Our Stance
We don't pick sides. We designed around the problem.
"What if being kind was the optimal strategy?"
The Great Blockchain Debates (2025-2026)
The cryptocurrency world is embroiled in fundamental disagreements about purpose, censorship, and governance. Here's what's happening and where we stand.
Bitcoin Core vs Bitcoin Knots
Active Civil WarCore's Position (Permissive)
- Any valid transaction should be included
- Filtering is censorship
- Ordinals/Runes are valid uses
- Fee market decides what's legitimate
Knots' Position (Restrictive)
- Bitcoin is peer-to-peer money only
- Ordinals are "spam attacks"
- Protect scarce blockspace
- Filter non-financial transactions
Ethereum's MEV Crisis
$7.2B+ Extracted"MEV is a Feature"
- Price discovery and market efficiency
- Validator revenue incentive
- PBS separates concerns
- MEV-Share redistributes value
"MEV is Theft"
- 0.5-2% invisible tax on users
- Centralizes around builders
- Sandwich attacks harm users
- Undermines fair access
State Bloat Crisis
Growing ConcernEthereum Foundation warns: "If only sophisticated operators can afford to store state, censorship resistance weakens." Full nodes require increasingly expensive hardware, threatening decentralization.
Proposed Solutions
- State Expiry
- Verkle Trees
- Partial Statelessness
- History Expiry
Zenpower Solution
- Bounded state by design
- Browser-friendly validation
- Minimal base layer
- Off-chain for heavy data
Zenpower's Answer: Design Around the Problem
We don't pick Core or Knots. We don't accept MEV extraction as inevitable. We designed a system where these debates don't exist.
Time-Bounded Hashing
No spam debate needed. Each wallet gets exactly one hash per slot. Protocol-level constraint, not mempool filtering.
PoE Defines Value Explicitly
No "legitimate use" debate. We explicitly measure what we value:
Dual-Coin Clarity
Bitcoin tries to be money AND store of value AND data layer. We separate concerns:
ZEN$ (Spend)
- Stable utility
- Transactions, tips, gaming
- Mild inflation + decay
- "Cash in your wallet"
ZENCOIN (Save)
- 21M hard cap
- Earned, not bought
- Governance power
- "Gold in your vault"
Protective MEV
We don't extract value from users. We protect them and return captured value to the ecosystem.
Full Comparison Matrix
The Three Tests
Every decision we make passes these tests:
WIN-WIN Test
Does this benefit both participants? TBH means everyone has equal chance. No zero-sum mining competition.
20-YEAR Test
Will this still make sense in 20 years? PoE values (kindness, creation) are timeless human values.
UNCONDITIONAL Test
Does this work for everyone, regardless of resources? Browser-first means no barriers to entry.
Legal Clarity
