Genesis Program

Genesis Candidate Roadmap

ComputeNet is the first open protocol making verified useful compute observable and attestable. The public bounded service is live; native consensus and COMPUTE rewards are inactive.

Current Phase

Preserved ledger — computenet-mainnet-1

The original eight blocks remain preserved: 350 issued COMPUTE and 342 reconciled balance. Public signed execution receipts are live and separate. Native consensus, mining, issuance, fees, payments and rewards are inactive; independent administration is not demonstrated.

Development Roadmap

The roadmap outlines major milestones from fair launch through Alpha Mainnet and beyond. Specific timelines will be announced as each phase approaches.

Stage 1Completed

Historical protocol and ledger

Eight original blocks are preserved; this is not evidence of currently advancing consensus.

  • Original genesis and height 7 preserved
  • 350 historical test issuance; 342 reconciled balance
Stage 2Completed

Public bounded verification

Two useful deterministic workload profiles return signed execution evidence.

  • Public HTTPS submission and status
  • Signed result download and local verification
Stage 3Completed

Compound native candidate

Scoped isolated tests passed; production qualification and economic security are not established.

  • Unique useful work plus complementary resource work
  • Receipt-bound isolated settlement and recovery
Stage 4Current

Independent operator qualification

Volunteer off-mainnet instructions and intake are public. Actual independent live consensus is not demonstrated.

  • Source and qualification instructions published
  • Independent resource and WAN evidence still required
Stage 5

Protocol and economic acceptance

Production numerical parameters, original issuance eligibility and funding require explicit ratification.

  • Ratification and security-resource commitments pending
  • No mining, issuance, payments or fees activated
Stage 6

Native activation and continuity

Separate cutover and payment authority are required; no founder-independent launch is claimed.

  • Preserve historical ledger and original wallets
  • Qualify consenting live payments and independent continuity

Alpha Mainnet Hardening Roadmap

The bounded verification service is live. Native consensus and economics remain isolated qualification and ratification work.

Broader external validator participation
Ongoing public stress testing
Replay verification demos
Telemetry API docs
Docker validator deployment
Fraud/challenge simulations
Continued security review
Economic parameter review
Decentralized governance activation

Fair Launch Commitments

ComputeNet is committed to a fair, transparent launch with no special allocations.

No Premine

Historical test issuance is disclosed: 350 COMPUTE; not a new allocation.

No ICO

No token sale or investment offering

No Founder Allocation

No new founder allocation is proposed; historical holdings are preserved.

Open Source Before Genesis

Pinned source is published; this does not certify historical release timing.

Public Participation

Open qualification now; live permissionless consensus is not active.

Equal Terms

Founders participate like any ordinary validator

Genesis Validator Expectations

The original genesis already exists. For off-mainnet volunteer qualification, the following is a starting point, not approval to join live consensus or earn rewards.

Hardware Expectations

  • Modern multi-core CPU
  • Adequate RAM for workload execution
  • Fast storage (SSD recommended)
  • Reliable network connectivity

These are off-mainnet qualification expectations, not a validated production resource budget.

Technical Requirements

  • Linux server environment
  • Static IP address or reliable DNS
  • 24/7 operation capability
  • Monitoring infrastructure

See /docs/validators/requirements for scoped qualification limits.

Participation Requirements

  • Validator participation recommended
  • Familiarity with validator operations
  • Commitment to network security
  • Community engagement
