The wait is over, and the Mochimo community has cast its vote for the future of the network. After an intense voting period, we are officially transitioning to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus model.
The Final Tally
The turnout for this governance vote was historic, representing nearly 40% of the total circulating supply.
Proof-of-Stake (PoS): 72.1% (51 addresses | 8.88 Million+ MCM)Proof-of-Work (PoW): 27.9% (48 addresses | 3.43 Million+ MCM)Total Committed: 12,326,661 MCM
Voting concluded with the "Golden Block" #991,072 on May 7th, 2026, which produced the required 0x00 hash prefix to finalize the window.
Why the Shift?
The community’s move to PoS is driven by a vision for a green, scalable, and accessible ecosystem:
Sustainability: PoS eliminates the heavy electricity overhead associated with traditional mining.Accessibility: Participation is no longer limited by the "hardware arms race" of expensive GPUs; anyone holding MCM can now help secure the network.Stabilization: By removing massive miner electricity bills, we expect a significant reduction in constant "sell pressure" on the market.
What Happens to Mining?
We respect the roots of our PoW community. Here is the transition roadmap:
Main Chain: PoW mining will continue on the main Mochimo chain for at least two months while the PoS engineering is finalized.New PoW Network: Founder Matt Zweil has indicated that a separate PoW-only network will be licensed and "forked" for those who wish to continue traditional mining under a new identity.
The Future is $MCM Quantum-Resistant
Mochimo remains committed to its core mission of providing a post-quantum secure blockchain. This transition to PoS ensures our network is prepared for long-term growth and global accessibility.
Stay tuned for technical milestones as we move toward the PoS era!
