Blockchain-based Consensus Study on Distributed Control Systems*

In this paper, two blockchain-based consensus mechanisms are proposed for distributed control systems, those are the proof-of-work-based (PoW-based) and proof-of-stake-based (PoS-based) consensus mechanisms. The basic idea and process of these blockchain-based consensus mechanisms are introduced, giving rise to the dynamic, impartial and efficient consensus compared with the consensus protocol achieved by traditional control theories.
