科普长文：BEM 与 PoD 设计证明挖矿机制Primer: BEM and PoD Proof-of-Design Mining
社区成员 btc1668899 发布科普长文，解释 BEM 是 TapeOut 协议的 PoD（Proof of Design，设计证明）挖矿奖励代币，逻辑与比特币不同：比特币奖励算力，BEM 奖励电路设计质量，加法器、乘法器、S-box 越精简优雅权重越高。文中还梳理了完整流程——购买晶体管（NAND 负责计算，LATCH 负责存储）、在浏览器画布上拖拽连线并免费仿真、确认设计后晶体管 Token 被永久销毁，生成不可更改的 Circuit NFT。Community member btc1668899 published a primer explaining that BEM is the PoD (Proof of Design) mining reward token of the TapeOut protocol, whose logic differs from Bitcoin: Bitcoin rewards hashpower, while BEM rewards the quality of circuit designs — the more concise and elegant an adder, multiplier or S-box, the higher the weight. The post also walks through the full flow: buying transistors (NAND for computation, LATCH for storage), dragging and wiring on a browser canvas with free simulation, and, after the design is confirmed, transistor tokens being permanently burned to generate an immutable Circuit NFT.
