Transaction Processing ​

Overview ​

QuStream’s Layer 1 blockchain is designed for fast, efficient, and quantum-safe transaction processing. By leveraging delegated Proof-of-Stake (dPoS), parallel processing, and encryption nodes, the network ensures secure and scalable execution of transactions.

How Transactions Are Processed in QuStream ​

QuStream transactions can be initiated by blockchain users, institutional clients, or third-party integrations, ensuring flexibility across different industries.

1️⃣ Transaction Submission ​

  • A user submits a transaction request (e.g., sending QST, executing a smart contract, or requesting encryption).
  • The request is broadcasted to the Validator Nodes for validation.

2️⃣ Validation & Block Inclusion ​

  • Validator Nodes verify:
    ✅ Transaction authenticity (ensuring it follows consensus rules).
    ✅ Sufficient balance (for payments and gas fees).
    ✅ Encryption security (if encryption services are used).
  • Valid transactions are batched into blocks and proposed for finalization.

3️⃣ Encryption Node Interaction ​

  • If encryption services are required (e.g., private transaction or key request):
    • Validator Nodes send the encryption request to Encryption Nodes.
    • Encryption Nodes generate a quantum-safe dynamic key.
    • The generated key is securely returned to the approved device/user.

4️⃣ Block Finalization & State Update ​

  • Transactions are finalized within seconds using dPoS consensus.
  • The blockchain state is updated to reflect new balances, smart contract states, and encryption records.
  • Users receive confirmation that their transaction has been successfully recorded.

Why QuStream’s Transaction Processing is Unique ​

✅ Quantum-Safe Encryption Integration
Unlike traditional blockchains, QuStream validates and secures encryption requests within its transaction layer.

✅ Dual-Network Processing (Validators & Encryption Nodes)
Separation of blockchain validation and encryption tasks ensures high efficiency and enhanced security.

✅ Fast Finality & Low Latency
Delegated Proof-of-Stake (dPoS) allows transactions to be confirmed within seconds, reducing bottlenecks.

✅ Scalability with Sharding
Transactions & encryption requests are processed in parallel, reducing congestion and improving throughput.

Conclusion ​

QuStream’s transaction processing model combines speed, security, and quantum resistance, ensuring that every blockchain interaction remains encrypted, efficient, and future-proof.
