Paid for one thing

01 · Reward on Match

Match the canonical hash

Your Miner performs jobs and sits on VRF-seated committees. Match the work-weighted supermajority and you are paid from inference fees plus the 100,000,000 mining pool. Miss it, and the compute is spent and nothing else happens.

  • Solo and per job. No pooling, no delegation. You earn only from jobs your own Miner is seated for.
  • Never a fixed APY. Reward follows verified work and real fees, with a decaying bootstrap while fees ramp.
  • No ASIC advantage. Mining is running inference, not hashing.
02Burn to Register

Entry is a burn

A one-time fee in native $AIOS, destroyed at registration: never held, never refunded, never paid to anyone. It prices Sybil entry and buys no influence.

10,000 $AIOS at genesis · gliding toward a floor · testnet registration is freeSim
  1. 01 / Acquire

    Get $AIOS

    The ERC-20 on Ethereum. Every Miner needs a wallet; only the compute tier needs a GPU.

  2. 02 / Bridge

    Cross to the L1

    Single-asset lock-and-mint. Only native $AIOS on the L1 can be burned.

  3. 03 / Burn

    Register once

    The fee is destroyed and your miner ID is minted. It confers zero committee weight.

  4. 04 / Mine

    Earn by work

    Your ID is VRF-eligible. Seating and reward follow verified work, not capital.

03Divergence Is Not Fraud

Mistakes are free, fraud is not

Never Forfeits the Burn

No token slashing.

  • Honest downtime: you miss jobs, you are never ejected
  • Determinism divergence: it costs reward, not principal
  • A mismatched result: it earns nothing, and that is all
  • A slow month: out-competed, never punished
Ejects the Miner ID

Fraud is terminal.

  • Proven fraud: a deliberately wrong result, proven by consensus
  • A failed honeypot: ground-truth jobs seeded into the flow
  • Liveness griefing: accepting work, then withholding it
  • The burn is already gone; re-entry means burning again
04One Binary, Two Roles

Every form factor mines

04 · Miner, Producer, Data

Stakeless mining

The full-node CLI can also earn the Producer role: the work-gated set that orders blocks. That layer carries the chain's one small stake, an equivocation-slashable producer-bond that earns no yield. Mining never does.

  • Miner. Performs and recomputes inference, paid on canonical match.
  • Data role. Pins, serves and proves registered corpora, paid on a correct serve.
  • Producer. Earned by accumulated verified work, plus the producer-bond.
  • TEE subset. Confidential GPUs serve the attested tier. Same burn, no extra weight.
