What’s the Duration of an Epoch?
Mining Rewards distribution settles on Zytron Chain. At a block time of 2 seconds, 1 epoch = 43200 block heights settlement.
What is the Consensus Mechanism
Proof of ZK is a hybrid PoS-PoW mechanism to decide token distribution among all protocol users and service providers, using a Cobb-Douglas-algorithm-based curve.
Mathematical Equation:
Designing Principles:
Utility-first: utility-oriented Player-Miner dynamic to drive network utility and protocol value.
Fair Distribution: Cobb-Douglas-based bonding curve based on a list of factors e.g. % Proof of ZK Work, % game token staked.
Multi-dimensional: rewards from Platform + ΣGames with protocol layer to application layer value capture transition.
Inclusive: True DePin to enable a variety of hardware for decentralized ZK mining and computing.
Proof of ZK Work Calculation
Proof of ZK Work (PoZK) is a standardized workload measurement that evaluates the computational effort required to generate zero-knowledge proofs, quantified based on the circuit size and measured in gates.
Work = 𝛼 × Circuit Size (gates)
* α is a weight factor that varies depending on the zk scheme used. This standardization ensures that different schemes can be compared and combined fairly within the same framework.
