Proving is the one useful GPU workload that is cheaply verifiable by construction. A proof is right or it is not, and a phone can check it in milliseconds.
Blocks carry transactions only and make no claim about state. Every node executes the ordered transactions natively at once, so users see their transaction land in about a second. The execution is then split into shards of a fixed proving cost. Miners claim shards with a small bond, prove them on consumer cards, and the shard proofs are folded by recursive aggregation into one proof for the block. That proof lands on-chain within about a minute at launch. Because the proof computes the state from the ordered sequence, a block with a wrong state cannot exist. Invalid transactions are skipped by rule, the way Kaspa skips conflicting spends.
+Blocks carry transactions only and make no claim about state. Every node executes the ordered transactions natively at once, so users see their transaction land in about a second. The execution is then split into shards of a fixed proving cost. Shards are assigned by lot to eight provers for ten seconds, then open to anyone; there is no bond. Provers run them on consumer cards, and the shard proofs are folded by recursive aggregation into one proof for the block. That proof lands on-chain within about a minute at launch. Because the proof computes the state from the ordered sequence, a block with a wrong state cannot exist. Invalid transactions are skipped by rule, the way Kaspa skips conflicting spends.
Gas prices execution. Proving cost is a different number, so Igneum meters it separately: every transaction pays in both dimensions, and each block has a proving-cost budget set in consensus from measured prover throughput. A transaction that is cheap to run and expensive to prove pays for what it costs the provers. Shard size will be set so a 12 GB card proves one shard in about 20 seconds. That number is the first gate on the roadmap and has not been measured yet; once it has, the budget rises by schedule as hardware improves. The proof system is hash-based, which is what runs on consumer cards, and sits behind a versioned interface, so Igneum can adopt a better proof system when one exists by a miner-signalled release, and runs for ever on the current one if none is adopted.
Every 30 seconds of chain a checkpoint forms, deep enough past the tip that the DAG will not reorder it. Every miner with at least 100 blocks in the last 30 days signs it, and the checkpoint locks when signatures representing two thirds of the active mining weight arrive. Once a checkpoint is locked it overrides the heaviest chain, so no amount of fresh hashrate can reorganise past it. In the chain's first month the weights behind those locks are thin, because nobody has a long history yet, and the chain leans on proof of work and the one-hour depth limit the way every new proof-of-work chain does.
A miner's vote weight is simply the blocks it has mined over the trailing 30 days, measured by work, so splitting into many keys buys nothing and joining a pool costs nothing. Hashrate that arrived today holds almost none of it. Even an attacker who brought the whole network's hashrate would need ten days of mining in public to hold a third of the weight, and twenty days to hold two thirds. At 51% of the network they never reach two thirds at all while the honest miners keep mining. Rental is priced by the hour. The only route left is to drive honest miners off the chain and hold two thirds for a month on the public hashrate charts, which is the same limit Bitcoin lives with, with a month's warning attached.
-Two further rules close the gaps. Only miners who are present count: a key that stops signing drops out of the denominator within two hours, so a silent minority cannot freeze finality and a lock never waits for miners who have left. And Kaspa's one-hour merge-depth bound limits any reorganisation beneath the latest lock. Signing two different checkpoints at the same height is equivocation, provable by anyone, and it strips the key of its vote for 30 days.
+Two further rules close the gaps. A key that stops signing drops out of the active count within two hours. A lock still needs 56.7% of all 30-day weight, so if more than about 42% of weight goes quiet finality pauses until it returns or ages out, up to 30 days, and the chain runs on proof of work meanwhile. The node reports the pause. And Kaspa's one-hour merge-depth bound limits any reorganisation beneath the latest lock. Signing two different checkpoints at the same height is equivocation, provable by anyone, and it strips the key of its vote for 30 days.
No stake. No coin-holder class votes on anything. No anchoring into Bitcoin or any other chain. Nothing in Igneum's consensus depends on anything outside Igneum.

External proving fees pay 90% to the provers who delivered and burn 10%. The hard cap fixes supply. Demand comes from use of the chain and from outsiders buying proofs, and both reduce supply as they happen. Emission is untouched by any of this: every coin minted still goes to miners and provers.

There is no development fund. A switch that routes money to an address somebody controls is the first thing a critic points at, so Igneum has none. The protocol carries no fee to any team, foundation or fund. The team earns in the open: it runs provers in the job market and collects the app share on the contracts it deploys, like anyone else. If the community ever wants a grant mechanism, miners can add one by signalling.
