How Velas (VLX) Works
Velas is built from two main elements, eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter) from Solana and DPoS consensus mechanism. The former is an architecture-agnostic technology that allows codes to run in a sandboxed virtual machine, making applications both secure and fast. The latter is a consensus mechanism that is more scalable than Proof of Work, more democratic than Proof of Stake, very secure in the event of double-spend attacks, and allegedly the most decentralized consensus mechanism till date.
In Velas, validator nodes do not compete with each other or work alone. They work together in “cluster” with everyone taking turn being the leader, so the network can maintain the integrity of the ledger while securely and efficiently processing transactions.
