Bitinference $BIN

A proof-of-useful-work chain. GPUs secure the network by doing the matrix math that AI inference already needs, instead of throwaway hashing.

FAQ

What is Bitinference?

A Layer 1 blockchain where the work that secures each block is a large matrix multiplication, the core operation of AI models, verified with a zero-knowledge proof. The same computation serves AI workloads and secures the chain.

How is $BIN issued?

Supply is hard-capped at 2.1 billion $BIN. Every coin is created by mining; there is no pre-mine and no sale.

Bootstrap era: the first ~3,117 blocks (about 7 days) are CPU-mined and issue 10% of supply. This lets the network start before GPU miners arrive. Insiders mined during this period.
GPU era: the remaining 90% is issued to GPU miners on a smooth decay curve, with no sudden halvings.

What happens if no GPUs are mining?

If the network goes 30 minutes without a GPU block, a CPU block is allowed so the chain keeps moving. The reward for those blocks is split between the Bitinference Foundation and Bitinference Labs. As soon as GPU miners return, they take over.

Does the team hold $BIN?

Any $BIN held by the team or the Foundation was mined through the same public protocol rules as everyone else. We will publish holdings disclosures once mainnet is live.

Is it quantum-safe?

Mining is hash-based and verified by a zero-knowledge proof, so a quantum computer cannot break it the way it can break elliptic-curve signatures. Addresses use hash-based (post-quantum) signature schemes.

When can I mine?

A public testnet with release binaries comes first, then mainnet. Mining instructions will be posted here.
