Adamant

Adamant has two classes of participants. Both permissionless. Both first-class. → Node Runners secure the chain → Node Watchers verify the chain Same protocol. Different roles. Anyone can be either. adamantprotocol.com/genesis

Building the verifier passes that catch malformed bytecode before it executes on Adamant. This week's work: bounds checking (every index points somewhere valid), duplication detection (no duplicate handles or signatures), signature well-formedness (type tokens are structurally sound). 11 passes wired. Layer by layer. github.com/adamant-protoc…

After launch, perpetual issuance fixed at genesis: Yr 1–5: 4% / yr Yr 6–10: 3% Yr 11–20: 2% Yr 21+: 1%, forever Every newly-issued ADM flows to validators and their delegators. None to a foundation, none to a treasury. Base fees burned, balancing issuance. Full spec: github.com/adamant-protoc…

Phase 5 update: porting the Move bytecode verifier to an Adamant-native implementation rather than vendoring Sui's directly. Independence at the consensus boundary, with cross-validation parity tests against upstream as the audit anchor. Six passes complete, 956 tests passing. github.com/adamant-protoc…

Adamant's constitutional rule: newly-issued ADM goes only to validators. But we wanted phones to contribute too. New §9.10 + §10.5.5 let validators fund phone-run service nodes from their commission. Phones earn, issuance rule intact. github.com/adamant-protoc…

Whitepaper draft v0.1 is public. A Layer 1 that combines what no chain currently does: → Privacy by default → 200k+ TPS, sub-second finality → Encrypted mempool → Phone-verifiable → No foundation. No premine. No admin keys. Read & push back: github.com/adamant-protoc…
