The cryptocurrency market has changed In the past, we used to study the patterns and mechanisms of various projects What POW, POS What AI, RWA, this ecology, that ecology No one talks about these now Currently, only BTC and ETH are in the cryptocurrency market, while the rest are high-level counterfeit junk currencies Last time I mentioned a project called Mars, I instinctively asked what it was: Is it like PoW? Like PoS? Or DPoS? I think none of them are accurate. PoW focuses on mining machines, electricity, and computing power, essentially competing for resources in the industrial era. PoS is a combination of principal and pledge, essentially representing the discourse power of financial capital. DPoS may seem like a vote, but its essence is still equity governance. But Mars' PoC is more like another set of logic: It's not about how many resources you have, But it depends on what contributions you have made to the system. In Mars, destroying MARS is necessary to obtain computing power. Destruction is not simply about consuming, but about converting current assets into computational power weights that will continue to be produced in the future. This is also the biggest difference between Mars and traditional consensus mechanisms: PoW is machine proof. PoS is proof of capital. Mars is proof of contribution. But what's really interesting about Mars is not just the PoC. It is actually a mechanism based project that values intelligence. The 188 day coin standard payback coefficient is not a fixed capital commitment, but a calculation anchor point. What you need to look at is: your own computing power, the computing power of the entire network, daily output changes, and the speed at which it will be diluted in the future. The NFT invitation mechanism is not just about recruiting people. It is essentially building a personal mining pool. The person you invite generates additional computing power, and you will receive an additional computing power gain, which will not be deducted from their earnings, but will be rewarded by the system based on the newly added contribution. So for those who know how to play Mars, it's not just about the price. I will also think about: When will it be destroyed? How to expand the mining pool? How to coordinate the computing power of superiors and subordinates? Who participates first and who participates later when the equation is triggered? This enters into a game of programming between both parties. The Christmas equation and oracle equation are not just activities, but tools for the system to self regulate during the cycle. When the equation is triggered, the order of participation, computational power structure, and NFT relationship will all affect the final result. So Mars is not a simple game of 'buy, burn, wait to recoup'. Low level players look at the price. Mid level players look at computing power. Advanced players see mechanism linkage. This is also why I think Mars is worth studying: It's not just about telling stories of sudden wealth, But rather, they are trying to use a set of open and transparent rules to make contribution itself the most crucial ticket to entry. Not investment advice, just mechanism research.
