Exploring a Blockchain Protocol Utilizing Visualization Tactics

Despite the growing interest in blockchain technology, many visualizations are limited to displaying data scraped from the blockchain and fail to educate individuals on basic blockchain components and their functionalities. To address these limitations, it is imperative to develop visualizations that offer comprehensive insights into these domains. Our research focuses on providing conceptual understanding to the consensus process that underlies blockchain technology. This is accomplished through the implementation of a dynamic network visualization and an interactive educational tool. Further, a controlled user study is conducted to measure the effectiveness and usability of each tool. The findings demonstrate that our tools represent significant advancements in the field of blockchain visualization, effectively catering to the educational needs of both novice and proficient users
