Zamora Whitepaper
A comprehensive guide to the revolutionary Proof of Time consensus mechanism and the future of temporal blockchain technology
Executive Summary
What is Zamora?
Zamora is an enterprise-grade Layer-1 blockchain achieving 100,000+ TPS with sub-second finality through revolutionary Proof of Time (PoT) consensus. By combining VDF (Verifiable Delay Functions), DTB (Distributed Time Beacon), and BLS12-381 cryptography, Zamora matches Solana's performance while eliminating energy waste.
Why Zamora?
Built with Rust and production-ready storage (RocksDB), Zamora delivers enterprise security with HSM integration, threshold signatures, and VRF-based leader election. Our innovative time-based consensus reduces orphan blocks by 50-69% compared to PoH, ensuring unprecedented network stability.
