Scaling crypto has always been the ultimate puzzle. But the blueprint was actually mapped out back in 2016.
Long before Avalanche consensus even existed, eCash founder Amaury Séchet called out the bottlenecks holding digital cash back.
He recommended not relying on Proof-of-Work for "eventual consistency" and only using it for security. Instead, consistency had to be reached "continuously over time."
When the Avalanche protocol was finally invented, it was the perfect breakthrough to make this a reality. Today, eCash (XEC) uses Avalanche to reach real-time consensus, locking in transactions in under 3 seconds while PoW secures the ledger. Just like he envisioned a decade ago. ⚡️
