Sovereign Post-Quantum Resource Network
Usage-based issuance that prices NPU compute, Mixnet bandwidth, and quantum-resistant ledger space—so everyday hardware can secure a privacy-first chain.
Architectural Foundation
The Po8 Network is built on four non-negotiable pillars that guide every engineering decision.
Quantum Resistance at Depth
Total rejection of number-theoretic cryptography. The entire substrate uses lattice-based primitives (ML-KEM and ML-DSA) per NIST FIPS 203/204 standards.
NPU-Centric Consensus
Proof of Useful Work optimized for consumer edge devices. Apple Silicon and Kneron accelerators outperform industrial GPU farms at Batch-1 inference.
Infrastructure-Level Privacy
Every validator is a Mixnode and dVPN relay. Sphinx packets, loop cover traffic, and Dandelion++ propagation protect metadata at the transport layer.
Interoperability & Usability
Full EVM compatibility via the Quantum Abstraction Layer. ERC-4337 smart accounts let Solidity apps deploy unmodified while gaining PQC protection.
The Quadrilemma
The global digital asset infrastructure faces three mutually reinforcing existential threats. Po8 adds the missing fourth pillar—metadata privacy.
Quantum Threat
Cryptographically Relevant Quantum Computers (CRQCs) will break RSA/ECC. The "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" attack means data captured today is vulnerable to future quantum decryption.
Mining Centralization
Industrial GPUs and ASICs have concentrated consensus power. The original "one CPU, one vote" vision has been eroded by throughput economics.
Network Surveillance
Zero-knowledge ledgers don't hide network metadata. Traffic analysis can de-anonymize users by correlating IP addresses with transaction timing.
Usability Gap
Post-quantum cryptography and privacy tooling remain inaccessible to everyday devices and mainstream developers.
How Po8 Works
Each layer is deliberately coupled so a regression in one pillar does not collapse the rest. The architecture synthesizes NIST-standardized PQC with the practical engineering advantages of unified memory and mixnet sociology.
TensorChain
Matrix-based Proof of Useful Work that saturates unified memory. Verifiable via Freivalds' algorithm in O(n²) time.
InferNet
Useful AI inference with fraud proofs. INT8 quantization ensures deterministic execution across all hardware.
Mixnet + dVPN
Sphinx packets with constant-size padding. AmneziaWG for censorship-resistant relay traffic.
View Key Hierarchy
Compliance-optional privacy with spending keys, full viewing keys, incoming viewing keys, and transaction view keys.
Post-Quantum Primitives
Built on Module-Learning With Errors (MLWE)—the foundation of NIST-selected algorithms Kyber and Dilithium.
Key encapsulation for encrypted node-to-node sessions. Hybridized with X25519 for defense-in-depth.
Digital signatures for transactions, validator votes, and governance. Fiat-Shamir with Abort paradigm.
Stateless hash-based signatures as the governance fallback. Security depends only on SHA-3.
Usage-Based Economics
Po8 links token supply directly to real usage of NPU compute, Mixnet bandwidth, and quantum-resistant ledger space—rather than a fixed inflation curve.
Usage-Based Dynamic Issuance
Issuance expands when utilization is low to keep capacity online and contracts toward zero as fees from real usage are sufficient to pay nodes.
NPU & Bandwidth Markets
TensorChain, InferNet, and the Mixnet turn NPU inference and relay bandwidth into priced commodities, with protocol fees burned and rewards flowing to edge operators.
Quantum Hedge
Quantum-resistant signatures and privacy-by-default transport make PO8 a hedge against the "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" collapse of legacy chains.
The Batch-1 Efficiency Gap
Industrial GPUs collapse in efficiency when forced to process single inference requests. Consumer NPUs thrive in exactly this workload.

The Po8 Network creates a world where mining is accessible to individuals, privacy is the default state, and the ledger is immutable not just for a decade, but for the century.
