As the blockchain landscape continues to evolve, the debate over scalability, sustainability, and decentralization remains at the forefront. Many existing networks struggle with rising transaction fees, validator centralization, and inflationary tokenomics that erode long-term value. TAN Blockchain, an EVM-compatible Layer-1 network, is addressing these challenges with a revolutionary approach: a Block Per Reward Proof of Stake (BPoS) consensus mechanism combined with an Inflation Protection Model designed to sustain long-term network efficiency and economic stability.

By integrating a Block Per Reward Proof of Stake (BPoS) consensus mechanism with an Inflation Protection Model, TAN aims to resolve many of the persistent challenges that have hindered blockchain growth. The result is a network designed for both efficiency and longevity, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional Proof-of-Stake (PoS) and Proof-of-Work (PoW) systems.

The Challenge of Existing Blockchain Models

Most blockchain networks operate under one of two primary consensus mechanisms:

• Proof-of-Work (PoW): The original consensus model used by Bitcoin, PoW relies on computational power to validate transactions. While secure, it is energy-intensive and slow, leading to concerns about scalability and environmental impact.

• Proof-of-Stake (PoS): Introduced as a more energy-efficient alternative, PoS allows validators to stake tokens to participate in block validation. However, PoS often leads to wealth concentration, where those with the largest stakes control the network, creating centralization risks.

TAN’s BPoS model refines the PoS mechanism by prioritizing active participation over stake size, ensuring a more decentralized validator network while maintaining efficiency.

What Makes TAN’s BPoS Different?

TAN’s Block Per Reward Proof of Stake (BPoS) introduces a fundamental shift in validator incentives. Unlike traditional PoS, where staking rewards are tied to the number of tokens held, BPoS rewards validators based on the number of blocks they propose and secure, not just their stake size.

This approach offers several advantages:

• Fair Validator Rewards: Smaller validators have the same earning potential as larger ones, reducing the risk of wealth-based centralization.

• High-Speed Transactions: With 5-second block times, TAN achieves near-instant transaction finality.

• Secure & Decentralized: BPoS maintains strong network security while preventing the formation of validator monopolies.

By aligning validator incentives with network security rather than wealth accumulation, TAN’s BPoS model encourages a broader, more diverse group of participants to secure the network.
