Description
PoUC Network is an independent Polkadot SDK/FRAME testnet/RC experiment for useful work. Signed attestations for AI evaluation, safety red-teaming, privacy-preserving data work, and human review become portable credentials and reputation. v1.0 ships a runtime, TypeScript SDK/API, Evaluation and AI Safety DApps, Portal, off-chain evidence commitments, and an Android Edge Node. No PoUC token, staking, bond, rewards, or monetary slashing. Not an official Polkadot project or production parachain.

Could you build this?
No PoUC Network requires developing a custom Substrate/Polkadot SDK FRAME runtime, decentralized consensus mechanisms for proof-of-useful-work, and cryptographic attestation protocols.
What it would actually take: A real version requires building a custom Substrate runtime in Rust with specialized pallets for evaluation jobs, cryptographic proofs, and reputation scoring. It involves node infrastructure, validator coordination, and secure enclave or zero-knowledge verifiers to validate AI evals and red-teaming tasks without central trust. This demands deep Rust systems programming, Substrate/Polkadot SDK internals, and applied cryptography expertise.
