Alephium: Re-engineering PoW with Sharding & 8s Block Times
While many have moved to PoS, Alephium is proving that Proof-of-Work can still be the gold standard for L1s if built correctly. With the recent Danube Upgrade, we've achieved 8-second block times while maintaining the security of sharded PoW.
Key Technical Pillars:
BlockFlow Sharding: Native sharding that scales to 20,000+ TPS without the bridge-risks of other chains.
Stateful UTXO (sUTXO): Combines BTC security with ETH programmability. No more reentrancy hacks.
PoLW: 87% energy reduction compared to traditional PoW.
What are your thoughts on PoW sharding? Is it the sustainable path for L1 scaling?
