Episode notes

In this week's Technical AMA, the Quai Network core team dives deep into one of the most critical events unfolding in the crypto space: the ongoing Liveness Attack on the Monero (XMR) network by Qubic via merge-mining.

Dr. K and the team break down how traditional Proof-of-Work (PoW) architectures are inherently vulnerable to these sub-51% attacks due to slow hash rate sampling, and explain exactly why Quai Network’s WorkShares (PRS) technology completely eliminates this threat.
