E77: Inside the Energy-Backed Economy with Quai Network

Summary

In this episode of the ATX DAO Podcast, Tom and Ash sit down with Matt and Christopher from Quai Network to unpack how Quai is redefining scalability and sustainability in blockchain. The conversation explores Quai’s dual-token model, its flat-coin concept as an energy-backed alternative to stablecoins, and the network’s proof-of-entropy minima consensus, which enables global scalability without sacrificing decentralization. Together, they dive into how energy inputs, mining incentives, and real-world infrastructure converge to create the world’s first crypto-native energy dollar.

Listeners will also get an inside look at Project SOAP (Subsidy Open Acquisition Protocol), a groundbreaking mechanism that flips traditional mining economics by turning miner sell pressure into buy pressure. Matt and Christopher break down how SOAP, liquid mine tokens, and Wormhole integrations are shaping the next generation of proof-of-work ecosystems. Whether you’re a crypto miner, Web3 builder, or just curious about the future of decentralized energy systems, this episode offers a front-row seat to how Quai Network is powering the next era of blockchain innovation.
