SOST launches from code, not from capital. The community forms around the protocol itself — miners, developers, and gold holders who believe in sovereign proof-of-work with constitutional reserves.
Source code, issues, pull requests, releases. The canonical home of the SOST Protocol codebase. All development happens in public.

t.me/sostprotocol LIVE DATAReal-time chain data — block height, difficulty, hashrate, supply, Gold Reserve tracker, PoPC Pool, address lookup, and transaction history.
explorer.sostcore.comCPU-only ConvergenceX mining. 4 GB RAM required per thread. No GPU, no ASIC. Build from source and start mining with sost-miner. Every block you mine allocates 25% to the Gold Reserve automatically.
Validate the chain independently. Every full node strengthens the network by relaying blocks and transactions, maintaining the UTXO set, and enforcing consensus rules.
C++17 codebase, MIT licensed. Open issues, submit pull requests, review code, write tests. All development is public on GitHub.
When PoPC activates (target: April 2027), prove custody of XAUT/PAXG and earn rewards from the PoPC Pool. Model A (self-custody bonds) or Model B (timelocked escrow).

| Principle | Detail |
|---|---|
| Permissionless | Anyone can mine, run a node, or transact without permission |
| Open source | MIT license — use, modify, distribute freely |
| No ongoing parameter governance | Monetary rules immutable at genesis — no DAO, no voting |
| CPU-friendly | ConvergenceX resists ASIC and GPU concentration |
| Constitutional reserves | 25% Gold Funding Vault + 25% PoPC Pool — hardcoded, immutable |
| Fair launch | No premine, no ICO, no VC allocation, no insider tokens |
| Misconception | Reality |
|---|---|
| Not an investment product | SOST is a protocol. No returns are promised or guaranteed. |
| Not a gold peg | The reserve is an observable metric, not a redemption right. |
| Not a broker or custodian | SOST does not trade, custody, or manage user assets. |
| Not governed by voting | Consensus rules are immutable. No governance token exists. |
| Not a staking protocol | PoPC proves custody of external gold — not circular token locking. |
