The core principles and advantages of PoH mechanism
PoH (Proof of History) confirms the chronological order of transactions by generating verifiable timestamp sequences, and its core process consists of two steps:
Transaction sorting: The system assigns unique sequence numbers to transactions in chronological order, forming an immutable chain of historical records;
State synchronization: Nodes only need to verify the transaction sequence they receive and complete global state updates through local consensus.
Comparison between Traditional Mechanisms and PoH
Traditional mode (such as Bitcoin’s PoW):
Similar to a single queue at the entrance of a restaurant, all transactions need to wait for verification by all nodes before they can be processed;
Inefficient: Just like a waiter who must complete the previous group’s order before receiving the next group, it leads to network congestion.
PoH mode:
Adopting a pre assigned serial number mechanism, similar to issuing number plates to customers, to clarify transaction priorities;
Parallel processing: Nodes can independently verify the transaction sequences they receive without waiting for global synchronization, greatly improving throughput.
Technological breakthroughs brought by PoH
Solana achieves through PoH:
Low latency: Transactions enter the processing queue instantly without waiting for consensus across the entire network;
Resource optimization: reduce duplicate verification between nodes, lower computation and bandwidth consumption;
Scalability: lays the foundation for processing tens of thousands of transactions per second (TPS).
