That’s why I call it mining intelligence.” - Kepler ================================================================================ "Intelligence belongs to everyone" ================================================================================ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHAT IS SYNAPSENET? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ SynapseNet is a decentralized peer-to-peer network for collective intelligence.

We use battle-tested crypto (Ed25519, │ │ AES-256-GCM), but implementation bugs are possible. The code │ │ needs independent security audits before mainnet. │ │ │ │ ✗ PROTECTION AGAINST >50% COLLUSION │ │ If majority of validators collude, they can approve bad knowledge │ │ or reject good knowledge. This is the same 51% problem as Bitcoin. │ │ Mitigation: stake requirements + random selection + reputation. │ │ But it's not mathematically impossible to attack. │ │ │ │ ✗ OBJECTIVE TRUTH │ │ PoE determines CONSENSUS, not TRUTH. Network can agree on wrong │ │ information if validators are fooled or collude. We solve │ │ coordination, not epistemology. │ │ │ │ ✗ SPAM-FREE KNOWLEDGE │ │ LLM-generated garbage is a real threat. Our defenses (stake, │ │ validation, rate limits) raise the cost of spam but don't │ │ eliminate it. This is an ongoing arms race. │ │ │ │ ✗ GUARANTEED TOKEN VALUE │ │ NGT has no intrinsic value. Its worth depends entirely on │ │ network adoption and utility demand. If no one uses SynapseNet, │ │ NGT is worthless. I cannot promise otherwise. │ │ │ │ ✗ PERFECT PRIVACY │ │ Privacy mode significantly increases anonymity but global │ │ adversaries (nation-states monitoring all Tor traffic) may still │ │ correlate patterns over time. Anonymity is a spectrum. │ │ │ │ ✗ CENSORSHIP IMMUNITY │ │ Governments can block Tor, ban the software, or pressure ISPs. │ │ We make censorship expensive, not impossible. │ │ │ │ ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ WHY I'M TELLING YOU THIS: │ │ │ │ Satoshi never claimed Bitcoin was perfect. He acknowledged attack │ │ vectors, discussed 51% attacks openly, and let the math speak. │ │ │ │ I follow the same principle: honest engineering over marketing. │ │ If you find flaws, report them. That's how we improve. │ │ │ │ "The system is secure as long as honest nodes collectively control │ │ more CPU power than any cooperating group of attacker nodes." │ │ │ │ Same logic applies here: secure as long as honest validators │ │ collectively control more stake than attackers. │ │ │ │ - Kepler │ │ │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ CORE PHILOSOPHY ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 1.

In Web 3.0 we saw an obsession with finance (DeFi) become the center. SynapseNet calls the next step “Web 4.0”: • You talk to a local agent (a model you own, running on your hardware). • The agent can (optionally) fetch context from clearnet and onion sources, cross-check it, extract signal, and return a synthesized answer with citations. • This is not “search”. It is a digital cortex: an extension of cognition that lives on your machine, not on someone else’s API. In Web 4.0 the primary currencies are: • inference (compute you can provide or rent) • useful knowledge (Proof of Emergence) "Satoshi gave us money without banks. I will give you brains without corporations." ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ LOCAL AI MODEL HOSTING ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Every node runs a LOCAL AI model.

