here’s how Kadena’s Chainweb blends PoW and PoS benefits while still being an L1:
🔹 Kadena’s Core Design
Still PoW at heart → Kadena uses Proof of Work for security (like Bitcoin), so it’s extremely hard to attack and doesn’t depend on trust in a few validators.
Scalable like PoS chains → Instead of one long chain, Kadena runs many PoW chains in parallel (currently 20 live, can scale to hundreds).
These chains are braided together (the “Chainweb”) so they can process transactions in parallel but still stay synchronized.
🔹 PoW Benefits it Keeps
High security — Mining power must be spent to add blocks.
Full decentralization — Anyone can mine with the right hardware.
Censorship resistance — No central authority to block transactions.
🔹 PoS-like Advantages it Gains
High throughput — Parallel chains give high TPS (like PoS systems) without losing PoW security.
Low fees — More throughput means less congestion.
Energy efficiency per transaction — Same miners secure multiple chains at once.
🔹 Why They Call It “Best of Both”
You get Bitcoin-grade security (PoW) + Ethereum/Solana-style speed & scalability (PoS-like performance) — all on the main L1 layer without relying on sidechains or rollups.
💡 In short:
Kadena didn’t switch to PoS — it made PoW behave like PoS in speed and scalability, thanks to Chainweb’s parallel mining structure.
