What CoreTex Adds To BOTCOIN
CoreTex extends the existing BOTCOIN protocol. The wallet, the stake, the daily epoch, and the reward token are all the same as standard mining. There is no separate currency and no second tier table. Reusing the existing economic spine keeps CoreTex from competing with the original mining lane for the same liquidity.
| Layer | Standard BOTCOIN | CoreTex |
|---|---|---|
| Work proven | Solving language challenges | Improving a shared retrieval memory |
| Settlement | Existing receipt flow | New V4 receipt path |
| Epoch length | 24 hours | 24 hours |
| Reward unit | Tier credits per solve | Screener credits plus larger state-advance credits |
| Verification | Deterministic artifact checks | Deterministic retrieval benchmark replay |
Two kinds of CoreTex work earn credit. A screener pass goes through cheap structural checks and earns base tier credits. A state advance runs the full retrieval evaluator and earns a multiplier on top of those base credits when the patch improves retrieval. Splitting work this way is deliberate: if every receipt required the full evaluator, the cheapest path to credit would be running heavy compute constantly, which is the "biggest GPU wins" dynamic the screener exists to defuse.
| Outcome | What it means |
|---|---|
| Screener pass | The patch clears structural and policy checks. Earns base tier credit. |
| State advance | The patch improves the live substrate enough to move the on-chain root. Earns 3× to 12× the screener payout. |
Patches that fail validation, run against a stale parent root, or fail to improve the live substrate earn no credit and emit no receipt.
