Description
Proof-of-Reasoning (POR)
This teaser is not an explanation.
It is a signal.
Decentralized AI rewards output similarity.
It assumes reasoning.
Proof-of-Reasoning challenges that assumption.
POR introduces structured logical validation as a subnet primitive within the TAO ecosystem.
Miners submit decomposed proofs.
Validators score reasoning integrity.
Median consensus determines truth alignment.
Emission follows logic — not surface appearance.
The 8-second mystery reflects the core thesis:
If reasoning matters, it must be verifiable.
Full architecture, incentive mechanics, and consensus design are detailed in the demo and documentation.
POR is not another content subnet.
It is infrastructure.
Progress During Hackathon
Progress During Hackathon :
During this hackathon, the following milestones were completed for the Proof-of-Reasoning (POR) subnet:
- Defined the structured proof submission format for miner outputs.
- Designed validator scoring rubric across three dimensions:
- Logical coherence
- Step validity
- Conclusion correctness
- Modeled median consensus aggregation logic for collusion resistance.
- Drafted incentive alignment framework linking miner rewards to reasoning quality and validator rewards to alignment accuracy.
- Produced architecture diagrams outlining Miner, Validator, Aggregation, and Emission layers.
- Developed demo walkthrough video demonstrating structured proof validation flow.
- Prepared whitepaper-style documentation formalizing subnet design principles.
Current Focus:
Refinement of validator deviation tracking and simulation of scoring variance under adversarial conditions.
The objective throughout the hackathon has been architectural clarity and incentive robustness rather than premature deployment.
