How Energy-Efficient is QS-PoW?
Unlike Classical Blockchains like Bitcoin, which use massive amounts of energy (gas fees) to solve one-way hash functions on each node, BTQ’s QPOW is energy-efficient and post-quantum secure. The QPOW protocol’s energy consumption is determined by the number of samples per each Boson Sampler in the network. In this article, we make an estimate of energy consumption by the network in comparison to today’s Bitcoin’s energy-intensive protocol.
