## Overview
DarkFi's proof-of-stake blockchain is based on Streamlet, a simplified
proof-of-stake consensus. The current implementation is highly primitive,
for example there is currently no concept of a consensus token. The
blockchain is at the devnet phase, meaning it is running on a local
testnet among the DarkFi community.
DarkFi's current blockchain is based on Streamlet, a very simple consensus
system based on voting between the participating parties. The blockchain
is currently in the devnet phase and has no concept of a consensus token.
In the future, DarkFi plans to upgrade its consensus to a modified verion
of Ouroboros. To accomodate this transition it has designed its data
structures to be easy to upgrade.
Darkfi is actively working to upgrade its consensus to Ouroboros
Crupsinous, a privacy focused proof-of-stake algorithm. To accomodate
this transition it has designed its data structures to be easy to upgrade.
Below is a specification of how DarkFi's blockchain achieves consensus.
