Offer Description
Title of the project: "Energy-efficent blockchains via reversibility". The postdoc fellow will study how to improve the energy consumption of blockchains by using reversible computing, which avoids the Landauer limit specifying a lower bound on the energy needed to perform an irreversible computation. More in details, (s)he will study how to make reversible or partially reversible the main algorithms used in blockchains, starting from the SHA-256 algorithm at the base of the proof-of-work algorithm of Bitcoin. (S)He will also study the use of reversibility to implement rollback features in the context of smart contracts. Finally, (s)he will participate to the administrative management of the E-CoRe project, collaborating to activities such as deliverables preparation and network events organization.
