PoUTproof of useful trafficTraffic that does useful work.
Why burn compute on puzzles when network traffic could do something? PoUT is an experimental Rust network for encrypted, decentralized storage and delivery, where moving real data is the proof.

On-chain checks pulled live from RugCheck and DexScreener every time this page loads. Re-run them yourself.
Build log.
Shipped in public, one milestone at a time. Straight from the dev's posts.
Groth16 verifies the file → encoding → challenge relation
SHA-256/Groth16 circuit at 173,331 R1CS constraints. 24 valid proofs accepted, 1 invalid rejected. 753 Rust tests passed, 4/4 CI jobs green.
Cryptographic challenge proof verified in Rust
Connected to the DAG/CWC research. 738 tests, 4/4 CI. 300 simulated attacker responses pinpointed the missing step: a scarce useful-work proof.
New test strategy after the 3-pillar milestone
Going after the hardest part: the math behind Proof of Useful Work. Deeper verification, tougher attack simulations, real Rust tests.
Precomputation resistance
Making sure the work can't be done ahead of time. That's the next box to tick.
Proof of Useful Holder.
A playful holder certificate. Enter your handle, get a card stamped with a real SHA-256 commitment of it, then post it.
How to get $POUT.
Three steps. Bring SOL.
01 · walletInstall a wallet
Phantom or Solflare on your phone or browser. Write the seed phrase on paper. Share it with nobody.
02 · fundLoad SOL
Buy SOL on any exchange and send it to your wallet address.
03 · swapSwap for $POUT
Open Jupiter or pump.fun, paste the CA above and swap. Then come prove you're useful.
