LIQUA CHAIN

single-node reference · BLAKE3 PoW · continuous reward decay · ephemeral keypair claims

⚠ SINGLE-NODE REFERENCE — NOT A REAL L1

This is a working demonstration of the spec's mechanics, not the production chain.

One node. No P2P. No multi-node consensus. Anyone running this can fork it at will.
BLAKE3 PoW stands in for the spec's RandomX (faster to demo, same mechanism).
No transaction execution yet — pure block production + reward emission.
RPC at http://localhost:8765. /explorer.html?rpc=http://localhost:8765 reads it as a generic chain.
Phase 4 in /roadmap.html scales this to a real network — 12–18 months, senior Rust+Sol team, $1.5–2.5M.

⌬ Molecular framing. Each block is a successful cellular metabolic event — a "cell" (one mining hash run) producing output (a hash) the network accepts. The reward decay enforces a "fast twitch" pressure: late blocks earn less, like a cell that takes too long to express the right protein. Reward goes to an ephemeral keypair derived from the parent block hash + this node's id (spec §4c). On the real L1, miners would claim this on L2 only after K=12 confirmations — that's the reorg-safety gate built into the design. The chain you're watching here demonstrates the mechanism. The production version (Phase 4) replaces BLAKE3 with RandomX and adds the P2P + consensus + bridge layer.
