What if everything you know about blockchain scaling is wrong? What if proof-of-work could outperform proof-of-stake at massive scale while maintaining true decentralization?
In Episode 2 of our Quai Network deep dive, CTO Dr. K breaks down their revolutionary PoEM (Proof of Entropy Minima) consensus mechanism - a next-generation proof-of-work algorithm that eliminates selfish mining, enables instant finality, and scales to 100,000+ TPS through merge mining and sharding.
We explore:
- Why proof-of-work is the ONLY way to truly scale (controversial take)
- How PoEM solves Bitcoin's selfish mining problem
- The genius of merge mining across Prime, Region, and Zone chains
- Why their approach could replace Visa/MasterCard
- GPU mining vs ASIC centralization
- Building circular economies without fiat on-ramps
This isn't just another scaling solution - it's a complete reimagining of what's possible with proof-of-work. Dr. K doesn't just explain the tech; he proves why everything else is a compromise.
The future of money might look very different than you think.
