Interesting, is it unique POW algo on mainnet?

We will (most likely) be using Tromp's Cuckoo Cycle, which makes it possible to mine on a smart phone. Decentralization++;

so you guys are build on top of the ethereum eth network? or your own blockchain?

FAQ doesn't work

æternity is a new blockchain for scalable smart contracts interfacing with real-world data. Scalability is achieved via turing-complete state channels, which got invented by Zack Hess, our technical lead. The real-world data interface is achieved via featuring a build in decentralized oracle, which gets checked by the consensus. Sidenote: æternity can do cross-chain atomic swaps with the Ethereum network and it can also access any data from Ethereum via the oracle.

FAQ link got fixed. FAQ is on our blog and it went a bit under. FAQ: https://blog.aeternity.com/æternity-frequently-asked-questions-faq-9cb0e34e0740
