Happy May day!
We will be in New York May 13–17, if you plan to be there, check out this event guide by Toya B. Our token-economics advisor Jiasun Li will speak at the Consensus and Kevin will speak at the Token Summit. Meanwhile we will be joining/hosting couple meetups. Hope to see some of you there:) Here are the latest updates at Nervos:
Highlights
POS is not in fact permissionless…if it is our wish that layer 1 should be as decentralized and secure as possible, then the one and only viable option is PoW.
For more details check this article by Jan Xie and the discussion on Nervos forum.
