this is an effort to break down the building blocks of crypsinous blockchain # Crypsinous blockchain Each part $U_p$ stores it's own local view of the Blockchain $C_{loc}^{U_p}$. $C_{loc}$ is a sequence of blocks $B_i$ (i>0), where each $B \in C_{loc}$ $$ B = (tx_{lead},st)$$ $$tx_{lead} = (LEAD,st\overrightarrow{x}_{ref},stx_{proof})$$ $st\overrightarrow{x}_{ref}$ it's a vector of $tx_{lead}$ that aren't yet in $C_{loc}$. $stx_{proof}=(cm_{\prime{c}},sn_c,ep,sl,\rho,h,ptr,\pi)$ the Blocks' $\emph{st}$ is the block data, and $\emph{h}$ is the hash of that data. the commitment of the newly created coin is: $(cm_{\prime{c}},r_{\prime{c}})=COMM(pk^{COIN}||\tau||v_c||\rho_{\prime{c}})$, \emph{$sn_c$} is the coin's serial number revealed to spend the coin. $$sn_c=PRF_{root_{sk}^{COIN}}^{sn}(\rho_c)$$ $$\rho=\eta^{sk_{sl}^{COIN}}$$ $\eta$ is is from random oracle evaluated at $(Nonce||\eta_{ep}||sl)$, $\rho$ is the following epoch's seed. $\emph{ptr}$ is the hash of the previous block, $\pi$ is the NIZK proof of the LEAD statement. ## LEAD statement for $x=(cm_{c_2},sn_{c_1},\eta,sl,\rho,h,ptr,\mu_{\rho},\mu_{y},root)$, and $w=(path,root_{sk^{COIN}},path_{sk^{COIN}},\tau_c,\rho_c,r_{c_1},v,r_{c_2})$ for tuple $(x,w) \in L_{lead}$ iff: * $pk^{COIN} = PRF_{root_{sk^{COIN}}}^{pk}(\tau_c)$. * $\rho_{c_2}=PRF_{root_{sk_{c_1}^{COIN}}}^{evl}(\rho_{c_1})$. * $\forall i \in \{1,2\} : DeComm(cm_{c_i},pk^{COIN}||v||\rho_{c_i},r_{c_i})=T$. * \emph{path} is a valid Merkle tree path to cm_c_1 in the tree with the root \emph{root}. * \emph{$path_{sk^{COIN}}$} is a valid path to a leaf at position $sl-\tau_c$ in a tree with a root $root_{sk^{COIN}}$. * $sn_{c_1}= PRF_{root_{sk}^{COIN}}^{sn}(\rho_{c_1})$ * $y = \mu_{y}^{root_{sk_{c_1}^{COIN}}||\rho_c}$ * $\rho = \mu_{\rho}^{root_{sk_{c_1}^{COIN}}||\rho_c}$ * $y< ord(G)\phi_f(v)$
