Namespace for Acki Nacki Blockchain
Acki Nacki is a Rust implementation of a probabilistic proof-of-stake consensus protocol optimized for fast finality, while allowing for high throughputs via execution parallelization. It achieves higher Byzantine fault tolerance than Nakamoto, BFT (including Hotstuff and AptosBFT), Solana, and other modern consensus protocols. The protocol reaches consensus in two communication steps and exchanges a total number of messages per consensus round that is subquadratic in the number of nodes.
Acki Nacki runs AVM (Advanced Virtual Machine) supporting both Ton Virtual Machine (TVM) and WASM execution environments. It features a DApp ID system for gasless internal transactions, ECC (Extra Currency Collection) token transfers, and native support for AI agent operations.
Rationale
The acknacki namespace (8 characters, the CAIP-2 maximum) identifies
the Acki Nacki blockchain family. The reference field uses the
global_id integer from the block header, which uniquely identifies
each network (mainnet, shellnet/testnet).
A separate namespace from tvm is necessary because:
- Acki Nacki runs AVM supporting TVM and WASM, evolving beyond TVM
- The DApp ID threading model is unique to Acki Nacki
- The consensus mechanism is specific to Acki Nacki
- Address format uses DApp ID routing, not workchain IDs
Governance
Acki Nacki core protocol developer is GOSH. Protocol specifications and node software are open source at github.com/ackinacki/ackinacki. Network updates are performed bitcoin-style — node owners update their nodes to a newest version at will. There is no DAO, foundation or governance body.
The consensus protocol is formally described in a peer-reviewed publication at ACNS 2024 (Springer).
