Concepts

The chain from first principles. Each page is short enough to read in one sitting; they build on each other in this order:

  1. Post-quantum cryptography — why ML-DSA / ML-KEM / SHA3, what they replace, what they don't.
  2. Blocks and consensus — block structure, PoW + QRNG attestation, fork resolution.
  3. QRNG and entropy — why mining requires verifiable entropy, what counts as a valid source, how the aggregator works.
  4. Addresses and wallets — what an address is, how it's derived from an ML-DSA public key.
  5. Gas, fees, and economics — Bohms, the gas table, the emission schedule.
  6. Mining — the full mining loop, sync gates, block templating, difficulty adjustment.
  7. Networking — peer discovery, the P2P wire protocol, IBD, transaction propagation.
