Many blockchain networks around the world are competing to replace Bitcoin and Ethereum in the future, and some experts specialized in cryptocurrencies believe that the Chia Network and Pi Network are the strongest in terms of security, speed, and environmentally friendly mining. However, the Chia Network, known as the green Bitcoin, is the closest contender as its total supply is the same as Bitcoin's, 21 million coins. It relies on the unused storage space on HDD or SSD drives for mining, and it shares the same principles as Bitcoin but with lower energy consumption and cost for mining, allowing anyone with a computer to mine it.
Chia Network
is a blockchain platform and cryptocurrency created in 2017 by one of the most important American programmers, Bram Cohen, who invented the BitTorrent protocol. The network officially started in 2021, and its digital currency, XCH, became available for trading in May of the same year. The main goal of the Chia Network is to provide an environmentally friendly alternative compared to currencies like Bitcoin, which consume vast amounts of energy.
