[ANN] KERYX [KRX] | GPU PoW // 10 BPS // Verifiable AI Inference on BlockDAG

Yeah, need to rebuild the node. I know about the balance lag, I'll fix it ASAP!

ok.Then coin go to exchanges ?


Thank you.

IMHO, a listing at this stage is premature. It would inevitably create a massive sell wall from miners with no buy pressure to absorb it. With zero marketing and fewer than 30 followers on X, the lack of organic demand would lead to a price collapse. I’d rather focus on project development and building a solid, engaged community before considering a KRX listing

This is the usual fate of any shitcoin.

[Keryx Labs]

Fair point! But some manage better than others. We're working hard on this project and we’ll do whatever it takes for KRX to succeed

Advertising is more good then marketing. Ok, I will continue mining, pleasure picture then block's mined and mined.

Simply put, you have absolutely no public trust and there are good reasons for that

Yeah you are right when a project shows a huge lure of mining but does not have real work or a strong community then the biggest fear is that miners will dump their money and go bankrupt after listing,,

So if you want to change this perception, don't just post here frequently, show real evidence. If you can't show how much real AI inference work has been done, how is the development going on in the backend and whether ordinary people are buying the coin even without miner, the shitcoin label will stick to you

We prefer letting the code speak for itself. You can find our node and miner repositories on GitHub, and we invite you to test our AI inference functionality directly on our website. Real-time verification is the best way to see the work being done.
After a detailed analysis this morning, I have identified the root cause of the recent network instability following last weekend's attacks:

The Attack: Approximately 5 nodes (IPs logged) flooded the network with thousands of invalid blocks per second.

Technical Impact: Despite the --archival flag, the massive flood forced a database reorganization across all nodes. To reconnect to the network, nodes purged the history of our first mining week.

The Exploit: During the period where nodes diverged into isolated forks, the attackers successfully captured a large portion of the block rewards—totaling several million KRX across multiple addresses.

The Decision:
Operating a blockchain with a truncated history and a corrupted initial supply (where attackers hold such a significant share) is not viable. Therefore, we have decided to Hard Reset the network and proceed with a clean relaunch shortly.

Moving Forward:
This first launch served as a real-world stress test. Thanks to the immediate implementation of our new IP Ban function, this specific attack vector is now neutralized for the upcoming relaunch.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. This is the only way to ensure a fair, secure, and decentralized future for KRX.

Keryx — Optimistic Proof of Inference (OPoI)

How OPoI works

1. Inference
Each block, the miner runs TinyLlama on a task derived from the block hash (synthetic) or from a real on-chain AiRequest transaction submitted by a user or agent.

2. Commitment
The miner embeds two things in the coinbase extra_data:
- An OPoI tag — 16 hex chars, the deterministic output of a fixed-point MLP run on the block nonce. This is the on-chain proof.
- An escrow pubkey — a Schnorr public key identifying their collateral output.

3. Escrow
The 20% escrow cut is sent to a CSV-timelocked P2PK output — it cannot be spent until 36,000 blocks (~1 hour) have passed. The miner posted collateral. If they lied, they lose it.

4. Challenge window
During those 36,000 blocks, anyone can submit an AiChallenge transaction:
- Challenger posts a deposit to the burn address
- If fraud is proven (re-execution of the deterministic model gives a different result), the miner's escrow is slashed
- If the challenge is invalid, the challenger loses their deposit

5. Finality
No challenge after 36,000 blocks -> the miner claims their 20% escrow. Honest inference is economically dominant.

---

For standard miners

Pass --no-opoi and the 20% goes to the burn address — a provably unspendable address derived from Hash("KERYX_PROOF_OF_BURN_V1"). No private key exists for it. Those coins are gone forever, reducing the circulating supply over time.

---

On-chain AI requests

Anyone can submit an AiRequest transaction to the network:
- Specifies prompt, max tokens, fee
- Miners pick it up and answer on-chain in the next block
- The response is published as an AiResponse transaction
- The challenge window applies to every response

When no real requests are pending, miners work on synthetic tasks (derived from the previous block hash) to keep the infrastructure warm and battle-tested.

---

The result: every block is a verifiable unit of computation. The chain is a trustless inference oracle.

"Intelligence is the message. Keryx is the messenger."
Launch Announcement — The Keryx Genesis

The hard reset was only a prelude. This Sunday at 15:00 UTC, we deploy the true power of the ⁠OPoI protocol.

We are not just relaunching; we are innovating with:

OPoI — Optimistic Proof of Inference
Every block mined is a proof of real AI computation. Each miner runs a local language model, embeds the result on-chain, and locks 20% of their reward as collateral. A 1-hour challenge window lets anyone verify the inference — fraud gets slashed, honesty gets rewarded. No trusted oracle. No central server. The chain is the inference layer.

Radical Tokenomics
100% of transaction fees are permanently burned. Every on-chain transaction reduces the circulating supply. Scarcity is not a promise — it's enforced by the protocol.

Do not miss the Genesis block!

I mine many blocks but why balance not chenges ?

Looks like your node created its own fork.

To verify that you are on the right network:

Check your node's DAA score and compare it with the explorer:

cd keryx-node/target/release
./keryx-cli
network mainnet
connect localhost
rpc get-block-dag-info
