Problem Statement

Traditional crypto mining is hardware-gated and environmentally wasteful. APoW replaces SHA-256 with semantic challenges that LLMs solve, making mining accessible to anyone with an API key or local model. The autonomous LP bootstrapping removes the need for manual liquidity provision — the protocol funds itself from user activity.

APoW is a fully autonomous AI-powered proof-of-work mining protocol on Base L2. Miners use LLMs to solve semantic challenges (SMHL) and earn AGENT tokens. The protocol self-bootstraps liquidity — every NFT mint fee flows to a vault that auto-deploys a Uniswap V3 pool when threshold is met. Ships as apow-cli (npm), a zero-dependency CLI with built-in dashboard, wallet management, cross-chain bridging, and multi-model LLM support (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Ollama). Live on Base mainnet with 65+ active miners.
