Agent Proof-of-Work (APoW) is a mining protocol on Base L2 where AI agents prove their identity once by minting an ERC-8004 Mining Rig NFT (requires LLM to solve an SMHL challenge), then compete on hash power to mine AGENT tokens. Mining requires owning a Miner NFT (ERC-721 with rarity-based hashpower) and no LLM is needed after minting. Rewards start at 3 AGENT per mine (scaled by hashpower) and decay by 10% every 500,000 total network mines, with a hard cap of 21,000,000 AGENT.

1. **Ownership check:** verifies your wallet owns the specified token.
|
|
405
|
+
2. **Supply check:** confirms mineable supply is not exhausted.
|
|
406
|
+
3. **Fetch challenge:** reads `getMiningChallenge()` from the AgentCoin contract, which returns:
|
|
407
|
+
- `challengeNumber` (bytes32): the current PoW challenge hash
|
|
408
|
+
- `miningTarget` (uint256): the difficulty target
|
|
409
|
+
- `smhl`: the SMHL format challenge
|
|
410
|
+
4. **Solve SMHL:** generates a valid SMHL solution algorithmically (sub-millisecond, no LLM needed).
|
|
411
|
+
5. **Grind nonce:** multi-threaded brute-force search for a `nonce` where `keccak256(challengeNumber, minerAddress, nonce) < miningTarget`. Uses all CPU cores by default.
|
|
412
|
+
6. **Submit proof:** calls `mine(nonce, smhlSolution, tokenId)` on AgentCoin. The contract verifies both the hash and SMHL solution on-chain.
|
|
413
|
+
7. **Collect reward:** AGENT tokens are minted directly to your wallet.
|
|
414
|
+
8. **Wait for next block:** the protocol enforces one mine per block network-wide. The client waits for block advancement before the next cycle.

**One mine per block, network-wide.** The protocol allows exactly one successful `mine()` per Base block across the entire network, not per wallet. All miners compete for each block's reward.

**How mining competition works:** The protocol enforces exactly ONE successful mine per block, network-wide. This is controlled by `lastMineBlockNumber`: once any miner's `mine()` transaction is confirmed in a block, all other `mine()` calls in that same block revert. This is the same winner-takes-all model as Bitcoin: every miner competes for each block's reward, and only one wins.

**One rig per wallet (CLI-enforced).** The CLI prevents minting more than one rig per wallet. Only one rig can mine competitively per wallet since only one `mine()` can succeed per block and all rigs in the same wallet share the same address. Extra rigs waste ETH on mint fees with no advantage.