CRYPTOGRAPHY (Hybrid: Classic + Quantum-Ready) ───────────────────────────────────────────────── For v0.1: Use battle-tested crypto NOW, prepare for quantum LATER. ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ LAYER 1: CLASSIC (v0.1 - production ready) │ │ ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── │ │ Hashing: SHA-256 (Bitcoin-proven, 15+ years) │ │ Signatures: Ed25519 (fast, secure, widely used) │ │ Key Exchange: X25519 (Curve25519 ECDH) │ │ Encryption: AES-256-GCM (authenticated encryption) │ │ │ │ LAYER 2: QUANTUM-READY (v0.2+ - when audited) │ │ ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── │ │ Key Encapsulation: CRYSTALS-Kyber (NIST standard) │ │ Signatures: CRYSTALS-Dilithium or SPHINCS+ │ │ Hybrid Mode: Classic + Quantum (both must pass) │ │ │ │ UPGRADE PATH: │ │ ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── │ │ v0.1: Ed25519 + SHA-256 + AES-256 │ │ v0.2: Add Kyber/Dilithium as OPTIONAL layer │ │ v1.0: Hybrid mode mandatory (both classic + quantum) │ │ │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Why hybrid: • Classic crypto is battle-tested (billions of $$ secured) • Quantum crypto is new (needs more real-world testing) • Hybrid = if one breaks, other still protects • Smooth upgrade path without breaking network 2. DATA ENCRYPTION SCHEME ───────────────────────── How knowledge chunks are encrypted for replication: ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ ENCRYPTION FLOW: │ │ ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 1. User submits knowledge │ │ └─► Hash content with SHA-256 → content_hash │ │ │ │ 2. Generate encryption key │ │ └─► chunk_key = HKDF(user_private_key, content_hash, salt) │ │ │ │ 3. Encrypt content │ │ └─► encrypted_chunk = AES-256-GCM(chunk_key, content) │ │ │ │ 4. Sign encrypted chunk │ │ └─► signature = Ed25519_sign(user_private_key, encrypted_chunk) │ │ │ │ 5. Distribute to network │ │ └─► Other nodes receive: encrypted_chunk + signature + metadata │ │ │ │ ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ WHAT OTHER NODES SEE: │ │ ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ • Encrypted blob (cannot read content) │ │ │ │ • Signature (can verify authenticity) │ │ │ │ • Metadata: size, timestamp, category (not content) │ │ │ │ • Content hash (for deduplication, not reversible) │ │ │ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │ │ │ │ WHO CAN DECRYPT: │ │ ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ • Original owner (has private key) │ │ │ │ • Authorized consumers (key shared via protocol) │ │ │ │ • Protocol validators (for scoring, temporary access) │ │ │ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │ │ │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ 3. PROOF OF EMERGENCE v0 (Voting + Stake) ───────────────────────────────────────── How quality is determined without central authority: ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ FORMAL DEFINITION │ │ ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ Proof of Emergence (PoE) is a consensus mechanism for validating │ │ knowledge contributions through economic incentives and random voting. │ │ │ │ MATHEMATICAL FORMULATION: │ │ ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ Let K = knowledge submission │ │ │ │ Let S_k = stake deposited by submitter (minimum 10 NGT) │ │ │ │ Let V = {v1, v2, v3, v4, v5} = randomly selected validators │ │ │ │ Let S_v = stake of each validator (minimum 100 NGT) │ │ │ │ Let vote(v, K) ∈ {ACCEPT, REJECT, ABSTAIN} │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ACCEPTANCE CONDITION: │ │ │ │ K is accepted iff |{v : vote(v,K) = ACCEPT}| >= 3 │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ REWARD CALCULATION: │ │ │ │ reward(K) = base_rate * quality_score * (1 / (1 + network_load)) │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ where quality_score = avg(scores from accepting validators) │ │ │ │ and network_load = submissions_per_hour / baseline │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │ │ │ │ WHY NOT PROOF OF WORK? │ │ ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── │ │ PoW wastes energy solving