The PoEM Consensus Mechanism: ACSAC 2023 Keynote Presentations
December 9 2023Quai co-founder Dr. K was invited to give a keynote presentation at the 39th Annual Computer Security Applications Conference (ACSAC) in December 2023.
October 16 2023In this recording of Quai University Call #11, Quai co-founder Dr. K introduces the concept of “Intrinsic Value Tokens,” or tokens derived from real-world assets in a fully decentralized manner.
July 31 2023In this recording of Quai University Call #10, Quai co-founder Dr. K explains why Quai Network uses a work-based consensus mechanism (PoEM), rather than a Proof-of-Stake model.
June 16 2023In this recording of Quai University Call #9, Quai co-founder Dr. K details the concept of “mined transactions” for the first time, explaining how they can reduce the impacts of MEV in Quai.
June 6 2023In this recording of Quai University Call #8, Quai co-founder Dr. K explains what kind of sharding is used in Quai Network to achieve infinite scale.
May 17 2023In this recording of Quai University Call #7, Quai co-founder Dr. K dives into subnets: what they are, and how they are used to scale in Quai Network.
May 5 2023In this recording of Quai University Call #6, Quai co-founder Dr. K goes over the many new technologies that have been implemented to Quai Network.
April 26 2023In this recording of Quai University Call #5, Quai co-founder Dr. K explains how the Proof-of-Entropy-Minima (PoEM) consensus mechanism enables perpetual consensus amongst Quai nodes.
Security & Interoperability in Disparate Scaling Topologies
March 22 2023With Ethereum adoption the need for scaling solutions to enable high throughput web3 applications is greater than ever. However, current scaling solutions (i.e. optimism, zk-snarks, and rollups) introduce non-obvious security and interoperability challenges that need to be addressed. This talk highlights some of the security and interoperability challenges and proposes a novel mechanism for creating trust-less composable bridges in a multi blockchain environment.
February 6 2023Interested in Quai Network and Crypto but don’t know where to start? Check out this Quai Network 101 course taught by Dr. K, which also acts as an introduction to why blockchains are important and how Quai Network is taking a revolutionary approach to scaling and security.
November 16 2022Texas Blockchain, the undergraduate blockchain organization at the University of Texas at Austin, invited Alan Orwick, co-founder of Quai Network, to join their Layer 1 Consensus debate on November 2nd to advocate on the side of Proof-of-Work. Alan was joined in the debate by representatives from Tron, NEAR, and Hiro.
December 5 2021BlockReduce is the protocol in which Quai Network utilizes to scale blockchains. The BlockReduce began as research at The University of Texas at Austin in 2018. The protocol itself has evolved several times over to where it is now.
This presentation is from the 2018 Texas Blockchain Activities and Research Showcase.
