Title:
Deterministic Consensus using Overpass Channels in Distributed Ledger Technology

Authors: Brandon "Cryptskii" Ramsay

Abstract:

Presenting a formal analysis of the Overpass protocol’s hierarchical state channel architecture, focusing on its unique approach to state synchronization and tamper detection through cryptographic primitives. The protocol achieves global state consistency without traditional consensus mechanisms by leveraging Sparse Merkle Trees (SMTs), zero-knowledge proofs, and a deterministic hierarchical structure. We provide mathematical proofs of security properties and analyze the protocol’s efficiency in terms of computational and communication complexity.