arbitrary puzzles. Knowledge validation │ │ requires human judgment (for now). PoE channels economic incentives │ │ toward useful work: evaluating contributions. │ │ │ │ WHY NOT PROOF OF STAKE (like Ethereum)? │ │ ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── │ │ Pure PoS validates transactions, not content quality. PoE adds a │ │ subjective layer: validators must assess usefulness, not just │ │ cryptographic validity. │ │ │ │ ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ POE v0 MECHANISM: │ │ ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ STEP 1: Submission │ │ ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── │ │ • User submits knowledge chunk │ │ • Must stake minimum 10 NGT (refundable if accepted) │ │ • Stake lost if rejected as spam/garbage │ │ │ │ STEP 2: Validation │ │ ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── │ │ • 5 random validators selected (must have stake > 100 NGT) │ │ • Validators temporarily decrypt, review, vote │ │ • Voting: ACCEPT / REJECT / ABSTAIN │ │ • Majority wins (3/5 or more) │ │ │ │ STEP 3: Scoring │ │ ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── │ │ • If ACCEPTED: Quality Score = average of validator scores (1-100) │ │ • Reward = base_reward * quality_multiplier │ │ • Validators earn small fee for honest work │ │ │ │ STEP 4: Penalties │ │ ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── │ │ • Spam submission: lose stake (10 NGT) │ │ • Dishonest validator: lose reputation + stake slash │ │ • Consistent bad actors: banned from validation │ │ │ │ ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ ⚠️ KNOWN ATTACK VECTORS ON POE: │ │ ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ATTACK 1: Validator Collusion │ │ │ │ ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── │ │ │ │ If 3+ validators collude, they can approve garbage or reject │ │ │ │ good content. Mitigation: random selection from large pool, │ │ │ │ stake slashing for outlier votes, reputation decay. │ │ │ │ Effectiveness: reduces probability, doesn't eliminate. │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ATTACK 2: Stake Accumulation │ │ │ │ ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── │ │ │ │ Wealthy attacker buys enough stake to dominate validator pool. │ │ │ │ Mitigation: validator selection weighted by stake but capped, │ │ │ │ reputation matters more than raw stake over time. │ │ │ │ Effectiveness: raises cost, doesn't prevent nation-state actors. │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ATTACK 3: LLM Spam Flood │ │ │ │ ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── │ │ │ │ Generate plausible-looking garbage with AI to overwhelm network. │ │ │ │ Mitigation: stake requirement (10 NGT per submission), rate │ │ │ │ limits, validator training to detect AI-generated content. │ │ │ │ Effectiveness: economic barrier, but arms race continues. │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ATTACK 4: Sybil Validators │ │ │ │ ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── │ │ │ │ Create many fake identities to increase selection probability. │ │ │ │ Mitigation: 100 NGT minimum stake per validator, reputation │ │ │ │ builds slowly, random selection from stake-weighted pool. │ │ │ │ Effectiveness: expensive but not impossible. │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │ │ │ │ HONEST ASSESSMENT: │ │ PoE is a heuristic, not a mathematical proof. It makes attacks │ │ expensive, not impossible. Like Bitcoin's PoW, security depends on │ │ honest majority. If >50% of stake is malicious, the system fails. │ │ │ │ This is the best we can do without trusted third parties. │ │ │ │ ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ ANTI-SYBIL: │ │ ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ • Stake requirement prevents cheap fake identities │ │ │ │ • Random validator selection (can't choose your friends) │ │ │ │ • Reputation builds over time (new accounts have low weight) │ │ │ │ • Rate limiting per address (max X submissions per hour) │ │ │ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │ │ │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ 4.

