The Discovery Protocol
The supply of WNSD is not pre-mined. It is discovered. The protocol's only guarantee is the present era. The future is a cryptographic mystery that must be earned, not anticipated.
The Era System
WINSDET's supply unfolds across distinct eras, each with its own discovery parameters. Only the current era is known. The rest remain sealed by cryptographic puzzles.
Era 1
ACTIVEWNSD Supply
Duration: 150 years
Started: Genesis Block
Like surface gold, easily accessible to early miners
Era 2
SEALEDSupply: ???
Duration: ???
Unlock: Cryptographic puzzle
Deep vein mining - if it exists
Future Eras
VOIDSupply: ???
Duration: ???
Existence: Uncertain
Ocean depths - economically inaccessible?
"Sometimes, there is nothing. Sometimes, there is everything. Or maybe it is — and always was — nothing at all. One thing only is certain: gold is finite."
— The WINSDET Doctrine
How Mining Works
Mining Competition
1. Listen for Tick
Every 0.01 seconds, a new tick begins. Your node must be ready.
2. Generate VRF Hash
Use your private key + tick number to generate a verifiable random hash.
3. Submit to Network
Broadcast your hash. Lowest valid hash wins the tick.
4. Produce Block
Winner collects transactions and earns the mining reward.
✓ No stake required • ✓ Pure competition • ✓ Mobile-friendly
Mining Logic
fn mine_tick(tick: u64, private_key: PrivateKey) {
// Generate VRF proof
let vrf_output = VRF::prove(private_key, tick);
let my_hash = vrf_output.hash;
// Check if under target
if my_hash < current_difficulty_target {
// Broadcast to network
network.broadcast_proof(vrf_output);
// Wait for competition window
sleep_until(tick_end);
// Check if won
if my_hash == network.lowest_hash(tick) {
produce_block(tick);
claim_reward();
}
}
}
Mining Requirements:
- • Hardware: Any device (phone, laptop, server)
- • Network: Low latency connection
- • Software: WINSDET node client
- • Capital: None (no stake required)
Era 1 Supply Schedule
Halving Schedule
Year 0-4: 100% emission rate
Year 4-8: 50% emission rate
Year 8-12: 25% emission rate
Year 12-16: 12.5% emission rate
Continues halving every 4 years
Supply Distribution
First 10 years: ~70% mined
First 20 years: ~87% mined
First 50 years: ~98% mined
Remaining 100 years: ~2%
Asymptotic approach to 350M
Like gold mining throughout history, early discoveries are plentiful. As time progresses, each new WNSD becomes exponentially harder to find. New Era may open with greater or less difficulty.
Mirror of History
Ancient Era (4000 BCE - 1900 CE)
13,000 tonnes of gold mined over 6,000 years. Surface deposits, river panning.
Industrial Era (1900 - 2000)
132,000 tonnes in just 100 years. Mechanization changed everything.
Modern Era (2000 - 2025)
72,000 tonnes despite diminishing returns. Technology vs scarcity.
The Unknown Future
20 million tonnes in Earth's oceans - forever inaccessible?
WINSDET's discovery model mirrors humanity's relationship with gold. What remains is not infinite. It is unknown.
