VyteWe have a guest article from Vyte, an important Kaspa community member, especially in the X world. In this article, Vyte breaks down Maximal Extractable Value (otherwise known as MEV) problems, potential attacks, and how Kaspa serves as a potential solution via block parallelism, kickbacks, fair ordering, and auctions.
Due to Kaspa's unforgeable costliness from mining, we believe mining energy securing Kaspa must be abundantly available, climate neutral, and as cheap as possible. In this piece, we cover the history and theory of clean energy, MENA's energy infrastructure, the development of Desertec Industrial Initiative (Dii) , and the future of Kaspa Kii.
