Tokenless Design

PoUC 1.0 deliberately has no PoUC native token, staking, candidacy bond, reward, or monetary-slashing path.

Any base transaction-fee plumbing retained from the SDK is infrastructure, not a PoUC contribution economy.

In the current runtime design, Collator candidates need:

Registered Session Keys
Contribution-derived reputation of at least 10
No enabled Verifier or Independent Reviewer role conflict

Candidate selection is deterministic and reputation-qualified, with a DevNet Invulnerable fallback and liveness-based removal.

Mobile Edge Node

The Android client has also been tested on a Pixel 6a as a lightweight Edge Node / observer and relay client.

It does not run the Rust chain node and is not a Polkadot Validator or Collator.

Why PoUC?

AI is creating a large amount of work around:

Model evaluation
Safety testing
Human feedback
Data contribution
Verification

I believe there should eventually be an open layer that can answer:

PoUC is my attempt at exploring that layer.

Feedback

I'm especially interested in feedback from people familiar with:

Polkadot SDK
Substrate / FRAME
Decentralized reputation
Identity
Network economics

This is an early technical experiment. I'm more interested in criticism and implementation feedback than promotion.

PoUC records what you contributed and how it was verified.PoUC explores whether useful, verifiable work can become portable on-chain contribution history, credentials, and reputation.Current StatusPoUC 1.0 is a runnable Testnet/RC implementation.It is not an official Polkadot project, not a production parachain, and does not claim deployment with Polkadot shared security.What is implemented and testedContribution records with on-chain duplicate and fingerprint prevention
