Leviathan / Avalanche C-Chain /block /mesh 24 Stack How Produce Mesh The wire Upgrade AVAX

Avalanche × Bitcoin

LEVIATHAN

Compute infrastructure inside Avalanche so the chain can help secure Bitcoin, however small. A share that meets the job is participation. A header the tip accepts is participation. A satoshi is not required for that sentence to be true.

01 · Produce

The chain owns the job

Pool is the Bitcoin job owner. ASICs, rented hash, this tab: same submitShare. Mining and verification stay split the way Bitcoin’s do. Real SHA-256d on that job is helping secure Bitcoin.

02 · Consume

Only real headers move state

BtcTip will not take a header that did not meet work. Bridged proceeds become native BTC.b. Energy is LVN the protocol mints to itself.

03 · Property

A token is a slot

Launch mesh is 24 processors, one tickAll, every gate in the network for sale. Shop is contracts + tests — not on C-Chain yet.

How it works

Avalanche shows up in Bitcoin’s work.

Not by wrapping a coin. By doing the work: a share against a job this chain owns, a header this chain will only accept if it met difficulty. Then the money, if any, comes home as native BTC.b and becomes energy.

What every chain already does

Asset interoperability

  1. Bitcoin
  2. Official bridge / wrapper
  3. BTC.b sitting on C-Chain
  • Does not finance a miner
  • Does not add SHA-256 demand
  • Does not make Avalanche participate in Bitcoin security

What this stack does

Security interoperability

  1. Hashpower aimed at a coinbase the chain owns
  2. Valid share / valid header / found block
  3. Bridged proceeds → BTC.b reserve → LVN energy
  • Same submitShare an ASIC would send
  • Tip refuses a header that did not meet work
  • A share is helping secure Bitcoin. A satoshi is not required.
01

Someone hashes a Bitcoin header

This tab, an ASIC, rented hash — same job. The header’s coinbase pays bc1qnhap9735hga53mrfl6lg64w82hxcsr8fvlrj93 (P2WPKH, payoutScript 00149dfa12fa34ba3b48ec69febe8d55c755cd880ce9). The chain is the pool owner, not a hosted Stratum shop. You can try it below under Produce. There is no live job until a Pool address is in the box.

02

The share is checked with SHA-256, not with NAND gates

Pool.submitShare verifies the header the way Bitcoin does: hash, bits, the job’s merkle path. Walking our SHA netlist is a view — you can watch 501,249 NAND gates find the real nonce of block 125552 in this browser. That is not how a share is accepted. The work is still SHA-256d toward Bitcoin. That is helping secure Bitcoin. It is not “we are the network.”

03

A found block is Bitcoin. Bridging is a human.

If a block is actually found, satoshis land on Bitcoin, not on Avalanche. Someone takes that UTXO through the official Avalanche Bridge. Native BTC.b shows up. Treasury.ingest pulls it in. The contract does not bridge. The netlist hasher will not fill this treasury. ASICs and rented hash might, after a bridge.

04

BTC.b is reserve. LVN minted to the protocol is energy.

1 sat of BTC.b backs 1e18 LVN. There is no redemption. Ingest mints that LVN to the Protocol itself. Bonds do the same for a fee. That Protocol balance is energy. Policy pays a worker for a share and a keeper for clocking the Mesh by transferring Protocol LVN — it does not mint to them. If the balance is too small, the share or tick still happens and nobody is paid. Callers always pay AVAX gas. LVN cannot.

05

Transistors are why someone takes LVN

Each ERC-721 is one slot in a frozen netlist: NAND or DFF. You buy it with LVN. That LVN goes back to the Protocol as energy. Keepers who were paid in LVN can sell it to someone who wants a gate. The AVAX leg of that trade is a market, not a contract. The shop is built and tested. It is not on C-Chain yet. Owning a gate is not a claim on BTC or a per-cycle payout.

06

Twenty-four processors, one clock edge

Mesh.tickAll clocks all 24 in one transaction. Same EVM, same AVAX gas. Not a subnet. Measured 6.88M gas — under a 40M C-Chain tick. Every NAND and DFF on that mesh is a token you can buy with LVN. The shop is built. It is not on C-Chain until launch.

The longer argument — validators financing real hashpower from settled rewards — is Upgrade AVAX. This page is the produce side you can run: a job, a share, a header, a clock.

Launch mesh · 24 processors, one tick

Mesh.tickAll clocks every node in one transaction. Launch size is 24. Measured: 6,884,841 gas for a 24-node tick (test_TwentyFourFitOneTick). C-Chain block is 40M, so it fits. Every slot on every node is a transistor for sale (24 × 2,724 = 65,376). Perpetual clock is Gas Killer: operators run the 24 off-chain, one Schnorr settleAll writes the states. Gas does not scale with cycle count. tickAll stays if the signer disappears. Energy pays the AVAX. L32 on-chain tick is 10.3M each — 24 of those do not fit one tickAll. Settled, they do.

One million clock cycles settled on Avalanche in one transaction (block 92,994,599) for 154,314 gas. 248,549 × 1,000,000 is what the same work would cost gate-by-gate — derived, not a 1e6-cycle run(). One configured Schnorr key, one ecrecover. Not a quorum. Not slashing. The 4004 panel continues with verify() — a view. It does not move the on-chain clock. Netlist 0xB754…6dF4 is immutable SSTORE2.

EXPECTED TIME / SHARE
Hash in this tab, settle the share on Avalanche. Same submitShare an ASIC gateway sends. You pay AVAX gas. A share is not a satoshi. Production energy is LVN the protocol mints to itself — Fuel is the old placeholder and must not sit next to Policy. If no pool address is posted, this tab can still hash and cannot chain-mine. A mainnet shareBits will not finish here.

EXPECTED TIME TO A BLOCK
Probability per hash is 1 / (difficulty × 2³²) and nothing changes it. There is no ordering, no seed, no structure to exploit — we tested for one in TensorHash across five separate approaches (tensor rank, MPS bond dimension, mixed Boolean derivatives) and falsified all of them. Only hash rate moves this number, so the only honest optimisation is more gates per second.

Energy · the loop

Reserve

Native BTC.b. 1 sat backs 1e18 LVN. No redemption. Treasury does not withdraw.

Energy

LVN the protocol mints to itself on ingest and on the bond fee. Policy spends that balance.

Demand

Transistors sold for LVN. Proceeds return as energy. Shop is contracts + tests — not on C-Chain yet.

Gas

Callers pay AVAX. LVN cannot pay C-Chain. Keepers sell LVN to someone who wants a gate.

This is the produce side of Upgrade AVAX: security interoperability, not a wrapped coin. A bridged token does not finance a miner. A share that meets a chain-owned job does. Stopped is not dead — anyone can still tick and pay gas themselves.
