Resumo

Neste trabalho detalhamos um estudo sobre os principais mecanismos de consenso já propostos para blockchains e avaliamos seus pontos fortes e fracos O principal objetivo é mostrar que requisitos um novo mecanismo deveria possuir a fim de facilitar a participação de usuários comuns nos processos de construção de blocos e manutenção do blockchain.
