Quai's new consensus mechanism, Proof-of-Entropy-Minima (PoEM), is a small modification to Nakamoto Consensus that opens the door to infinite multi-chain coordination Let's learn how👇 1/

An orphan block is a valid block that is not included in the canonical blockchain, and is essentially "thrown out." These blocks occur when two valid blocks are proposed near-simultaneously, and nodes are forced to select one over the other. 7/

When this occurs, nodes will simply prefer whichever block they saw first. Oftentimes, this will lead to ~50% of the network mining one of the proposed blocks, with the remainder of the network mining the other proposed block. 9/

Merged mining, despite being nearly as old as the concept of "mining" itself, is far less commonly understood. Let's break down what merged mining is, and how it can be used to scale blockchains. ⛏️ 1/🧵

Through the use of merged mining, which randomly creates coincident blocks, Quai Network eliminates the current risks associated with multi-chain scalability. 13/

Are all chains in Quai the same? How is Quai Network structured? Let's answer these questions by diving into Quai Network's Prime, Region, and Zone chains 1/🧵

Each Zone chain has a "byte prefix," meaning that the first 4 characters of each address/contract is used to determine which blockchain's EVM can modify it. This ensures that each Zone chain has its own set of addresses and contracts that no other Zone chain EVM can modify. 9/

The initial structure of Quai will have the Prime chain, 3 Region chains, and 9 Zone chains. However, due to Quai's ability to dynamically shard, the number of chains in the network (and thus available throughput) can grow with demand. 13/

#1: Proof-of-Entropy-Minima (PoEM) PoEM, Quai's new consensus mechanism, has been implemented since the Bronze Age. PoEM allows for the coordination of infinite chains within the network. Prior to PoEM, Quai had a hard limit on the number of chains that could be coordinated. 2/

#2: External Transactions (ETXs) While Quai's Bronze Age Testnet supported cross-chain transactions, the rules and standards surrounding gas, atomicity, reference-ability, and more have been updated and implemented. 3/

#4: Stateless Prime/Region Chains The original architecture of Quai held state in the Prime and Region chains. Now, Zone chains are now the only chains that carry state (have accounts and transactions), and thus are the only chains users directly interact with. 5/
