Riddlen

Solution: Riddlen’s Proof-of-Solve Protocol

2.1 Core Innovation Framework

Proof-of-Solve Consensus

• First blockchain protocol validating human intelligence through cryptographic puzzles
• Progressive difficulty scaling ensuring accessibility while rewarding expertise
• Community-driven content creation with peer validation systems

Dual-Token Architecture

RDLN (Economic Layer)
├── Deflationary store of value
├── Prize pools and transaction fees
├── Governance and ecosystem funding
└── Burns create permanent scarcity

RON (Reputation Layer)
├── Non-transferable intelligence validation
├── Earned through proven problem-solving
├── Gates access to oracle validation tiers
└── Cannot be purchased, only earned

Self-Sustaining Content Engine

• Users submit questions with progressive RDLN stakes
• Multi-validator peer review networks ensure quality
• Algorithmic assembly creates balanced riddle experiences
• Creator royalties incentivize ongoing contribution

2.2 Riddle NFT Mechanics

Each riddle exists as a unique NFT with three randomized parameters:

• Max Mint Rate: 10-1,000 copies available per riddle
• Prize Pool: 100,000-10,000,000 RDLN per riddle (averaging 700,000)
• Winner Slots: 1-100 potential winners per riddle

Example Configurations

Accessible Riddle:

• 500 NFT copies available
• 2,000,000 RDLN prize pool
• 50 winner slots
• 40,000 RDLN per winner

Elite Challenge:

• 25 NFT copies available
• 5,000,000 RDLN prize pool
• 5 winner slots
• 1,000,000 RDLN per winner

Legendary Mystery:

• 10 NFT copies available
• 10,000,000 RDLN prize pool
• 1 winner slot
• 10,000,000 RDLN winner-takes-all

2.3 Progressive Economics Design

NFT Minting Costs (Biennial Halving)

Years 1-2:  1,000 RDLN per riddle attempt
Years 3-4:    500 RDLN per riddle attempt
Years 5-6:    250 RDLN per riddle attempt
Years 7-8:    125 RDLN per riddle attempt
Years 9-10:    62 RDLN per riddle attempt
Years 11-12:   31 RDLN per riddle attempt
Years 13-14:   15 RDLN per riddle attempt
Years 15-16:    7 RDLN per riddle attempt
Years 17-18:    3 RDLN per riddle attempt
Years 19-20:  1.5 RDLN per riddle attempt (final minimum)

Attempt Burn Protocol

1st failed attempt: 1 RDLN burned
2nd failed attempt: 2 RDLN burned
3rd failed attempt: 3 RDLN burned
Nth failed attempt: N RDLN burned

Question Submission Costs

1st question per wallet: 1 RDLN
2nd question per wallet: 2 RDLN
Nth question per wallet: N RDLN
