Eaglesong
Eaglesong, a Proof-of-Work (PoW) mining algorithm launched in 2019, powers the Nervos Common Knowledge Base (CKB) cryptocurrency, offering a perfect blend of innovation, simplicity, and security. One standout feature is its broad compatibility with both Nvidia and AMD GPUs, enabling a diverse group of miners to engage in the network. But it's not just about accessibility—Eaglesong also introduces dynamic block rewards that fluctuate between 1,112 and 1,872 CKB based on network conditions, directly impacting profitability. When it comes to performance, Eaglesong doesn’t disappoint. Miners using machines like the Goldshell CK6 can achieve 19.3 TH/s, while the iBeLink BM-N3 pushes it to 25 TH/s, optimizing mining efficiency. However, energy consumption is a key consideration, with machines typically drawing around 3,300 watts—an important factor in calculating mining profitability. The introduction of ASIC miners in 2020 raised network difficulty, further tipping the scales in favor of ASIC mining over traditional GPU setups. At its core, the Eaglesong algorithm utilizes a robust hashing mechanism, combining advanced mathematical functions to create secure hashes that validate transactions and safeguard the blockchain. Though primarily used for mining CKB tokens, Eaglesong also supports decentralized applications (dApps) within the Nervos network, fueling the ecosystem’s expansion. In short, Eaglesong is a high-performance, secure mining solution that adapts to ever-evolving network dynamics while contributing to the growth and sustainability of the Nervos ecosystem.
