracts that finds anomalies before smart contracts are admitted to the block-chain.
