These are the last five real blocks of Quai's Cyprus-1 chain. Change one. Watch what it costs.

The demo

simulation inside real data

Real: block numbers, hashes, counts, and the live chain growing. Illustrative: the seals here are SHA-256 over these tiles at a toy difficulty. Quai's real seals use SHA-256, Scrypt, or KawPoW at network difficulty.

expected work: 216 = 65,536 hashes

the honest math

The real network seals each block with SHA-256, Scrypt, and KawPoW work at network difficulty, roughly every few seconds.

live, the protocol's own per-algorithm estimate · verify

Your device did 0 hashes sealing these tiles at 16 bits.

To rewrite real history you would have to redo the real work for every block after the one you changed, faster than the whole network keeps adding new ones.