What works. What was tested. January 2026 — Implementation snapshot (real code in this repo): • Deterministic PoE v1 engine: submit → PoW gate → votes → finalize → deterministic rewards (acceptance + epoch). • Transfers hardened: UTXO ownership enforced + block-ordered tx verification + min-fee policy + deterministic mempool eviction + atomic apply on block import/mine. • Transfer reorg safety: per-block UTXO undo log + deterministic rollback API (so forks can be handled cleanly when chain selection is added). • P2P hardened: framed streaming reads (no partial-msg bugs) + max message size checks + per-peer rate limits. • PoE novelty index: deterministic duplicate-content reject + SimHash bucket index for similarity checks. • TUI upgraded: AI Chat split panel + model download progress/resume + first-run Web/Tor/Onion opt-in (Screen::WEB_PROMPT) + proper input cursor editing. Note (honest status): • Validator set is static in dev mode; stake-based validator selection is a later milestone. • Chain selection / fork resolution is still in progress (transfer rollback is ready; the ledger needs fork-choice wiring). ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ COMPLETED: FIVE CORE SYSTEMS │ │ ═══════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ All systems have: │ │ ✓ Complete C++ implementation │ │ ✓ Logging with full context │ │ ✓ Graceful error handling │ │ ✓ Production-ready code patterns │ │ ✓ 40+ unit tests (GoogleTest framework) │ │ ✓ Integration with config system │ │ │ │ SYSTEM 1: STREAMING TOKENS │ │ ══════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ What it is: Real-time token generation with callbacks │ │ Status: ✓ LIVE │ │ │ │ Before (batch mode): │ │ ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ user: "write code" │ │ │ │ [waiting.................15 seconds later.....................] │ │ │ │ AI: "Here is the code" (entire response at once) │ │ │ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │ │ │ │ After (streaming): │ │ ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ user: "write code" │ │ │ │ AI: "Here" [0.1s] → "is" [0.2s] → "the" [0.3s] → "code" [0.4s] │ │ │ │ (tokens appear as they're generated) │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ User can hit Ctrl+C to stop anytime (not stuck waiting for full │ │ │ │ response).

What we didn't include: ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ NOT YET (for v0.2): │ │ ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ ✗ Web intelligence │ │ We planned: AI searches darknet + clearnet, inject context into LLM │ │ Reality: Requires Tor integration (safe mode) + error handling. │ │ Status: Code exists, need deeper security audit before live. │ │ │ │ ✗ Privacy layer (optional --privacy-mode) │ │ We planned: Tor routing, stealth addresses, Dandelion++, mix network │ │ Reality: Implemented, but needs independent security audit. │ │ Status: Code exists, not enabled in v0.1. │ │ │ │ ✗ Ultimate quantum security │ │ We planned: Kyber, Dilithium, SPHINCS+, OTP, QKD integration │ │ Reality: Implemented, but needs cryptographic review. │ │ Status: Code exists, disabled by default for v0.1. │ │ │ │ ✗ Darknet model marketplace │ │ We planned: Trade models P2P, earn NGT for sharing │ │ Reality: Infrastructure exists, need payment processing. │ │ Status: Partially implemented, roadmap for v0.3. │ │ │ │ ✗ Consensus & validation │ │ We planned: Full Proof of Emergence voting, stake slashing │ │ Reality: Basic consensus logic exists, needs Byzantine tolerance. │ │ Status: v0.2 feature. │ │ │ │ ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ Why we didn't ship those: │ │ │ │ 1. SECURITY FIRST — Won't ship crypto without audit │ │ (This killed Bitcoin 0.0. We don't repeat mistakes.) │ │ │ │ 2. HONEST TIMELINE — Better to ship 5 systems well than 15 half-baked │ │ (Users trust systems that work, not promised features.) │ │ │ │ 3. TESTING MATTERS — 40+ tests per system, not false confidence │ │ (Bugs in v0.1 would kill adoption. Rushing = failure.) │ │ │ │ │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ROADMAP: ──────── v0.1-alpha (DONE) ✓ Streaming tokens + error reporting ✓ Model persistence + auto-load ✓ Scan paths configuration ✓ Unit tests (40+) v0.2 (Q1 2026) • Web intelligence (clearnet + .onion search) • Consensus voting system (Proof of Emergence) • Basic privacy layer (optional) v0.3 (Q2 2026) • Darknet model marketplace • Payment processing (NGT transactions) • Advanced privacy (Dandelion++, mix networks) v0.4 (Q3 2026) • Quantum security (Kyber, Dilithium) • Network optimization • TUI enhancements v1.0 (Q4 2026) • Mainnet launch • Full Byzantine consensus • External security audit results This is not a promise. This is a roadmap. Timelines slip. Features change. But core principles don't: security first, honest communication, users before hype. Like Satoshi said: "The network is robust in its unstructured simplicity." v0.1 proves that. ================================================================================
