Update to the KNOX Protocol: VELOXREPAER

Now... Allow me a moment to introduce VeloxReaper

Someone has gots do it, so I did it. Classical PoW is officially obsolete. While the rest of the industry plays in the ARX-based sandbox of the 90s, Rocka and I have weaponized the physics of the polynomial ring for the KNOX Protocol. We have have fully scrapped Argon2 and built + implemented VeloxReaper, the worlds first anti-ASIC lattice bouncer, governed by the immutable law of Cumulative Lattice Hardening (CLH).

THE SYBIL BOUNCER: VeloxReaper

VeloxReaper isnt just a hash function ,it is a high-entropy memory-hard bouncer that turns silicon into a liability.

    100% Pure Lattice Arithmetic: VeloxReaper operates entirely within the polynomial ring Rq =Z12289 [X]/(X1024+1). Every state transition is an affine bilinear mix (M[i]=a⋅b+Kr ⋅a+b). There is zero classical hashing, no Keccak, no BLAKE, and no bitwise manipulation.

The 512MB DRAM Latency Wall: I enforced a 512MB DAG. This is the hardware dead zone....too massive for any CPU L3 cache (SRAM) on Earth, but perfectly optimized for the 1GB RAM footprint of a $5/month VM.

Zero Bias Address Mapping: Rocka and I solved the 24MB SRAM Trap using a massive q4 integer division mapping. By packing four coefficients into a Z-scalar (Z=c0 +c1 q+c2 q2+c3 q3), we achieve perfectly uniform addressing across the entire DAG depth. There are no hot spots for ASICs to exploit.

Galois Scrambling: To prevent algebraic shortcuts, we apply a cyclotomic automorphism ϕt :X→Xt at every step. This shuffles coefficients spatially across the 4KB block, destroying subspace confinement and ensuring total diffusion.

Native SIS Proof-of-Work: We replaced hash-counting with a native Short Integer Solution (SIS) witness. Miners solve for a witness v that satisfies the norm bound ∥Apub ⋅v(modq)∥∞ <ϵ.

Asymmetric Verification: While the miner must thrash 512MB of RAM to generate the proof, a light client can verify the block in nanoseconds using a single matrix vector multiplication.

THE CONSENSUS ENGINE: PROOF OF TIME (CLH) Tick Tock

VeloxReaper handles the entry fee; Cumulative Lattice Hardening (CLH) handles the ledger.

    Time as a Physical Constant: Unlike Nakamoto consensus, where the fastest chip wins the race, KNOX uses a sequential, time based clock. A miner can evaluate VeloxReaper in nanoseconds on a custom ASIC, but they must still wait for the physics enforced time clock to tick before a block can be forged.

    The Anti Race: CLH ensures that block production is a function of sequential time, not parallel hash-power. High-end hardware doesn't win more blocks, it just finishes its math early and sits idle. I have decoupled security from the energy-waste arms race.

    Progress Free Hardening: The ledger hardens as a function of sequential lattice iterations. The more time passes, the more lattice-hardened the history becomes, making reorgs mathematically impossible without a literal time machine.

 THE SHORT INTEGER SOLUTION (SIS) WITNESS

I replaced the primitive leading zeros check with a native SIS Proof.

Miners solve for a witness v that satisfies the norm bound ∥Apub ⋅v(modq)∥∞ <ϵ.

   Asymmetric Dominance: While the miner must thrash 512MB of RAM to find the witness, a light client or smartphone can verify the block in nanoseconds using a single matrix-vector multiplication.

VeloxReaper reaps the ASICs. CLH tames the clock. The KNOX Protocol is live once agai.
