proof-of-useful-work: mining runs matrix multiplications for AIConsensus

Why miners and holders like it
Your hashrate is never wasted on puzzles: each job is a real matrix multiplication — the arithmetic that runs every modern AI model.
Research-grade foundations: the network is grounded in a peer-reviewed cryptography paper, and the full monorepo is public — node, wallet, SPV client, ZK proving system and vLLM miner.
The mining-to-AI bridge is in production: Together AI runs a discounted Pearl-powered inference endpoint, so the work has value beyond the block reward.
Room for everyone: the official pool favours datacenter cards, while community pools already accept consumer Nvidia down to Volta-class silicon.
