The first blockchain that verifies real-world industrial work. Machine data in. Cryptographic proof out. No oracles. No trust.
Industrial machines generate binary data. PopChain transforms this into deterministic proofs that any node can independently verify.
Machine-generated binary data — welding, CNC, laser cutting — captured and double-hashed with SHA-256 + BLAKE3.
Deterministic metrics computed: entropy, compression ratio, mean absolute deviation. Sealed in canonical POP-1 container.
Scoring and MBW (Mega Bytes Worked) derived from metrics. Compact, verifiable unit of industrial work.
Validators verify independently. MBW drives fork choice. Bincoin rewards flow to block producers. Epoch finality seals.
Every component is deterministic. Every proof is reproducible. Every node reaches the same state.
Highest cumulative Mega Bytes Worked wins. Ties broken by height, then hash. No staking. Work is proof.
The sole native coin. Block producers earn Bincoin proportional to log2(MBW). Bounded emission. Predictable supply.
Post-quantum Winternitz One-Time Signatures. No ECDSA dependency. Quantum-resistant from genesis.
Every 100 blocks, deterministic epoch hash seals canonical chain. Independently verifiable by any node.
NDJSON over TCP. Lightweight, auditable, no libp2p dependency. Custom protocol, minimal surface.
9,700+ lines. #![forbid(unsafe_code)]. Single binary. No VM, no smart contracts runtime. Pure chain.
Everything runs from the command line. One binary, zero configuration.
