🚨 URGENT — ALL MINERS & NODES MUST UPGRADE BEFORE BLOCK 15,000 🚨

EXTREMELY URGENT: The V14 fork activates at block 15,000 and enables the Atomic Swap HTLC consensus rules. This is a MANDATORY binary upgrade. If you do not upgrade in time, from height 15,000 your node will REJECT EVERY BLOCK and be split off the network (forked chain).

HOW TO UPGRADE — do this AFTER block 14,800 and BEFORE block 15,000:

cd sost-core
git pull origin main                 # latest main (commit 58e9cc9b or newer)
cmake -S . -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build --target sost-node sost-cli sost-miner -j$(nproc)
# then restart BOTH with the new binaries:
#   stop your old node + miner, then start ./build/sost-node  and  ./build/sost-miner

⚠ ATOMIC SWAP — DO NOT USE ⚠

The SOST Atomic Swap (SOST ↔ ETH/BNB/USDT/USDC/PAXG/XAUT) is in founder-only testing, NOT externally audited and NOT validated for public use. DO NOT USE IT — you can permanently lose your funds. Wait for the founder's official "safe to use" announcement (SOST website, BitcoinTalk, Telegram). SOST ↔ BTC is not active (V15).

Protocol PoPC Commitments

Constitutional Demonstration: The protocol commits its own assets to PoPC as a constitutional demonstration of protocol alignment. Model A: XAUT remains in Protocol wallet, SOST bond locked. Model B: PAXG locked in immutable escrow, SOST reward received immediately.

Gold Funding Vault Accumulation (Year 1)

Vault Accumulation Projection

Projection basis: 25% of genesis reward (7.85100863 SOST/block) at 6 blocks/hour, 24h/day. Gold Funding Vault and PoPC Pool each receive 25% of every block reward. Actual accumulation depends on block times and emission decay.
