PoUC Network 1.0: An Independent Polkadot SDK Experiment for Verifiable Useful Contribution

Hi everyone — I’m building PoUC (Proof of Useful Contribution), an independent open-source experiment based on the Polkadot SDK. It is not an official Polkadot project, parachain, or endorsed integration.

PoUC explores how useful and verifiable work—starting with AI safety red-teaming, model evaluation, and privacy-preserving data processing—can produce signed attestations that are anchored on-chain and used for contribution history, credentials, and reputation.

The 1.0 repository includes:

  • PoUC runtime pallets for contribution attestations, verification, credentials, reputation, revocation, and collator-eligibility experiments
  • TypeScript SDK and API clients
  • AI Safety / Red-Team and evaluation DApps
  • An Android edge-node app, with a Pixel 6a tested as the first public testnet edge relay
  • Documentation and local testnet workflows

Version 1.0 does not require a native token or staking. The Android app is an edge/relay client, not a Polkadot validator or collator, and this testnet does not claim Polkadot shared security or production parachain status.

I would appreciate feedback on runtime boundaries, Polkadot SDK portability, node discovery and broadcast, collator eligibility, and the security model.
