Consensus around
useful work.
GRID measures real computational contribution—not an abstract puzzle. Work is assigned, verified, scored, and recorded as a signed settlement that peers can independently inspect.
Current consensus boundary
Proof of Resource currently governs contribution measurement and reward allocation. Blocks are produced by the Genesis authority and verified by connected peers. GRID does not yet claim permissionless production or decentralized finality.
From machine to settlement
Five checkpoints. One auditable receipt.
Raw hardware alone earns nothing. Recognition begins only after useful work reaches the verification and settlement path.
- 01
Contribute
A node advertises available CPU, GPU, memory, storage, and operating limits.
- 02
Execute
The coordinator assigns authorized work and the node produces a result commitment.
- 03
Verify
Results, timing, and receipts are checked before any contribution is recognized.
- 04
Score
Verified contribution becomes a weighted resource score adjusted by reputation.
- 05
Settle
Accepted receipts are committed to a signed block and become inspectable settlement history.
The score
Contribution has more than one dimension.
Processing carries the greatest weight, but availability, efficiency, and correct results matter too. Every input is normalized before it enters the score.
Implemented formula
R = .55C + .15U + .10E + .20F
Effective score = R × reputation
Reputation is constrained to a 0.5–1.5 multiplier so prior performance influences rewards without replacing current verified work.

Base cluster ceiling
Large coordinated clusters are water-filled against a ceiling. The effective cap expands for very small networks so rewards are not stranded.
