Public testnet running SHA-256d Proof-of-Work, ML-DSA-65 post-quantum signatures, and four regional mining pools. Open to every SHA-256 ASIC.
Four regional stratum endpoints, two reward models. PPLNS smooths variance for steady payouts; solo gives the full block reward when you find one. Pick the closest pool by latency.

Every standard SHA-256 ASIC works. From a $200 Bitaxe on a kitchen counter to a multi-petahash farm. Same protocol, same rewards per unit of work, no permissioning.
