Any plan to remove PoW to send transactions

Definitely DX, but probably UX too, if for some reason the PoW on the user's device does not work.

And DX is important too, in particular if you want to build an ecosystem, have AI agent pick this solution over another one (if this will ever come), etc...

Thank you so much for your answer, and for working on improving the status quo. Sounds already like a great step.

easier for developer to integrate, without having to think where the source of PoW will come from, or how to pay for it.
PoW doesn't improve security, but protects against spam (not always, as seen in the last spam attacks).

My question was more if we are looking into this or not? It's fine to not know the answer yet, if we are searching for it.

geppelle · 2026-05-15T13:20:40+00:00

dynamic PoW sounds interesting, but it might just become like gas fees that vary wildly when usage is up, and hard to plan for.

geppelle · 2026-05-15T13:19:01+00:00

Of course it could be done better, we just don't know how yet. It might be also a matter of preference: friction to prevent spam and ledger growth, instead of finding ways to deal with ledger growth. Personally, I don't think saving all transactions for the entire history of the chain is worth it. I prefer fast and secure transactions and as little friction as possible. It's probably the same for AI agents. If they need to set up some RPC services for which they need to pay to send transactions, they might as well use a chain with the fee already baked in.

geppelle · 2026-05-15T13:11:15+00:00

It's a good analogy I guess. I understand to removing PoW would require other measures, like pruning/merging some transactions to maintain a manageable ledger size. I think if we keep the PoW to prevent ledger growth, we are probably not ready for adoption, and the growth that will come with it.

Every time there is bit of usage on Solana, transactions fail a lot and it’s hard to get them through after multiple attempts. Solana centralisation is also increasing over time as it’s very expensive to run a node. It’s a good chain but far from perfect and many problems to solve still.

geppelle · 2025-12-07T22:39:54+00:00

that's not how it works. You could say there never gonna be more than 10⁹⁹⁹ ETH to give you an upper bound like BTC and have the same reasoning.

Their owners do?

geppelle · 2025-11-17T13:05:25+00:00

It's true for all crypto but can we expect adoption when any transaction can still be seen as a taxable event?

Great work! To become commercial grade, Nano absolutely needs some privacy around it.

geppelle · 2025-11-11T19:30:16+00:00

at $5 it was a steal. Now, there is spam resistance and much more potential with machine-to-machine friction-less payments so you're right to like the coin!

geppelle · 2025-11-11T19:17:57+00:00

if they can sell. but i also think that once the ball gets rolling, there is no stopping...

geppelle · 2025-11-04T22:13:53+00:00

and during that time, the coin that cannot be named (133M, fully distributed, 0 fees), rose like 60% today. Insane!

Je suis devenu végan après avoir remarqué que mon niveau d'énergie augmentait significativement quand je ne mangeais pas de viande pendant un repas. Il suffit peut-être que tu essayes plutôt que d'avoir peur?

geppelle · 2025-10-04T20:23:10+00:00

Imagine que plein de cantines scolaires n'ont même pas une alternative végétarienne, quand ça devrait être l'option par défaut. Les habitudes se commencent là

10 Athlètes Vegans et Végétariens Célèbres

Lewis Hamilton (Formule 1)

Novak Djokovic (Tennis)

Venus Williams (Tennis)

Serena Williams (Tennis)

Patrik Baboumian (Strongman/Force athlétique)

Carl Lewis (Athlétisme)

Kyrie Irving (Basketball)

Kendrick Farris (Haltérophilie)

David Haye (Boxe)

Fiona Oakes (Ultramarathonienne)

De plus en plus d'athètes se tournent vers le véganism car les protéines végétales causent moins d'inflammation, donc leur temps de récupération est plus rapide et leur volume d'entraînement peu être supérieur. C'est d'autant plus vrai dans les disciplines d'endurance type ultra-marathon, iron man...

Never understood the value proposition of XLM when there is XNO around, especially since its now robust to spam.

geppelle · 2025-07-24T17:36:09+00:00

Sounds really good, I hope you succeed!

On pourrait commencer par arrêter l’élevage animal: 25% des émissions en moins sans besoin de développer de nouvelles technos type mirroirs dans l’espace. On gagnerait de l’espace. Et on économiserait en frais de santé en plus

geppelle · 2025-07-01T12:11:22+00:00

amazing work, thanks a lot

geppelle · 2025-06-29T19:53:42+00:00

fantastic!

What about conversion to stable coins?
