Whitepaper Lite 2.8.5

Concise overview of ZION's model aligned with the 2.8.5 "Milky Way" release.

Abstract

ZION is a consciousness-based blockchain designed to align material value with humanitarian impact and spiritual development. The TestNet explores a mining model with multipliers, long-horizon governance transition, and a transparent allocation for social good.

Tokenomics (v2.8.5 alignment)

• Total Supply: 144,000,000,000 ZION.
• Premine: 15,780,000,000 ZION (11%):
  • Mining Operators: 8.25B (2025–2035 consciousness rewards)
  • DAO Winners & Golden Egg: 1.75B
  • ZION OASIS Fund: 1.44B (AAA dev/marketing)
  • Infrastructure: 4.34B (dev, servers, charity)
• Mining: 128,220,000,000 ZION (89%) via multi‑algo over ~45 years.
• Humanitarian: 10–25% pool redistribution on mainnet (no extra issuance).

Consensus & Mining

• Multi‑Algorithm Mining: cosmic_harmony, randomx, yescrypt, autolykos_v2, and quantum_entanglement (research).
• Block Time: 150 seconds (~2.5 minutes).
• Consensus: WARP Engine + Proof‑of‑Work.
• ASIC‑Resistance Goals: Encourage decentralization and broad participation.
• Security: Standard cryptography with community‑driven audits and iterative hardening.

Consciousness Mining (Concept)

Participants receive reward multipliers based on development levels. The TestNet evaluates fair and ethical mechanisms aligned with the Full Whitepaper.

• Levels (1→9): Physical → Emotional → Intellectual → Intuitive → Mental → Spiritual → Cosmic → Galactic → On The Star
• Multipliers: up to ~7.5× (current v2.8.5 alignment)
• Intent: Align incentives with community ethics and humanitarian outcomes

Governance & Treasury

• 20-year transition toward full DAO governance.
• Treasury transparency with public reporting and community oversight.
• Proposal process to prioritize projects (education, healthcare, welfare).

Key Parameters (v2.8.5)

• Block time: 150 seconds (~2.5 minutes)
• Consensus: WARP Engine + Proof‑of‑Work
• Algorithms: cosmic_harmony, randomx, yescrypt, autolykos_v2, quantum_entanglement
• Total supply: 144B ZION
• Golden Egg Quest (HIRANYAGARBHA): special challenge with significant rewards

Roadmap & Risks

• Q4 2025 — TestNet 2.8.5: pool, Sacred Library RPC, docs
• 2026 — Multi‑chain bridges, mobile wallets, audits
• Q1 2027 — Mainnet v3.0 (DAO activation)
• Q2 2028 — OASIS public launch + Golden Egg hunt
• 2030 — 144,000 Grid activation (planetary shift)
• Risks: mechanism manipulation, governance capture, regulatory changes
