N'Ko Compute Network
The N'Ko Compute Network frames linguistic competence itself as a verifiable resource. Instead of buying generic compute, the protocol imagines proof-of-linguistic-competence as the work being settled.

Key claims
01
Language competence can be modeled as a scarce resource.
02
Protocol incentives should reward verified linguistic contribution.
03
N'Ko infrastructure can include both models and human competence markets.
Public reading note
Whitepaper drafted; protocol details should be reviewed before broad release.
Standard skeleton
What this paper must keep proving
problem
Low-resource language infrastructure needs a way to value verified human linguistic competence, not only generic compute.
method
Define proof-of-linguistic-competence as the work resource being bought, verified, and settled.
implementation
Whitepaper and testnet contract family; details require protocol/security review before broad publication.
data
Competence proofs, review tasks, and language contribution records. No private contributor data should be exposed.
evaluation
Protocol correctness, incentive alignment, contract safety, and whether tasks improve the language resource graph.
references
DePIN/compute markets, proof-of-work variants, crowdsourced language annotation, Stacks/Bitcoin settlement.
openQuestions
Whether the competence proof can be made robust enough to avoid shallow annotation or Sybil behavior.
Checkpoints and references
Proof chain
Claim checkpoint
central-claim slot
Every central claim must point to a proof anchor or remain labeled as speculative.
Implementation checkpoint
implementation-map slot
Every method should identify the code path, harness, schema, or protocol that embodies it.
Evidence checkpoint
evidence-manifest slot
Every reported result should point to run IDs, packet IDs, data snapshots, commits, or review artifacts.
Reference checkpoint
references slot
Every external claim should resolve to a cited paper, benchmark, standard, or documented prior system.
Release checkpoint
release-gate slot
Every PDF needs a named condition before it can move from draft to citation-ready.
