SOST Protocol

Sovereign Stock Token
ConvergenceX Proof-of-Work
Protocol

CPU-friendly blockchain with constitutional gold reserves. Every block mined allocates 25% to purchase tokenized precious metals and 25% to Proof of Personal Custody rewards — hardcoded at genesis, immutable forever.

What is SOST

Protocol Summary
IMMUTABLE BY DESIGN

SOST is a Proof-of-Work cryptocurrency where each mined block allocates 25% of issuance to an on-chain Metals Funding Vault by consensus. Conversions to XAUT/PAXG are operational actions executed with public attestations and auditable trails. The reserve is observable on Ethereum mainnet — not a peg, not a guarantee, but a verifiable commitment.

Monetary PolicySmooth exponential decay, Feigenbaum constants, ~30 years to 95% supply

Protocol Architecture

PILLAR 01
ConvergenceX PoW

Memory-hard proof-of-work requiring 4GB RAM scratchpad per thread. 100,000 sequential iterations prevent GPU/ASIC parallelization. ASERT difficulty targeting with cASERT overlay (L1–L5) for progressive hardening under fast-chain conditions.

PILLAR 02
Metals Reserve

25% of every block’s coinbase is allocated to the Gold Vault address by consensus. Accumulated SOST is converted to XAUT/PAXG via TWAP pipeline and deposited into a Heritage Reserve Vault on Ethereum mainnet. Observable reserve ratio — not a peg.

PILLAR 03
Proof of Personal Custody (PoPC)

25% of every block’s coinbase is allocated to the PoPC Pool address. Rewards distributed to holders who prove continued custody of their SOST through cryptographic attestation. Model A (self-custody bonds) and Model B (escrow timelock) available.
