Nockchain is building a fast, private, programmable base layer secured by Proof of Useful Work.
Nockchain bootstrapped ZKPOW and is the largest ZK proving network in the world. It's built on Nock, a language stack developed for Urbit that turned out to be amazing for ZKPs.
So @nockchain is going to reuse AI inference that is already happening at scale, to secure their blockchain
Inference providers earn block rewards and Nockchain's security goes way up. Win/Win
On Bitcoin, the mining work secures the chain only
Nockchain replaces hashing with zero knowledge proofs. Consensus does not care what you computed, only that you produced a valid proof below the difficulty target
So the miner and the inference provider become the same entity!
Lets walk through an example
🕐 You run a GPU
🕑 A customer pays you to run their AI inference request
🕒 You serve them the answer, and in doing that you produce a ZK proof of the computation
🕓 That same proof is your lottery ticket against the block reward
🕕 If it lands below the target, you just secured a block while getting paid by the customer
🕖 One job, two payouts, and the network gets secured by real economic work instead of wasted hashing
Nockchain already made chain improvements recently with Phase 2 (2.5 minute blocks and a protocol fund) but this update moves taps them into a huge existing increase in security supply while hitting the privacy aspects well
@Delphi_Ventures are proud $NOCK holders and we really like @loganallc, @chiefgrug and the team. They have persevered through some big hurdles and delivered.
Tons of privacy shitcoins pop up while most still are ignoring the one with the most innovative and fundamental tech sub 50m. Repricing coming soon $NOCK
Fun fact:
$BELLS (Bellscoin) was created by Billy Markus (aka BillyM2K, co-founder of Dogecoin) roughly 8 days before $DOGE (Dogecoin) launched.

NEW: @circle ANNOUNCES “USDC WILL BECOME AN ALIGNED QUOTE ASSET ON HYPERLIQUID AND CONTINUE AS THE PRIMARY COLLATERAL ASSET ACROSS HIP-1, HIP-2, HIP-3, AND NOW HIP-4 MARKETS”
Fees in TON have dropped 6× — to nearly zero.
Next step — Telegram replaces the TON Foundation as the driving force behind TON and becomes its largest validator.
The focus shifts to tech superiority.
New https://t.co/wedqJMtRqb, new dev tools, new performance upgrades.
Timeline: 2-3 weeks.
If compute becomes a commodity, the real value won’t start in trading it starts in infrastructure. Before pricing, before markets, you need systems that can produce, verify, and standardize compute.
That’s where early asymmetry is and $NOCK is positioning.
The MOTO economy.
More projects launch → more volume flows through Motoswap → more fees go to MOTO stakers → more MOTO gets staked → deeper liquidity → more projects launch.
Every new project makes it spin faster 🐈⬛🛵
