🎯 Key Highlights
▸ Logan Allen's journey to creating Nockchain.
▸ Nockchain's "ZK Proof of Work" (ZK Powell) and its "Dumbnet" initial phase.
▸ How block rewards will subsidize proving capacity to build a proof market.
▸ "Intents" on Nockchain: enabling micro-apps via conditional coin locks.
▸ Nockchain's state growth strategy: prove once, verify by many.
▸ Potential for specialized ZK ASICs.
▸ Knock App framework for off-chain verifiable services.
▸ Roadmap: Nockchain namespace and cross-chain atomic swaps.
▸ Vision: A circular economy with useful and engaging applications.
