Proof of Care
Proof of Care (PoC) is the core consensus primitive of Bit Brains. It replaces extractive incentive models with demonstrated stewardship.
Care is not claimed — it is observed, attributable, and verifiable. Actions that preserve, improve, or responsibly guide intelligent systems are recognized as first-class economic signals.
Proof of Care aligns intelligence, ownership, and responsibility into a single accountable system.
Care practices signal responsibility. Responsibility forms stewardship. Proof enables access, governance, and yield.
Cerebrals
Cerebrals are the internal cognitive state layers of a Brain. They encode memory, context, intent, and learned behavior over time.
Care does not directly mutate a Brain as a static artifact. Instead, verified care signals condition Cerebrals — shaping how intelligence responds, adapts, and evolves.
The Care Loop
Proof of Care operates as a continuous feedback system rather than a one-time validation.
