Looks like it's still relying on Ethereum, which IMO is irresponsible from a climate change / energy use point of view.

- drdeca 6y agoDo you think that ethereum won’t move to PoS soon? (I haven’t looked into the design, can’t comment on whether the construction seems sound to me)
- Legogris 6y agoIn short: PoS migration of Ethereum is in progress and will happen in stages. "Stage 0", which doesn't have any practical effects for smart contracts, is expected Soon (tm) (a few months probably). It'll most likely be a couple of years until the transition is done so that smart contracts like Urbit can/will run under PoS.
- Groxx 6y agoEthereum has been moving to PoS soon for a couple years. It's still the intent, but PoS is effectively still unsolved. It's not just "can it decide blocks", it needs to have the right balance of incentives to be self-sustaining, or it destroys itself.
- ddrdrck_ 6y agoWhat makes you say that PoS is "unsolved " ? Did you hear about Cosmos for example ? Their mainnet is running for more than one year without any issue.
