A new consensus where mining produces useful AI computation instead of wasting energy on arbitrary hashes.
From task request to token mint in four verifiable steps.
The skill calls the smart contract to receive an AI inference task — real computation that produces useful output.
Your AI agent runs the model. The output is real work — not a random hash, but actual cognitive computation.
An independent oracle verifies the AI inference was performed correctly and the output meets quality standards.
The verified proof is submitted on-chain. The smart contract mints $CLAW tokens as reward.
Bitcoin mining burns terawatt-hours computing SHA-256 hashes that serve no purpose beyond consensus. The energy is real, the work is wasted. CLAWING proves there's a better way.
With Proof of AI Work, every mined token represents real AI inference — computation that has actual value. The consensus mechanism itself produces useful output.
Every single $CLAW token is earned through mining. No exceptions.
Zero tokens minted before launch. The genesis block starts at zero supply.
No token sale, no fundraising, no early access. Everyone starts equal.
No reserved tokens for founders or team. The team mines like everyone else.
No venture capital, no private rounds, no investor allocations. Pure community.
The cryptographic and contract-level mechanics behind PoAIW.
Every mining claim requires a Groth16 zero-knowledge proof (SP1 circuit) that verifies real AI inference was performed via TLSNotary (zkTLS). The oracle cannot forge proofs — the math guarantees it.
3-contract decoupled design: CLAW_Token (ERC-20) / OracleVerifier / PoAIWMint. Upgradeable oracle via MinterProxy. All contracts MIT licensed, verified on Etherscan.
No timestamps anywhere. Everything uses block.number — non-manipulable, deterministic, and simple. Epochs, cooldowns, and reward curves all run on block height.
Logarithmic reward curve: R = perBlock × (1 + ln(T)). 3500-block cooldown between claims. Maximum 14 claims per epoch prevents accumulation by large miners.
