"A couple years ago both Dash and Zcash each faced a dead end. Neither inflated the coin supply. Instead they changed leadership and direction decentralized even more and did the hard work building product and partnerships from scratch then got users influencers builders investors etc. Now the market cap of each has significantly leapfrogged that of MultiversX. There are lessons to be learned here"

It has a hybrid PoW/PoSe system that's mostly non-ASIC mined but uses masternodes and ChainLocks for a finality layer. I would consider it "kind of secure" because while ChainLocks is great the percentage of the block reward that goes to this security layer is relatively low and no ASICs means the mined"
