Avalanche is breaking out of its long accumulation phase, fueled by a treasury initiative worth billions. And then there is MAGACOIN FINANCE, an emerging force that builds a sense of urgency with promises of outsized returns and rapid presale progress. However, the market is still lacking a clear driver, even though traders are starting to pick their positions. Solana and Avalanche are bringing a level of credibility and strength,…

Our current proof of work design, blockchain-based proof of work, is the second iteration of our attempt to create a mining algorithm that is guaranteed to remain CPU-friendly and resistant to optimization by specialized hardware (ASICs) in the long term. Our first attempt, Dagger, tried to take the idea of memory-hard algorithms like Scrypt one step further by creating an algorithm which is memory-hard to compute, but memory-easy to verify, using directed acyclic graphs (basically, trees where each node has multiple parents). Our current strategy takes a much more rigorous track: make the proof of work involve executing random contracts…
