How mining works
Mining collects valid pending transactions into a block, performs proof of work at the current difficulty, and appends the block only if validation passes.
Mining Operations
Vorliq block production uses proof of work, fair mining limits, and visible public status. Mining does not create coins outside the normal block reward schedule.
Timing rules
Vorliq tracks a target block time and a minimum block time. A node rejects blocks that arrive too soon, and the API explains how many seconds remain before another block is allowed.
Reward split
The miner receives 95 percent of the current mining reward. The public treasury receives 5 percent, which helps fund treasury proposals and starter faucet claims when funds are available.
Fair mining
The same miner address cannot mine two consecutive blocks. This is a software fairness rule, not a profitability guarantee.
Controlled public node miner
Operators may enable an optional miner service with VORLIQ_PUBLIC_MINER_ENABLED=true and VORLIQ_PUBLIC_MINER_ADDRESS. It is disabled by default and checks the public mining status before attempting a block.
Risk note
VLQ has no guaranteed market value. Mining may consume compute resources and does not guarantee profit, legal treatment, or future utility.
