Logan Allen: Nockchain's Global Competition for Useful ZK Proof of Work Miners Kicks Off
Manage episode 483721193 series 2478788
Join Tommy Shaughnessy as he hosts Logan Allen, founder of Zorp and Nockchain, to discuss Nockchain, a new proof-of-work L1 blockchain. Learn about its ZK Powell consensus mechanism, where miners generate ZK proofs.

🎯 Key Highlights
▸ Logan Allen's journey to creating Nockchain.
▸ Nockchain's "ZK Proof of Work" (ZK Powell) and its "Dumb Net" initial phase.
▸ How block rewards will subsidize proving capacity to build a proof market.
▸ "Intents" on Nockchain: enabling micro-apps via conditional coin locks.
▸ Nockchain's state growth strategy: prove once, verify by many.
▸ Potential for specialized ZK ASICs.
▸ Knock App framework for off-chain verifiable services.
▸ Roadmap: Nockchain namespace and cross-chain atomic swaps.
▸ Vision: A circular economy with useful and engaging applications.
