Monoxide: Scale out Blockchains with Asynchronous Consensus Zones
summary
Proposes Asynchronous Consensus Zones that run many independent single‑chain zones to partition state and traffic and claims linear scaling: a testbed of 1,200 VMs emulating 48,000 nodes shows up to 1,000× throughput over Bitcoin/Ethereum and near 10,000 tps with 2,000 zones. Implements cross‑zone relay transactions and an eventual atomicity model (relay carries withdrawal proof, deposit committed later), and a Chu‑ko‑nu mining rule that amplifies effective mining power and prevents focused 51% attacks.
