AT2

Asset Transfer System using lightweight broadcast-based primitives instead of consensus

We replace consensus with a lightweight building block -- a broadcast-based primitive -- to obtain a full-fledged asset transfer system (cryptocurrency). This system is more efficient and more scalable compared with Bitcoin and consensus-based solutions. AT2 is the first system to bypass consensus algorithms for implementing asset transfers.
