A slide deck introducing the 'Blockchain Trilemma'—the trade-off between security, scalability, and decentralization. It compares PoW and PoS with emerging consensus mechanisms like DPoS and PoH.
Protocol Showdown Matrix
A student research matrix for comparing different consensus protocols. Students evaluate mechanisms based on the Blockchain Trilemma criteria and apply their knowledge to hypothetical consulting scenarios.
Consensus Check Quiz
A comprehensive end-of-sequence quiz covering consensus mechanisms, the double-spending problem, PoW vs. PoS, and the Blockchain Trilemma. Includes multiple-choice and critical-thinking short-answer questions.
Final Review Facilitator
A final teacher guide for Lesson 5. Includes analogies for the Blockchain Trilemma, an answer key for the unit quiz, and facilitation notes for the 'Consultant Challenge' discussion.
