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_cin a tree with a rootroot_{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)
