Decentralised consensus, coin ledger, and network layer — the protocol substrate beneath Leap28.
L28 uses a deterministic Proof-of-Authority consensus layer with fork detection and automatic resolution.
Validators are registered via mint_auth and blocks are hash-chained for tamper evidence.
The L28 coin ledger tracks minting, transfers, and burns as an append-only JSONL chain.
Every operation is cryptographically linked to the previous entry. Run python -m leap28.coin.smoke to verify integrity.
Peer-to-peer event propagation with configurable topology. In Phase 2 the network layer is local-only; Phase 4 enables real peer connections.
The L28 protocol layer is published under open_source/l28/ with its own test suite and documentation.
The protocol is separable from the Leap28 business engine by design.
