Let PoW 2.0 guard the initial dream of blockchain Do you still remember your dream back then? Why do we need to develop blockchain? Do you still believe in a decentralized, permissionless, trustless, and verifiable fair network? When PoS sweeps through everything, the agreement governance model with money the final say deceives itself and prevails, do you think the blockchain can still be saved? Most people gave up, but Psy didn't. Let's sneak in! ⬇️ Sorting out the development trajectory of blockchain is actually a bit strange. In order to solve the problem of blockchain expansion and find a cleaner and more economical model, PoS was introduced, and history has been moving in this direction without hesitation. No one has ever reflected on whether this is reasonable or whether it can still stick to its original intention. In fact, today's blockchain has already lost most of its promises, and it is fortunate to be able to retain a Permissionless one. PoS has also become PoM, and having money is everything. If understood concisely, Vitalik's proposal of the impossible triangle of blockchain should be the starting point for all contradictory thinking. Since decentralization, scalability, and security cannot be owned simultaneously, why not choose one or both and do it first? So we saw Solana, megaETH, and BNB Chain. Nowadays, stablecoins, AI agents, and RWAs have put forward higher requirements for blockchain from the demand side, and the vast majority of PoS cannot support new usage scenarios. From a different perspective, if the huge portion of public chains we are using today stagnate, they will soon be eliminated. I can see many struggling and hardworking public chains, such as Aptos and Sei, but to be honest, the infrastructure is still far from complete. From a technical perspective, there are two solutions. One is to constantly explore patching, scaling, or cheating on sidechains. The other is to start from scratch, use first principles, and once again, reconstruct the blockchain network. @ PsyProtocol, but this courage is already precious. What is Psy? It is a Layer 1 public chain, an account model centered on intelligent agents that integrates large-scale scalability, useful workload proof and no trust. It is shaping the future of the Internet. Scalability of 1 million TPS ZK Zero Knowledge Mathematical Proof Security PoUW driven fully decentralized new model This is Psy's positive response to The Blockchain Trilemma's solution and data performance. Let's break it down a bit to understand. PARTH Architecture The traditional blockchain architecture is global, and the storage method of state is that all users share a global state. A transaction may affect the global operation, and reading data is also a global operation. In layman's terms, this is like everyone editing a Tencent document together, and everyone can operate synchronously/asynchronously. To avoid conflicts, it is necessary to add many additional restriction rules to the document. The more people, the more rules, and the greater the running pressure. Psy adopts a new architecture, with the core highlight being "state isolation". Each user has their own independent "personal state tree", which does not affect each other during transactions. Reading data can also be viewed by user or partition block, resulting in higher efficiency. They call this architecture the PARTH architecture, which includes "Parallel Parallel", "Ascending Incremental", "Recursive", "Tree Tree", and "Hierarchy". End to end ZKPs Now using ZK zero knowledge proofs on public chains is equivalent to skipping levels. Under the new public chain mechanism, users can execute transactions locally and generate proofs. The blockchain network recursively compresses millions of proofs into one, greatly reducing verification time to milliseconds, making it very suitable for high-frequency transactions. Proof of Useful Work for PoUW The 2.0 version of Proof of Useful Work of PoW first abandons invalid calculations that waste computing power. Miners calculate "useful" data every time, mainly thanks to ZKPs and PARTH, which make verification and state data more concise and effective. Only in this way can Psy have transaction security, network scalability, and data availability features. After these three underlying architecture adjustments, Psy has not stopped innovating, and this thinking coincides with my recent research direction, which is the application scenario of the next generation blockchain - AI Agent. Psy has built an account model centered around intelligent agents, which means that each agent is equivalent to a person in traditional blockchain, and they can also have digital accounts, state storage, and different permissions. As a result, Agentic Payment and Fully Onchain DeFAI have become a reality, and this is also the first time I have seen a public chain with a similar approach to @ gokiteai, which further proves that this direction will be a battleground for military strategists. / What are the perspectives for participation? The most important way to directly participate now is to first join the Testnet Waiting List, which includes a Psychonaut Incubation Program activity. You can complete social tasks first, follow @ PsychoProtocol, and join DC to get updates in a timely manner. The testing network should be opened up in the future, and early participation should be able to receive PoW mining rewards.
