Understanding The First Principle of Blockchain

With the continuous development of blockchain research, although most blockchains still follow the traditional block + chain structure, some blockchains designed with first principles have also emerged. First-principle thinking starts from the most basic conditions, analyzes the components of concepts, and seeks the optimal path to achieve goals. In the field of blockchain, the first principle is considered a new accounting method, which starts from the most fundamental decentralized accounting method and has a unique data structure and consensus. For example, the two different blockchain designs of Sui and Arweave AO. Sui is an object-oriented data model centered on "faster accounting services", while Arweave AO is essentially a decentralized computing system, or a decentralized cloud service, which is the infrastructure for running accounting services.
