Blockchain is now part of our daily lives, providing secure and decentralized solutions for finance, supply chain management, and more.
At the heart of blockchain are consensus mechanisms, which keep the networks reliable and secure. These mechanisms, like Proof of Work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS), validate transactions and the integrity of the network.
A new concept, Useful Proof of Work (uPoW), takes it one step further. It uses the network’s computational power for productive tasks, like training Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). So, in the Qubic ecosystem, the energy spent on security also produces something practical and valuable.
What is uPoW?
Useful Proof of Work (uPoW) is a new way for blockchain networks to do more with the energy they use. Instead of solving random puzzles like traditional Proof of Work (PoW), uPoW uses the energy to train Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). So the computational effort helps to advance machine learning while keeping the networ
