Emission Curve — Smooth Exponential Decay
Live Block Data

Target block spacing is 600 seconds (10 minutes), maintained by the cASERT unified difficulty adjustment system. The bitsQ primary controller handles hashrate changes; the equalizer prevents short-term emission acceleration.

// 01 — OVERVIEW

What is SOST

Protocol Summary
IMMUTABLE BY DESIGN

SOST is a Proof-of-Work cryptocurrency where each mined block allocates 25% of issuance to an on-chain Gold Funding Vault by consensus. Conversions to XAUT/PAXG are operational actions executed with public attestations and auditable trails. The reserve is observable on Ethereum mainnet — not a peg, not a guarantee, but a verifiable commitment.

ConsensusConvergenceX PoW — memory-hard, CPU-friendly, ASIC-resistant
Monetary PolicySmooth exponential decay (q=e), Feigenbaum-derived constants, ~30 years to 95% supply
Reserve25% of every block → tokenized gold (XAUT, PAXG) on Ethereum
PoPC25% of every block → Proof of Personal Custody rewards (Phase 2+)
GovernanceNone. Consensus rules are immutable at genesis.

Protocol Architecture

PILLAR 01
ConvergenceX PoW

Memory-hard proof-of-work requiring 4GB RAM scratchpad per thread. 100,000 sequential iterations prevent GPU/ASIC parallelization. cASERT unified targeting with bitsQ primary controller and equalizer profiles (E3–H6) for progressive hardening under fast-chain conditions.

PILLAR 02
Metals Reserve

25% of every block’s coinbase is allocated to the Gold Funding Vault address by consensus. Accumulated SOST is converted to XAUT/PAXG via TWAP pipeline and deposited into a Heritage Reserve on Ethereum mainnet. Observable reserve ratio — not a peg.

PILLAR 03
Proof of Personal Custody (PoPC)

25% of every block’s coinbase is allocated to the PoPC Pool address. Rewards distributed to holders who prove continued custody of their SOST through cryptographic attestation. Model A (self-custody bonds) and Model B (escrow timelock) available.
