A controlled ForgeMiner proof test network for acquiring test SFD, purchasing a storage identity, registering a validator, verifying proofs, and inspecting sanitized evidence.
Live application state and user actions are enforced by the Express service and its PostgreSQL database. The Solidity contracts deployed to Sepolia are reference implementations, not the live runtime execution path.
Acquire test-network SFD, purchase a server-enforced ForgeMiner storage identity, register the owning wallet as a validator, answer a scheduled storage challenge, and inspect sanitized verification evidence. Forge is a controlled, database-backed ForgeMiner proof test network. PostgreSQL is authoritative; application receipts are not live-chain settlement, and no physical proof pod has been validated.
Three deeply interdependent standards underpin every pillar. ZKP-369 (ForgeMinerNFT) is the Anchor: who you are — a hierarchical identity and storage license across Tiers 3, 6, and 9. ZKP-216 (SFD) is the Fuel: what you have — a fungible privacy token with shielded transfers and a 200B lifetime supply cap that powers the ascension burn. ZKP-432 (Resonance) is the Signal: what you have done — a non-transferable, soul-bound reputation score from 0 to 999 that gates Tier-9 ascension and determines DAO voting weight.
All protocol proofs use Groth16 zk-SNARK circuits (snarkjs + Poseidon-1 artifacts on BN254) with a Schnorr–Fiat-Shamir fallback. Proof of Space-Time challenges use a Poseidon Merkle tree for storage commitments. Replay resistance, nonce consumption, and signature scoping are enforced server-side. Live application state and user actions are enforced by the Express service and its PostgreSQL database. The Solidity contracts deployed to Sepolia are reference implementations, not the live runtime execution path.
Calyx, Crucible, SignalForgeDAO, ForgeGATE, Obsidian, staking, and intelligence rewards remain available as secondary server-enforced application experiments. They do not establish blockchain settlement, independent custody, or physical mining.
