SHA-256d
Proof of work uses double SHA-256, making the work format familiar to standard SHA-256 hardware.
A Bitcoin-style UTXO protocol with its own mainnet identity and AuxPoW support.
Proof of work uses double SHA-256, making the work format familiar to standard SHA-256 hardware.
Auxiliary proof of work is active from block 1. Parent work can secure a VMESH child block.
Difficulty follows an ASERT-based adjustment model with a 120-second block target.
Initial block subsidy with a halving interval of 1,051,200 blocks. The genesis output is unspendable; regular VMESH creation begins with mined block rewards.
VPF1 uses a normal VargaMesh transaction with an unspendable OP_RETURN: 4-byte VPF1 magic plus 32 bytes of SHA-256. No consensus change is required.
The file itself is not stored on-chain. The confirming block provides a publicly verifiable latest-existence time for the exact digest.
