The Chia network abandons the traditional “Proof of Work” and innovatively adopts “Proof of Space and Time”. This mechanism allows users to “farm” tokens by utilizing idle space on their hard drives, significantly reducing energy consumption, with lower operating costs and being more environmentally friendly.
Using space proof to store random data, combined with time proof to form blocks, the consensus process consumes very little energy. It can even run PB level storage on low-power devices like Raspberry Pi, far superior to the high power consumption characteristics of Bitcoin mining machines, highlighting the value of a green Blockchain.
XCH adopts a halving mechanism similar to Bitcoin, issuing 64 coins every 10 minutes for the first three years, then gradually halving to 8 coins by the 12th year, and fixing the issuance at 4 coins per year starting from the 13th year. This “tail inflation” design helps ensure network security while avoiding excessively high transaction fees.
XCH is positioned as a settlement medium for the “market internet,” with applications covering decentralized finance (DeFi), digital identity and asset issuance (CATs), carbon emission trading (in collaboration with the World Bank), and national-level stablecoin platforms (in cooperation with Costa Rica). The number of global nodes has surpassed that of Bitcoin, demonstrating strong vitality.
XCH represents a new direction in blockchain technology, balancing environmental protection, compliance, and scalability. It is attractive to both individual users and financial institutions and is a high-quality digital asset worth paying attention to.
