Nov 10, 2025 | Quai Network Developer AMA – SOAP Emissions Controller | Quai Network X-Space AMA

This episode provides an exciting progress report on Quai Network's highly anticipated Project SOAP as it nears the finish line for testnet rollout. The discussion details recent internal devnet testing, pool integration challenges, and how the network utilizes dynamic market incentives rather than forced distributions to establish a mature market. Listeners will also gain a clear understanding of GPU mining efficiency over ASICs on KawPow, the multi-tiered cryptographic proof hierarchy, and how Quai safely processes external donor chain rewards without burdening node operators.Key Highlights From This Episode:Testnet Countdown: Internal devnet testing is running smoothly, with a projected testnet rollout on Orchard expected to launch within the next 72 hours alongside major mining pools like AlphaPool, K1 Pool, and Hero Miners.GPU Dominance on KawPow: Because KawPow and ProgPow algorithms are explicitly designed for ASIC resistance, standard consumer GPUs heavily outperform current ASICs by maximizing thread and memory efficiency.Stochastic Merged Mining: Quai optimizes profitability by dynamically submitting proofs to joint parent chains like Dogecoin and Litecoin simultaneously based on the statistical luck and difficulty of the block.The Proof Hierarchy Explained: A breakdown of how a single miner's proof of work cascades upward through a massive validation hierarchy - spanning from low-difficulty pool shares up to zone, region, prime, and parent chain blocks.For more technical updates, deep dives, and articles, check out Quai Magazine.And if you enjoyed this episode, make sure to follow the podcast and leave a 5-star review!===============================Stay connected with Quai Network:Website: https://qu.ai/Docs: https://docs.qu.ai/learn/introductionX (Twitter): https://x.com/QuaiNetworkDiscord: https://discord.gg/quai===============================Stay connected with Quai Magazine:X (Twitter): https://x.com/QuaiMagazineTelegram: https://t.me/QuaiMagazineMedium: https://medium.com/@quaimagazineRSS Feed: https://rss.com/podcasts/quaimagazineInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/quaimagazine/
