TOS Network Mining Features

TOS Network introduces the world’s first dual-track mining system, combining traditional Proof-of-Work (PoW) with revolutionary AI-Mining that transforms computational waste into productive work. This innovative approach embodies TOS’s core principle of “Don’t Trust, Verify it” while maximizing network efficiency and inclusivity.

Dual-Track Mining Overview

The Innovation

Traditional blockchain mining wastes enormous computational power on meaningless puzzles. TOS Network revolutionizes this with a dual approach:


Traditional Mining (88% of rewards)
├── Proof-of-Work consensus
├── Network security through hashpower
├── Standard ASIC and GPU mining
└── Familiar mining ecosystem

AI-Mining (12% of rewards)
├── Productive AI services
├── Real-world value creation
├── IoT to enterprise participation
└── Reputation-based rewards

Network Security Model

Both mining tracks contribute to network security:


pub struct DualTrackSecurity {
    pub traditional_hashrate: HashRate,
    pub ai_mining_participants: u32,
    pub combined_security_score: f64,
}
 
impl DualTrackSecurity {
    pub fn calculate_security_level(&self) -> SecurityLevel {
        let pow_contribution = self.traditional_hashrate.security_contribution();
        let ai_contribution = self.ai_mining_participants.diversity_security();
 
        SecurityLevel {
            base_security: pow_contribution,
            enhanced_security: ai_contribution,
            total_security: pow_contribution + ai_contribution,
            attack_resistance: self.calculate_attack_resistance()
        }
    }
}

Traditional Mining (PoW)

Mining Algorithm

TOS uses a custom RandomX-based algorithm optimized for both ASICs and GPUs:


pub struct TOSMiningAlgorithm {
    pub base_algorithm: RandomX,
    pub difficulty_adjustment: DynamicDifficulty,
    pub block_time_target: Duration, // 15 seconds
    pub mining_rewards: RewardSchedule,
}
 
impl TOSMiningAlgorithm {
    pub fn mine_block(&self, block_template: BlockTemplate) -> Option<Block> {
        let nonce = 0u64;
        loop {
            let hash = self.calculate_hash(&block_template, nonce);
 
            if self.meets_difficulty_target(&hash) {
                return Some(Block {
                    header: block_template.header,
                    nonce: nonce,
                    hash: hash,
                    timestamp: SystemTime::now(),
                });
            }
 
            nonce += 1;
        }
    }
 
    fn calculate_hash(&self, template: &BlockTemplate, nonce: u64) -> Hash256 {
        let mut data = template.serialize();
        data.extend_from_slice(&nonce.to_le_bytes());
 
        self.base_algorithm.hash(&data)
    }
}
