Dive 👇👇 Now imagine the Union testnet like a big playground where people test a new game before it’s ready for everyone to play. The game just got a big update (v3.2) and one of the coolest changes is how they decide who gets to be the "referee" for the game. Let’s break it down further: What Changed? From PoA to PoS Before this update, the playground had a system called Proof of Authority (PoA). Think of it like having a few trusted grown-ups (like teachers) who made all the rules and decided what happens in the game. Only these grown-ups could say, “yes, this move is okay” It was fast and easy, but only a few people had control. Now, with the V3.2 update, they switched to Proof of Stake (PoS). This is like letting anyone who has some special game coins (like tokens) become a referee. The more coins you have and commitment to the game, the more likely you get to help make decisions. It’s more fair because lots of people can join in, not just a few grown-ups. Why Does This Matter? More goblins can help run the game: With PoS, anyone with enough game coins can help make sure the game runs smoothly. This makes the playground feel like it belongs to everyone, not just a few bosses. Practice for the big game: The “big game” is called the mainnet, which is when the game is open to the whole world. This update helps test how the game works when lots of people are referees, so it’s ready for the big launch. Fair and Safe: PoS makes sure referees are honest because they have to “promise” their coins. If they cheat, they could lose their coins, so they want to play nicely. How Does This Affect the Big Game (Mainnet)? When the mainnet (the real, final game) starts, this PoS system will: Let more people help run the game, so it’s not controlled by just a few. Make the game stronger because more referees are watching to keep it safe. Let players earn rewards (like extra game coins) for helping out as referees. Help the game connect different playgrounds (like other blockchains) so everyone can play together easily. zkgm image credit @onc_rudyy  XXX engagements  **Related Topics** [normie](/topic/normie) [pos](/topic/pos) [coins pos](/topic/coins-pos) [devs](/topic/devs) [Post Link](https://x.com/0xDesperate/status/1946298245895909727)
