[ HOOK / 02 ]
Proof of stake protects tokens.
Proof of work protects truth.

Every system that matters — healthcare records, supply chains, authentication, government registries, financial flows — eventually needs to prove it's telling the truth. Today it proves that to auditors, regulators, and intermediaries. Tomorrow it proves it on-chain.

The Root Layer
For Payments.
L1 · PoW RL.FOUNDATION

Root Layer Foundation is a PoW public blockchain that provides enterprise-grade settlement and verification infrastructure for institutions, machines, and regulated workflows.

We keep the PoW-secured root — and make it usable for enterprise by adding customizable workchains for privacy, compliance, and throughput. Bitcoin-grade security. Enterprise-grade configurability.

One root chain.
Unlimited workchains.
Zero trust required.

[ SYS · 04 / CORE INSIGHT ]

The industry got
one thing backwards.

▸ What others did
Traded neutrality
for convenience.
Permissioned chains require trust in an operator. PoS chains can be captured with capital. Both produce weaker guarantees than the incumbents they compete with — banks, registries, notaries. Enterprise can already trust someone. Why pay to trust someone else?
▸ Keep neutrality. Add configurability.
PoW root. Flexible workchains.
PoW-secured public L1 root. Quantum-resistant GPU mining. Enterprise workchains with custom privacy, compliance, token emission, and block time — all settling to one unforgeable root. Bitcoin-grade trust. Enterprise-grade control. No compromise required.
[ SYS · 05 / ARCHITECTURE ]

One root.
Many workchains.

L1 is the settlement root — secured by quantum-resistant GPU PoW. Workchains settle to L1 while running their own configurable parameters: emission, fees, block time, privacy rules.

[ KILLER FEATURE / 06 ]

Every $RL in existence is mined.

No Premine No ICO No VC Allocation No Team Reserve

In 2026, that's almost unheard of — and it's why enterprise and regulators can touch this without a securities conversation.

[ WHY IT MATTERS / 07 ]
Bitcoin secured money.
Ethereum secured smart contracts.
Root Layer Foundation secures everything that needs to settle without trusting anyone.
[ SYS · 08 / AI COMPUTE ]

While your
model rests.

Every machine running AI workloads has idle compute between inference calls. The Root Layer Foundation mining app detects when your AI process is idle and mines $RL in those gaps — automatically, without interrupting your work.

Common
questions.

What is Root Layer Foundation?+
Root Layer Foundation is a PoW public blockchain that provides enterprise-grade settlement and verification infrastructure. A neutral root chain secured by quantum-resistant GPU mining, with customizable workchains for enterprise privacy, compliance, and throughput requirements.
How is this different from permissioned enterprise chains?+
Permissioned chains require trust in an operator — which is weaker than the legal and institutional trust enterprise already has. Root Layer Foundation keeps the public, PoW-secured root (unforgeable, no operator required) and adds configurable workchains on top for enterprise needs. You get the full guarantees of a public chain without giving up privacy or compliance control.
What is a workchain?+
A workchain is a configurable chain that settles to the Root Layer Foundation L1 root. Each workchain can set its own token emission, transaction fees, block time, and privacy/compliance rules — while inheriting the security of the PoW L1 below. Different workchains serve different use cases: healthcare supply chain, authentication, government records, food delivery settlement, etc.
Is there a premine or team allocation?+
No. Zero premine. No ICO. No VC allocation. No team tokens reserved off-chain. 80% of emission goes to miners, 10% to ecosystem fund, 10% to team — all on the public emission curve. Every $RL in existence is mined.
Why GPU mining specifically?+
GPU mining is ASIC-resistant, quantum-resistant, and accessible. Works from consumer RTX cards to data-centre H100s, including cloud providers like VAST AI, RunPod, and Lambda Labs. This keeps the network genuinely decentralised — no industrial hardware bottleneck, no ASIC centralisation, global participation from day one.
What's the timeline?+
Mining opens in batches before mainnet — waitlist position determines batch order. Earlier position means earlier access, and more $RL mined before difficulty adjusts upward. Partnership announcements roll out ahead of launch.
Is $RL a security?+
$RL is structured to avoid securities characterisation. There is no pre-sale, no investor allocation, no promise of return. Every $RL is mined through PoW work — it is earned, not distributed. This is the same legal posture as Bitcoin. We are not legal advisors; this is not legal advice.
