HASHORA PROJECT

How It Works

Understand the proof-of-work concepts behind Hashora and engineering decisions still to be finalised.

Design overview

Proof of work in brief

Miners hash candidate block data in search of a result that satisfies the network difficulty target. A valid block is broadcast, and independent nodes verify it against consensus rules.

From transaction to block

  1. A wallet creates and signs a transaction.
  2. The transaction is shared with the network.
  3. A miner selects valid transactions and builds a candidate block.
  4. Mining hardware searches for valid proof of work.
  5. Nodes check the block and its transactions.
  6. The network follows its consensus rules to determine the accepted chain.

Mining is not guaranteed income

A miner’s expected share of block discoveries depends on its hash rate relative to the network. Pool shares are accounting records; they are not themselves blockchain block rewards.

Decisions Hashora must publish

  • Block interval and difficulty-adjustment algorithm.
  • Block subsidy, issuance schedule and any supply limit.
  • Transaction rules, fees and confirmation policy.
  • Peer-to-peer parameters and reorganisation protections.
  • Mining templates and Stratum compatibility details.
SHA-256 hardware compatibility alone does not guarantee compatibility with Hashora. Consensus rules, block templates and mining-protocol integration must match.
