BTX is a peer-to-peer computational settlement system with neutral rules, verifiable by anyone, and durable under pressure. Here is what that unlocks, and why it is worth your hardware.
Block production is 512×512 matrix multiplication over the M31 field, bound to present chain state. The hardware that secures BTX is the same class that trains AI: security spend that stays productive outside mining.
ML-DSA-44 (FIPS 204) for routine spends, SLH-DSA-128s (FIPS 205) for recovery, adopted from block zero. The migration problem other chains still face is absent by design.
The same matrix-multiplication work that secures blocks also gates services. A caller proves fresh, chain-bound compute to earn access, throttling API abuse, signup spam, and AI-inference endpoints with no account and no token. Proof-of-work as a pass for the agent economy.
The chain continuously publishes a tamper-evident benchmark of real computational cost. Anyone can read it with no account and no token: a public measure anchored to work.
BTX is a settlement base, not a monolithic runtime. Banks, exchanges, bridges, and agent services settle above it. Exit rights are protocol concerns, not operator favours.
Spend policies are committed when an output is created. Counterparties verify scope at settlement, with no discretionary approval in the middle: the chain reveals what each party is authorised to do.
Most blockchains ask you to trust an administrator. BTX asks you to verify the rules.

The world is racing to build matrix-multiply hardware. BTX turns that same compute into monetary security instead of pure cost.
Legacy chains face a painful signature migration. BTX shipped post-quantum cryptography from genesis, so there is nothing to scramble to fix.
Administered systems keep failing in public. BTX removes the administrator from final settlement and lets anyone verify the rules.
Your GPUs already do matrix math for AI. On BTX, that same 512×512 work secures a monetary network and pays you in BTX. No stranded hardware, no single-purpose ASICs, just compute that stays productive whether it is training models or settling value. poolbtx makes joining one command, with live payouts and per-machine scoring.
