Mining in Testnets isn't always easy... But someone's got to do it!
Shoutout to all of the Quai Testnet miners helping work through issues and improve the mining process in the earliest days of the network 🤝
Keep an eye on the Quai Network Galxe Space to earn Mainnet Quai rewards! 🌌
Each point in the Galxe Space will be redeemable for some amount of Quai tokens on Mainnet. Start stacking up points today!👇

The wallet you choose to use to interact with Quai will determine much of what your experience with the network is like, due to both the new architecture and capabilities of Quai.
Are you currently using @KoalaWallet or @PelagusWallet? What improvements do you have to suggest?
Another Quai University Call with @mechanikalk has been scheduled for this Wednesday!
This call will focus on the differences between UTXO and account-based models, and how Quai will operate both in tandem. Set your reminder in the Quai Discord👇

Quai Network's Iron Age Testnet will be the first time smart contracts and decentralized applications can be deployed on Quai.
That means in the Iron Age Testnet, we'll see plenty of "firsts":
* The first NFT deployed on Quai
* The first ERC-20/QRC-20 deployed on Quai
1/2
* The first multi-chain Quai NFT collection
* The first multi-chain ERC-20/QRC-20 contract
* The first Quai to ERC-20/QRC-20 swap
* The first NFT marketplace on Quai
* The first Quai memecoin
And more! 👀
Which "first" are you most looking forward to?

In 2022, many Web2 companies ventured into Web3, with Twitter integrating NFT PFPs, Starbucks using Polygon NFTs for a rewards program, and many more examples.
Which companies do you think have done the best job integrating crypto/NFTs into their business?
The latest developer roundup brought a big update to mining.
Quai Network will be using the ProgPoW mining algorithm in the Iron Age Testnet.
What is ProgPoW? Why use ProgPoW over Blake3?
Let's dive in👇
1/🧵
Through the use of ProgPoW, Quai Network will severely limit the effectiveness of ASICs and create an even playing field for miners by using widely distributed and accessible hardware.

What are your thoughts on ProgPow?
10/10
ProgPoW was designed to be more ASIC resistant than Ethash, in order to retain a fair distribution of mining hardware.
Quai Network will be using ProgPoW for mining in the Iron Age Testnet.
8/
However, when Ethereum officially merged to Proof-of-Stake, the ProgPoW project was largely abandoned.
Now, Quai Network is bringing it back for the Iron Age Testnet.
7/
The increasing impact of ASICs on ETH mining led to the creation of a new initiative to retain Ethereum's GPU-centric mining.
This initiative came to a head with the proposal to switch Ethereum's mining algorithm from Ethash to ProgPoW as EIP 1057.
