Chain Overview

TribeWarez runs two testnets and a custom consensus layer:

• Solana Testnet -- Local solana-test-validator with full RPC, airdrop faucet, and gossip/TPU for external validators.
• EVM Testnet -- Geth PoW testnet (chain ID 5555) with a pre-funded genesis account.
• PoT-O Validator (v4.1) -- Off-chain Proof of Tensor Optimizations engine with Hexchain spatial consensus that submits proofs to a Solana on-chain program.

All three services run in the tw-web3-infra-stack Docker Compose profile and are accessible through the nginx-proxy reverse proxy with automatic SSL.

Hexchain Consensus (v4.1)

PoT-O v4.1 introduces Hexchain, a leaderless, P2P consensus layer that organizes blocks into a hexagonal lattice using Hex Coordinate Projection (HCP):

• Spatial Ordering – blocks are positioned deterministically in a 3D hex lattice
• Peer-to-Peer – no central validator; all nodes derive the same lattice from proofs
• Efficient Sync – new nodes join and incrementally sync their region of the lattice
• Fork Resolution – coordinate + depth uniquely identifies blocks; conflicts resolve by proof depth

See Hexchain Integration for full details.
