Bitcoin Next Generation (Bitcoin-NG)
Bitcoin Next Generation (Bitcoin-NG) is a blockchain protocol designed by Emin Gün Sirer, the founder of Ava Labs, along with leading computer scientists. It aims to address the perceived scalability and block size limitations of the original Bitcoin network by introducing a Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) approach. While Bitcoin-NG has been incorporated into the Waves and Aeternity blockchain protocols, it does not have its own cryptocurrency.
