The goal of the paper is to consider and discuss many ways of removing the Coordinator mechanism that helps to attain network consensus.

The abstract of the paper reads as follows:

“Getting rid of the Coordinator in the IOTA Tangle is a challenging task, especially regarding the network trustworthiness. Using acustomized testbed, we experimentally analyse the functioning of the GoShimmer, IOTA’s current implementation of the decentralised Tangle, with respect to specific network performance metrics.

“We observe that a trade-off exists among such metrics. We thus propose to determine the optimal rate allocation through an optimization problem maximizing network performance and user utility. We further propose a distributed and asynchronous scheme to allow nodes to solve such problem.”
