Since Bitcoin, a major open problem in distributed systems was whether proof-of-work consensus can be implemented on top of real-world computation rather than useless random hashing. This challenge of PoUW was repeatedly conjectured impossible by researchers and thought leaders. They were wrong.

This reframes consensus itself. Not as energy burn for security, but as aligned computation that produces value while securing the network. That’s a structural shift.

Vitalik's 2019 take on PoUW aged poorly. The gap between what researchers call impossible and what engineers actually ship keeps narrowing.

Proof of work has always demanded a brutal trade-off - to secure a monetary network, you burn energy on the scale of entire countries. Meanwhile, hundreds of billions poured into AI - all for one operation at massive scale - matrix multiplication. For years, these energy markets were disjoint. It was commonly believed that proof of work could never be implemented on top of real-world instances. They were wrong. The same matrix multiplication that powers AI can secure a monetary network as a by-product - every GPU cycle doing double duty. A currency backed by the most valuable computation on earth. A deep dive by Omri Weinstein ⤵️

Checking that a major mathematical proof is correct can take years. Formalization—converting the mathematical reasoning into a form computer proof assistants like Lean can verify—can help. Last month, Claude completed the first formalized proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem, one of the most famous theorems of all time. This was a project experts thought would take many years. It is the largest Lean proof ever written. Fermat’s Last Theorem was first proven in 1995 by Sir Andrew Wiles, more than 350 years after it was conjectured. Our proof, which totals over 13 million lines of code, provides machine verification. More importantly, it proves over 29,000 other theorems that the proof requires, across many areas of math which had never before been formalized. We see this as a major step in the long process of firming up the core of mathematical knowledge, building on work from three centuries of mathematicians and hundreds of contributors to Lean and Mathlib. We are optimistic that AI-assisted verification of mathematical proofs will help reduce the burden of refereeing mathematics in an era where more proofs are being produced than ever before. You can read about the process on our Science Blog: And see the complete proof on GitHub:

We made enemies on this day, right at this moment. What a ministry, the gospel of Economic Freedom was spread and reached the souls of many. And the WMC realised that we are a bigger animal than they thought and they were not wrong but stupid to think that they can kill us.

Proof-of-Useful-Work forced us to solve a problem ordinary blockchains do not have. A Pearl miner performs large matrix multiplications as part of a real AI workload. Naively, when it finds a valid block, it would need to publish those matrices so the network could verify the computation. The matrices may contain private model data or user information, and a single weight matrix can be tens-to-hundreds of megabytes. Publishing them on-chain would be both prohibitively expensive and a privacy risk. This is why we encapsulated the entire mining computation inside a zk-SNARK. A zk-SNARK can take an arbitrarily complex computation and compress it into a small cryptographic proof. The proof reveals nothing about the underlying matrices, while still allowing the network to verify that the miner found a valid block. Instead of placing tens-to-hundreds of megabytes of potentially sensitive data on-chain, Pearl miners publish a zero-knowledge proof of roughly 60 kilobytes. The blockchain verifies the useful computation without ever seeing the model weights, activations or private data behind it. This is what makes Proof-of-Useful-Work practical at scale: large AI computations happen off-chain, while only a compact, privacy-preserving proof reaches consensus.

#Bitcoin is a tectonic shift in valuing wealth. With fiat, wealth is manipulated and printed, rewarding poor behavior. With #Bitcoin, wealth is honest—you earn it by giving more than you take. Real proof-of-work, real value. No matter who is President, #Bitcoin fixes this.

Wazirx PR team is active again, rather than focusing on real issues and bringing clarity. They continue to waste users funds on useless and senseless PR. Btw - Wazirx timeline calculator, proof of reserves have not been updated for over 4 months now. On top of that LIVE POR which nischal promised was never delivered - So we will never know if distribution date is fair or not.
