KOREK Network — Planck Testnet

KOREK is an experimental blockchain research project connecting blockchain security with verifiable distributed AI computation. Planck v0.6 is a runnable testnet prototype, not production cryptocurrency software.

Run and mine

git clone https://github.com/Korek-Network/blockchain.git
cd blockchain
npm test
chmod +x scripts/setup-miner.sh
./scripts/setup-miner.sh

The guided setup works on macOS, Linux, and WSL2. See Mining and running a node for manual commands, wormhole reward accounts, remote API mining, and troubleshooting.

Planck v0.6 features

• Separate deterministic transparent and wormhole accounts derived from one KOREK 24-word recovery phrase
• Mining rewards credited only to spendable wormhole addresses
• Built-in node miner and separate API-connected miner
• Standalone Windows, Linux, Apple Silicon Mac, and Intel Mac node/miner packages
• Persistent node_key.p2p identity generation and version-matched miner protocol on port 9833
• Checksummed atomic chain snapshots with verified restart recovery
• Signed node identity handshake, peer discovery, health tracking and longer-chain synchronization
• Versioned miner protocol with HMAC-SHA256 request authentication, replay protection, and optional TLS
• Fixed maximum issuance of 365,000,000 KRK
• Signed transfers with millisecond local-testnet finality, gas and explorer details
• Useful-work job registry connected to mining metadata
• Faucet, block explorer, and REST API on port 8365
• Windows, Linux, and macOS desktop wallet at Korek-Network/wallet

Network parameters

Parameter	Planck testnet value
Network ID	korek-planck-testnet-1
Symbol	KRK
Decimals	8
Maximum supply	365,000,000 KRK
Mining allocation	292,000,000 KRK (80%)
AI ecosystem allocation	36,500,000 KRK (10%)
Development allocation	18,250,000 KRK (5%)
Security/community allocation	18,250,000 KRK (5%)
Initial reward	1.15740740 KRK
Reward interval	1 second target
Reward halving	Every 126,144,000 reward blocks (~4 years)
API/mining port	8365

Faucet balances are test-only and excluded from fixed-supply issuance counters. Rapid transaction-finality blocks do not mint a reward or move the halving counter.

Important limitations

Planck v0.6 provides signed testnet peer discovery and synchronization plus TLS/HMAC protection for remote miners, but not production consensus, hostile-fork resistance, a production database, GPU compute proofs, mutual TLS/ALPN, public telemetry, or public bootstrap nodes. Snapshot synchronization currently assumes honest compatible peers. CPU proof-of-work and AI-job verification are prototypes. The proposed 100 million TPS figure remains a research target, not current measured capability.

See the local P2P guide to run two synchronized nodes.

See the secure miner guide before connecting a miner from another machine.

Ed25519 is used only as a portable testnet bootstrap. Post-quantum work targets standardized ML-DSA with a hybrid migration period. The code has not been audited. Do not use it for real funds, investment, exchange listing, or production AI workloads.
