Real-time trust scoring, not periodic snapshots.
Here's how VoidChain's PoT consensus actually works:
Instead of computing trust rankings once per epoch, AI nodes continuously monitor:
→ Node device fingerprints (hardware identity)
→ Computing power contribution (actual work)
→ Transaction verification accuracy (quality of validation)
The trust weight updates in real-time. If a node's behavior goes sideways—anomalies detected, accuracy drops, fingerprint inconsistencies—its score tanks immediately. It loses consensus permissions on the spot.
This is the difference between "you're trusted until we audit next month" and "we're watching now."
Why it matters:
• Malicious nodes can't accumulate voting power undetected
• Sybil attacks (fake multiple nodes) get caught faster—behavior patterns reveal duplication
• Honest nodes stay profitable because bad actors don't dilute rewards
Result: consensus stays genuine. Not mathematical theater.
