社区长文解析 PoD：官方设 267 道电路挑战Community Post Explains PoD: 267 Circuit Challenges
社区成员 btc1668899 发布长文解析 TapeOut 的 PoD（Proof of Design）机制：奖励的是电路设计效率而非算力，以 8 位加法器为例，门数更少、结构更优雅的设计权重更高，功能相同但更笨拙的设计奖励更低。文中称官方已发布 267 道真实数字逻辑工程挑战，包括 4 位加法器、8x8 乘法器、桶移位器和 S-box，并引用“电路本身就是矿机”的说法。Community member btc1668899 published a post explaining TapeOut's PoD (Proof of Design) mechanism: it rewards circuit design efficiency rather than hashpower. Using an 8-bit adder as an example, designs with fewer gates and more elegant structures receive higher weight, while clumsier designs with the same function receive lower rewards. The post says the official team has released 267 real digital logic engineering challenges, including a 4-bit adder, 8x8 multiplier, barrel shifter and S-box, and quotes the line "the circuit itself is the miner."
