I wanted to share some updates regarding 3DPass and its consensus protocol, Proof of Scan V2. There's currently a lot of discussion about the centralisation of mining due to large mining pools and specialised hardware. There is probably no PoW blockchain that is not affected by this, whether it be huge stock exchange-listed mining companies or cryptojacking via malware that has infected computers in the hundreds of thousands. The list of challenges for the everyday Joe goes on and on.
Nearly two years have passed since the launch of the Proof of Scan consensus protocol, which introduced a hybrid consensus model combining PoW, recognition technology, and Proof of Authority (PoA). While the PoA component has progressed smoothly, the PoW aspect has faced ongoing challenges due to efforts to centralise the network through monopolistic mining practices.
Introducing Proof of Scan V2
3DPass is a Layer 1 blockchain platform that focuses on tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs) through advanced 3D object recognition technology. To address the centralisation issues plaguing traditional mining, the team has developed and released Proof of Scan V2, an upgraded consensus protocol designed to be:
ASIC, FPGA, and GPU Resistant
Pool Resistant
CPU friendly and accessible to everyday usersYou can find technical details in this Hackernoon article:
