XLA

Scala is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency project linking Web 3.0 and IPFS storage technologies to build a globally scalable and mobile-friendly ecosystem. The network runs on a Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism called Panthera, which is highly efficient on CPU and ARM devices.

Scala is fully open-source and community-driven. Anyone can discuss, influence, or work on its development through the Community Contribution System (CCS).

XLA is the native utility coin that is used for:

• Fees for processing transactions and storing data
• Rewarding miners for their contribution to securing the network
• Enabling features in Scala’s applications ecosystem

Scala applications include:

• Scala Share which is a decentralized and IPFS-based file sharing tool
• Android Miner that allows any mobile device to mine XLA and get mining rewards
• GUI, CLI and mobile wallets to easily store, send and receive XLA on any platform
• Network Explorer to provide information about transactions and the understanding of network performance
• Diardi, which is Scala’s custom light delayed proof-of-work implementation built on IPFS, that provides security to the network

Scala has implemented a light version of the Delayed Proof of Work (dPoW) protocol that they called Diardi, which is the backbone of their network security.

Essentially, dPoW checkpoints the daemons blocks onto another stronger chain (like Bitcoin). Deriving from the ideas of dPoW, Scala implemented their own version of dPoW which doesn’t use any other blockchain. Instead, their variant (Diardi) uses the same database as that of their own blockchain. This is made possible by a system utilizing IPFS and the Lightning Memory-Mapped Database Manager (LMDB).

Scala is one of the first projects in the world – if not the only one! – to use IPFS in a way that impacts the actual consensus of the blockchain, providing an additional layer of security against threats such as 51% attacks.

Yes! Scala’s Proof of Work algorithm provides resistance against specialized hardware and GPUs, which allows smaller miners to be profitable.

This algorithm is able to run on any CPU regardless of architecture, but it performs exceptionally well on ARM (mobile) processors in comparison to Intel/AMD, keeping power efficiency as a factor.

Scala developed their own customized temperature calculation algorithm (AMAYC) that uses novel Machine Learning functions to keep phones mining in safe temperatures, and even implements a static temperature control layer to protect the device from overheating.

Scala’s Android Miner is the reference for real mobile mining, and has been forked numerous times by other cryptocurrency projects.
