Have you ever thought that most public blockchains operate like a 24-hour convenience store?🏪 Even when there are no customers late at night, the lights remain on, the air conditioning runs as usual, and the electricity bills are quite substantial.

And the on-demand computing approach is quite different⚡️—the system only allocates computing resources at the moments when transactions need to be processed, completing tasks quickly, and then immediately entering a dormant state.

What are the changes brought about by this architectural innovation? Simply put, it transforms on-chain computation from continuous consumption into pulse-based operation. Traditional blockchain validation nodes and storage resources need to be maintained around the clock, while the new on-demand activation mode can significantly reduce the network’s energy consumption and operational costs.

For users, this means a more efficient blockchain ecosystem; for the entire Web3 industry, it is a step toward sustainable development.

This convenience store analogy is spot on, but to be honest, some L1s are just burning money to maintain that illusion. On-demand computing sounds good, but I'm worried it's just another PPT coin trick. If they can really reduce costs, that would be great. Let's wait and see the implementation. Hmm, some public chains should really reflect on themselves. Pulse-style operation sounds comfortable, but who guarantees it won't get stuck? If the idea is right, it all depends on who can actually make it happen. Do you think this might be another excuse to cut the leeks again... Energy costs are really a big issue. Finally, someone is seriously discussing this. Basically, it's just about not wasting, so why use such fancy words?

The convenience store analogy is brilliant, but then again, most public chains are still burning money to keep the lights on. On-demand computing sounds good, but I wonder if it will turn out to be another story when it actually lands. Pulse-based operation is interesting; it depends on which chain can come up with creative ways to play around with it. Energy costs have come down; can gas fees decrease together? That's the key. I think we still need to wait and see who actually makes it happen. There are many projects currently hyping up wildly.

honestly this convenience store metaphor hits different... like yeah 24/7 chains bleeding energy while doing absolutely nothing at 3am is peak inefficiency. the real question tho—who's actually measuring this? because every chain claims their validator economics are "optimized" lmaooo

Sounds ideal, but do users really dare to use it? Who bears the risk of validator node downtime?

Wait, I tracked the data... There are quite a few logical flaws in this "on-demand computing" approach. True validation still requires full broadcast; who will prevent double-spending in sleep mode? The risk of node deception is obvious. According to on-chain data, those projects that promote "pulse operation" actually have more suspicious wallet activity. I have already identified several suspicious fund flows. Energy saving is valid, but at what cost? The level of decentralization has definitely decreased.
