Technical Whitepaper

Summary

This technical whitepaper outlines the design and security of Möbby, a blockchain and digital asset based on a novel paradigm of proof-of-reputation (PoR) with proof-of-stake (PoS) fallback. Möbby is a layer-one blockchain system built on an academic peer-reviewed paper, developed exclusively by the Möbby team.

By design, Möbby mimics the way humans utilize their beliefs about reliability and credibility of others to improve the quality of services they obtain over the Internet. Similarly, Möbby aims to leverage (globally formed) beliefs about reputation—in an automated manner, by use of novel AI mechanisms—to deliver theoretical improvements in scalability and throughput, while staying dedicated to the team’s core principles: security, transparency, fairness, and simplicity.

Importantly, Möbby is much more than another layer-one blockchain. By employing a sophisticated reward distribution mechanism that rewards high reputation while ensuring fair access to the reward even to newcomers in the system, Möbby aims to create a sustainably reliable reputation system that can sanitize the reputation offered by other services, and provide personalized, high-quality recommendations to its users. The projects dream is to use this technology to redeliver the Internet to its original principles of egalitarianism and transparency as envisioned by its creators.

How does Möbby achieve that? Keep reading to find out!

A Note from the Authors.

This draft goes beyond a typical whitepaper by not only presenting the foundational ideas behind the Möbby Project but also delving into concrete protocols, security arguments, and references to academic papers—both from our team and others. In our view, this is the distinction between a whitepaper and a technical whitepaper like the one you are reading. Nevertheless, the document is structured to ensure that non-experts can grasp the core ideas, while experts can rigorously verify the research behind them. The Möbby Project’s core principles are transparency and contributing to the open domain. This applies to both the science underpinning Möbby and the blockchain’s codebase.
