Show HN: PRFI Protocol - Turn your API events into blockchain tokens

I've built a decentralized protocol that allows companies to mine PRFIC tokens through proof-of-work based on real API events. No central servers required.

Key features: • 100% decentralized architecture - each company mines their own tokens • Robust proof-of-work with SHA-256 and configurable difficulty • Fixed supply cap: 122M tokens maximum (80% to companies, 20% to treasury) • 1,000 API events = 1 PRFIC token • Anti-fraud mechanisms: Merkle trees, digital signatures, rate limiting • ERC-20 compatible, deployed on Ethereum/Polygon

The protocol transforms API infrastructure costs into tokenized assets. Companies register themselves on the smart contract, process API events normally, and automatically receive PRFIC tokens through cryptographic mining.

Technical highlights: - Smart contract: 0xE658F9f9b15B5A8AA51AAaE9e9478E5fdb19d794 (Sepolia) - Python client with async support - Gas-optimized batch transactions - Multi-chain support (Ethereum, Polygon)

This could be interesting for fintech, e-commerce, and SaaS companies processing millions of API events monthly. The deflationary tokenomics (limited supply + growing demand) create natural value appreciation.

Looking for feedback on the technical architecture and potential use cases. The entire codebase is open source under MIT license.
