Hi guys, Im working on a Crypto project, and I've been researching VDF's for a while now, So I wanted to ask this uestion.
Is it viable for a VDF to be evaluated with much fewer T squarings corresponding to about 100ms – 200ms on a 3Ghz CPU core, While still being sequential. If this is unrealistic, is there another cryptographic solution for this scenario?
CONTEXT: The system I'm building executes computational work for some user, and the results of the execution have to be agreed upon by the decentralized network. But instead of the whole network re-executing, a small committee of nodes are chosen using the VDF.
This VDF enables the nodes to have weight which is calculated by dividing the actual time taken by the node to complete the VDF versus the expected time for a 3ghz CPU core to finish evaluating the VDF (Ideally 100ms – 200ms for reduced latency).
Then the nodes are added to the committee in increasing weight order up to a sum of 100 weight, then the work execution can be done by this commttee on behalf of the network and the result
Verified Delay Functions evaluated in sub-second time
