 This reflects both in the poor performance of the Bitcoin platform as well as in its high energy costs. This reflects both in the poor performance of the Bitcoin platform as well as in its high energy costs.
 We showed that this building block is unnecessary,​ namely that implementing decentralized asset transfers does not require consensus. We showed that this building block is unnecessary,​ namely that implementing decentralized asset transfers does not require consensus.

 We introduce AT2 (**Asynchronous Trustworthy Transfers**),​ a class of algorithms for solving asset transfers in various models (shared memory, as well as in the deterministic & probabilistic message-passing models). We introduce AT2 (**Asynchronous Trustworthy Transfers**),​ a class of algorithms for solving asset transfers in various models (shared memory, as well as in the deterministic & probabilistic message-passing models).
  
 This result highlights the importance of studying distributed systems from first principles. We are currently working on several AT2 implementations. This result highlights the importance of studying distributed systems from first principles.
