eCash’s new Real-Time Target (RTT) algorithm smooths out block times for faster, more reliable transactions. Here’s what it means for users: 👇
The Problem: Irregular Block Times In Proof-of-Work (PoW) networks like eCash, mining difficulty adjusts based on miner activity. But miners often switch between eCash, $BTC, and $BCH to chase profits, leading to: ➡️ Turbo blocks: A flood of fast blocks ➡️ Long delays: Slow blocks when miners leave
This "switch mining" creates unpredictable deposit times for users. While this behavior impacts all PoW networks, it hits minority chains like eCash harder due to their smaller share of the total hash rate.
The Solution: Real-Time Targeting The Heartbeat upgrade dynamically adjusts mining difficulty in real-time. By rejecting blocks mined too quickly, it prevents the turbo block problem and keeps block production steady—closer to the 10-minute target.
Why It Matters: A Better User Experience The Heartbeat upgrade improves: ✅ Faster transaction confirmations ⚡ ✅ More predictable deposit times 🕒 ✅ A smoother experience for merchants, exchanges, developers, and everyday users. 🚀
With blocks arriving more consistently, eCash users can rely on faster, smoother transactions. This is especially important for eCash’s 1-block finality, where just one confirmation secures your transaction.
The current 1-block finality and Heartbeat improvements will be further enhanced by Avalanche Pre-Consensus, which will bring eCash instant finality (~2 seconds)!
With Regular Heartbeat live, eCash is leading innovation in PoW networks. It’s another step toward making $XEC the go-to internet cash for everyone.
