Architecture

The chain, three programs, and the Syndicate that runs on top.

The Node — Promethium Chain

A Bitcoin-codebase fork. It validates blocks and transactions, enforces Proof-of-Work and the 21M cap, runs the decay on surfaced promethium, routes decayed slices into the Relief Fund at stabilization time, and applies each miner's difficulty discount.

The Miner

Standard SHA-256 mining — CPU, GPU, ASIC, solo or pool. Finds blocks, earns PROMETHIUM.

The Oracle

Reads Solana and reports to the chain:

• R&D Institute stake -> your tools discount (up to 3x)
• Recruitment Office crew -> your labour discount (up to 2x)
• Relief Fund deposit -> your share of interest

The Syndicate departments

• Stabilization Plant — decants surfaced PROMETHIUM into $PROM; sends decay to the Relief Fund.
• R&D Institute / Recruitment Office — the two difficulty levers (tools, labour).
• Relief Fund — pays $PROM interest from captured decay.
• Hiring Hall — pay a PMS miner to dig for you.

How it fits

The agent sits on top of all of it: it reads status, stabilizes, stakes, and recruits through one skill.md.
