Being based on high-performance nodes, SPoS will enable a huge rise in the speed, scalability and security of blockchain tech against a 51% attack. Our mainnet of 15 supernodes has been up and running since September with a high degree of resilience and industrial-level TPS , so we’re speeding ahead to the next stages.
For better understanding, read the V SYSTEMS SPoS consensus white paper from here:
https://www.v.systems/pdf/sposwhitepaper.pdf
VSYS Coins' supernodes are elected among coin holders. Similar to mining pools for Bitcoin, the role of supernodes is to take on the heavy lifting of the mining work (in V SYSTEMS' case, minting instead of mining). In Bitcoin's case, the true benefits go to the miners; and in our case, the coin owners. The majority of supernode minting reward in V SYSTEMS is given to coin owners who leased their coins to supernodes for minting. Sunny King designed this logic to better align with Satoshi's initial vision of giving mining/minting rights to actual coin owners. If anyone's interested in learning more about how supernode / minting is benefiting coin owners, we would recommend giving a read to the SPoS whitepaper: https://www.v.systems/pdf/sposwhitepaper.pdf
Take a look at how our flow of VSYS Coins in coin leasing and minting!
Sunny King: Blockchain needs to be easier
And this is very true, blockchain is hard enough to understand and talk about, let alone build. Sunny King says the sector needs to make it easier for anyone, even those from non-technical backgrounds, to create their own distributed ledgers.

We've just published our latest story detailing the four major pillars that V SYSTEMS is built upon and what benefits they are bringing to the market.
2. Blockchain databases --> Multiple purposes
3. Cloud & modular --> Easy Deployment
4. VSYS Coins --> High Sustainability
