Understand Tenrai

How Tenrai is built. Miners produce work blocks in parallel, a validator committee certifies cuts, and every cut is final. The TRAIDAG pipeline in one page.

How a validator committee certifies cuts, what makes a cut final, how the committee is chosen each epoch and what finality relies on.

What a work block contains, how it is anchored, registered and executed by cuts, how difficulty follows the hashrate, and when its reward is paid.

How Tenrai stores value in unspent outputs, what a transaction contains, how inputs are authorized, how mass sets the fee, and what a payload is.

The supply of TRAI, the emission curve, how rewards and fees are split between miners and stakers, and when each side is paid.

How Tenrai changes its consensus rules at a fixed height without a new genesis, what operators and validators do before an upgrade, and what a node that missed one does.

TenQ, the memory-hard, GPU-oriented proof-of-work function of Tenrai. Its dataset, epochs, full and light mode and network profiles.

How validators, delegations and stake positions work on Tenrai. The lifecycle of a position, epochs and snapshots, rewards, unbonding and slashing.

The cryptographic building blocks of Tenrai. ML-DSA-65 signatures, SHA-384 identifiers, SHAKE256 locks, post-quantum TLS, and how they are kept apart.

How a Tenrai wallet turns 24 words into ML-DSA-65 keys, how a key becomes a spend lock and an address, and what fingerprints and verification words are.

How Tenrai nodes find, authenticate and limit each other, how blocks, transactions and cuts travel, and how a node catches up.

What Tenrai guarantees, under which assumptions, and what wallets, miners, validators and services have to trust.

Every consensus limit of Tenrai in one place. Transactions, work blocks, cuts, staking, sizes of keys and signatures, and the mass formula.

The parameters of each Tenrai network. Block rate, cut interval, epochs, emission, difficulty, address prefixes, default ports and wallet defaults.
