PoWtS Consensus Mechanism

A Proof-of-Work (PoW) on L3 with Proof-of-Stake (PoS) on L1 consensus mechanism is utilized to ensure the seamless, secure, scalable, and integral operation of NeurochainAI ecosystem.

To ensure the trustless, secure, and seamless operation of an infrastructure to guarantee accurate and verifiable attribution of rewards on blockchain for work performed on Layer 3, NeurochainAI uses a mixture of PoW and PoS consensus mechanism - Proof of Work through Staking (PoWtS).

Here’s how it works:

When the AI Mining Node receives an AI compute task, it processes the message and computes the response - similar to cryptographic calculations on regular PoW blockchain.

The AI compute acts as a PoW on the NCN AI L3 and has to be validated by Neuron Validator Nodes through PoS on NCN Chain L1.

This way, AI Mining Nodes receive rewards for the work - AI computations performed on the DePIN and Neuron Validator Nodes receive rewards for mining new coins in relation to validating these responses and filtering out bad actors, applying penalties for bad responses, misinformation, and misconfiguration.

This PoW and PoS amalgamation ensures seamless, scalable, and integral operation of the NeurochainAI ecosystem.
