Proof of Useful Work

An experimental protocol for turning distributed computation into reproducible astronomy datasets. The first production candidate is real TESS exoplanet inference; galaxy and anomaly modes remain research demos.

TESS Input Catalog · Active Targets

A subset of the 200M+ star TESS Input Catalog. Miners run inference against these and ~1,000 more per epoch. Coordinates in J2000, magnitudes in TESS band.

Active Mining Tasks

Three task types run in parallel. Each draws from a different public survey, applies a different pre-trained model, and emits a different scientific artifact.

Task 01 / exoplanet

Exoplanet Transit Detection

Download real TESS 2-minute-cadence light curves from MAST. Run a 244K-parameter AstroNet CNN. Output: PLANET / FALSE_POSITIVE / NO_SIGNAL with confidence score.

Six Invariants of the Protocol

Protocol v2 separates immutable supply rules from timelocked task and verifier governance.

01 / HALVING

Bitcoin-Style Halving

Block reward starts at 50 VOID and halves every 210,000 submissions. Floor at 0.1 VOID. Total supply capped at 1,000,000,000 enforced in MiningPool.sol.

02 / COMMIT REVEAL

Bound Submissions

Miners commit before revealing input, output, quality, duration and artifact commitments. This reduces copying and simple front-running.

03 / CHALLENGE / SLASH

Verifier Review

Approved independent verifiers escrow VOID, reproduce work and attest during a six-hour review period. Rewards mint only after quorum.

04 / TIME-LOCK

7-Day Governance Delay

OpenZeppelin Governor queues task and verifier-policy changes through a seven-day TimelockController. There is no upgrade or emergency-admin key.

05 / ARTIFACTS

Retrievable Results

Every eligible reveal binds a bounded content-addressed artifact URI. Finalization emits the URI for researchers and indexers.

06 / MARKETPLACE

USDC Dataset Access

Versioned releases can be committed on Base and sold in USDC with proceeds settling directly to the DAO treasury.

From Photon to Proof

Production-eligible submissions fail closed unless they use real canonical inputs, the approved model and a retrievable artifact.

Stage 01

Archive

Canonical TESS data fetched from MAST for the first production task

Stage 02

Preprocess

Detrend · normalize · mask. Variable sizes defeat fixed silicon

Stage 03

Inference

The committed pretrained model runs and emits reproducible output

Stage 04

Review & Mint

Artifact published · verifier quorum reached · VOID finalized on Base

Start Mining → Full step-by-step guide

Run the research miner locally today. On-chain rewards begin only after audited v2 deployment and verifier activation.

① Test Mode (no wallet)

Run inference against the live data pipeline. No on-chain submission.

# Multi-backend auto-detect
pip install voidmap[all]
voidmap-detect
voidmap --task exoplanet --rounds 3

② Submit to Testnet

Base Sepolia. Real contract calls. Get test VOID into a test wallet.

# Fund with Base Sepolia ETH, then:
export VOIDMAP_PK=0x...
voidmap-mine --task exoplanet --rounds 5 --submit \
  --rpc https://sepolia.base.org

③ HiveOS / Docker

Production rigs. AMD + NVIDIA. One-line install.

# HiveOS auto-install
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/\
thekillsquad007/voidmap/main/install_hiveos.sh)

# Or Docker (NVIDIA)
docker compose up -d voidmap-miner-nvidia

④ Supported Backends

Auto-detected in priority order. FPGA, emulated, virtual GPUs rejected.

CUDA · NVIDIA ROCm · AMD DirectML · Win MPS · Apple CPU · Always

Apple Silicon M1/M2/M3/M4 via PyTorch MPS. Intel Arc via ONNX DirectML.

On-Chain Protocol

Seven immutable, non-upgradeable contracts are under pre-mainnet review. They are not yet deployed or independently audited.

VoidmapToken ERC-20

  • → 1B fixed supply, 18 decimals
  • → 900M (90%) minted to miners via mintMinerReward()
  • → 50M (5%) dev fund, 4-year linear vesting
  • → 50M (5%) DAO/treasury, unlocked at genesis
  • → No Ownable — minter locked after one-time migration
  • → ERC20Votes checkpoints for timelocked governance

MiningPool V2

  • Halving — 50 VOID → 25 → 12.5 → ... → 0.1 floor
  • Commit/Reveal — binds miner claims before disclosure
  • Verifier Quorum — staked independent review
  • Challenge Bond — 6h evidence window, 1 VOID bond
  • Time-Lock — OpenZeppelin Governor + 7-day delay
  • ResultRegistry — on-chain scientific record

Query the Result Registry

Finalized production outputs expose commitment-bound artifact URIs. Availability still depends on independent pinning and replication.

Access Results

Finalized commitments are indexed in ResultRegistry; the corresponding artifact URI is emitted by MiningPool. A production indexer is still required.
