Predictive Proof of Metrics – a New Blockchain Consensus Protocol

We present a new consensus protocol for Blockchain ecosystems - PPoM - Predictive Proof of Metrics. First, we describe the motivation for PPoM - why we need it. Then, we outline its architecture, components, and operation. As part of this, we detail our reputation and reward based approach to bring about consensus in the Blockchain. We also address security and scalability for a PPoM based Blockchain, and discuss potential improvements for future work. Finally, we present measurements for our short term Provider Prediction engine.
