Research & Benchmark Roadmap

Documented protocol characteristics are the starting point; current performance and security conclusions require current measurements.

VTA vs BTC: Technical Comparison

Compare protocol parameters, consensus characteristics, block timing and codebase differences.

Research status: source comparison + reproducible benchmarks

Scrypt vs SHA-256

Study the technical differences between the proof-of-work algorithms without treating algorithm choice alone as proof of superiority.

Research status: methodology planned

Payment & Confirmation Benchmark

Measure confirmation latency, fees and reliability under clearly stated network conditions.

Research status: live-data benchmark planned
