LOCAL T0
Full rewards require funded work.
Abakos combines a btcd-based PoUW chain with economic job binding. The local T0 simnet enforces the reward split; production escrow and GPU proof remain in development.
Consensus path
From funded job to accepted block.
01
Funded job
Escrow—not statistical matrix appearance—is the economic usefulness signal.
02
Work commitment
The block commits job, model, inputs and measured work units.
03
Proof verification
Nodes verify PoUW, job validity and the useful-work calculation.
04
Reward validation
The coinbase must exactly match the allowed 25–100% subsidy.
Open research
Economic binding first. Cryptographic binding next.
T0 uses a funded in-memory job stub. The production design must prove that jackpot work came from committed inputs without making verification prohibitively expensive.
NOT PRODUCTION
Current verifier
The CPU 8×8 GEMM verifier is a test reference. CUDA, real work accounting, multi-job commitments and ZK are not live.
