🎯 Vision

"Code is law. Privacy is a right. The future is transhuman."

CrypTrans honors the pioneering work of:

• Nick Szabo - Smart contracts
• Hal Finney - Reusable proofs of work
• Wei Dai - b-money decentralized currency

🔬 How It Works

1. Stake Tokens

Users deposit tokens to participate in governance.

pub fn stake_tokens(ctx: Context<StakeTokens>, amount: u64) -> Result<()>

2. Create Proposal (PoW Protected)

Proposers must compute SHA-256 Hashcash to prevent spam.

pub fn create_proposal(
    ctx: Context<CreateProposal>,
    description: String,
    treasury_amount: u64,
    recipient: Pubkey,
    pow_nonce: u64,  // Proof-of-work
) -> Result<()>

3. Anonymous Voting (Quantum-Safe STARK Proofs)

Voters generate RISC Zero STARK proofs verified via Bonsol.

pub fn vote_with_stark(
    ctx: Context<VoteWithStark>,
    vote_choice: bool,     // Vote yes/no
    // STARK proof provided via Bonsol execution account
    // Commitment & nullifier derived from proof
) -> Result<()>

Note: Legacy vote_with_zk (Groth16) was deprecated as quantum-vulnerable.

4. Release Funds (Threshold)

Treasury releases funds when vote threshold is met.

pub fn release_funds(
    ctx: Context<ReleaseFunds>,
    proposal_id: [u8; 32],
) -> Result<()>

5. Demurrage Mechanism (Ethical Decay)

Staked tokens experience time-weighted decay to encourage active participation.

How it works:

• Demurrage is automatically applied during voting (vote_with_stark, vote_insecure, vote_on_tranche_release)
• Users can also manually trigger it via apply_demurrage()
• Formula: decay = amount × rate × time_elapsed / (365 days in seconds × 10000)
• Configurable decay rate set by governance

Example:

// Automatic demurrage during voting
pub fn vote_with_stark(...) -> Result<()> {
    // 1. Calculate time-weighted decay
    let time_elapsed = current_time - stake.last_demurrage;
    let decay = (stake.amount × demurrage_rate × time_elapsed) / year_in_seconds;

    // 2. Apply decay
    stake.amount -= decay;
    stake.last_demurrage = current_time;

    // 3. Continue with voting...
}

Why demurrage?

• Encourages active governance participation
• Prevents token hoarding without engagement
• Ethical alternative to inflationary tokenomics
• Unique to CrypTrans (inspired by Bernard Lietaer's demurrage currencies)

🛡️ Security

Quantum-Safe Cryptography

• RISC Zero STARKs - Hash-based (SHA-256), not elliptic curves ✅ PRODUCTION
• Dilithium signatures - Lattice-based, NIST-approved ⚠️ Structural validation only (full crypto verification pending Bonsol zkVM)
• Future-proof - Designed for post-quantum security

Zero-Knowledge Proofs

• RISC Zero STARK (production) - Quantum-resistant, verified via Bonsol
• Groth16 (deprecated) - Removed due to quantum vulnerability
• Commitment hiding - SHA-256(secret)
• Nullifier uniqueness - SHA-256(proposal_id || secret)

Governance Security

• PoW anti-spam - SHA-256 Hashcash (quantum-safe)
• Double-vote prevention - Nullifier PDA allocation
• Treasury threshold - Configurable approval requirements
• Admin controls - Multi-sig recommended (Squads)

Audits & Bounties

• Planned Audit: Trail of Bits / OtterSec / Neodyme
• Bug Bounty: ImmuneFi ($50K-$100K critical)
• MPC Ceremony: Multi-party trusted setup (5-10 participants)
