## About

Soqucoin is a Scrypt-based proof-of-work cryptocurrency that removes ECDSA from the transaction authorization path and uses **NIST-standardized ML-DSA-44 (Dilithium)** signatures. It combines two batch-verification techniques—**PAT** (Practical Aggregation Technique) and **LatticeFold+**—to achieve scalable post-quantum security without sacrificing performance.

> **Why does this matter?** Quantum computers will eventually break ECDSA. Soqucoin makes all user transaction signatures quantum-resistant without requiring a soft-fork migration from an ECDSA-based design.

## Features

### Post-Quantum Cryptography

| Component | Implementation | Security Level |

|-----------|---------------|----------------|

| **Signatures** | ML-DSA-44 (Dilithium) | NIST Level 2 (128-bit quantum) |

| **Address Hashing** | SHA-256 | 128-bit collision |

| **Batch Verification** | LatticeFold+ / PAT | Constant-size proofs |

| **Proof-of-Work** | Scrypt (N=1024, r=1, p=1) | Grover-resistant |

### Confidential Transactions (Lattice-BP++)

| Component | Implementation | Security Level |

|-----------|---------------|----------------|

| **Commitments** | Lattice (Module-LWE, n=256, q=8380417) | NIST Level 2 (quantum-safe) |

| **Range Proofs** | Lattice-BP++ | NIST Level 2 (quantum-safe) |

| **Ring Signatures** | Module-LWE ring sigs (up to size 11) | NIST Level 2 (quantum-safe) |

| **Proof Size** | 12,321 bytes | — |

| **Verify Time** | 0.022 ms | Apple M-series arm64 |

> **Note:** Lattice-BP++ uses the same Module-LWE/SIS hardness assumptions as NIST's ML-DSA (Dilithium) standard, providing full quantum resistance. Activated via `OP_LATTICEBP_RANGEPROOF` (witness v4) soft fork. Patent pending.

### ASIC Compatibility

Validated on **Antminer L7** (9.5 GH/s):

- Standard Stratum V1 protocol

- Zero firmware modifications

- Zero rejected shares (cleaner than Litecoinpool/Powerpool)

- 640+ blocks continuous operation, zero crashes

### PAT (Practical Aggregation Technique)

**Status**: ✅ Fully Implemented (v1.0) — November 2025

Soqucoin implements PAT for logarithmic batching of Dilithium signatures through Merkle tree commitments. This provides massive space savings for batch transaction validation.

#### Implementation Details

| Component | Status | File |

|-----------|--------|------|

| Proof Generation | ✅ Complete | `src/crypto/pat/logarithmic.cpp` |

| Proof Verification | ✅ Complete | `CreateLogarithmicProof()` |

| Simple Mode Verification | ✅ Production | `VerifyLogarithmicProof()` |

| Full Mode Verification | ✅ Infrastructure Ready | Full witness validation |

| Consensus Opcode | ✅ Active | `OP_CHECKPATAGG` (0xfd) |

| Unit Tests | ✅ 17/17 Passing | `test/pat_tests.cpp` |

| Integration Tests | ✅ Complete | `test/pat_script_tests.cpp` |

#### Verification Guarantees

- ✅ **Merkle Root Binding**: Prevents proof forgery and signature omission

- ✅ **Hash Aggregation (SHA3-256)**: Prevents rogue-key substitution attacks  

- ✅ **Message Commitment**: Prevents message tampering or reordering

- ✅ **Non-Malleability**: Canonical ordering ensures unique proofs

#### Performance Metrics

| Metric | Value | Notes |

|--------|-------|-------|

| Proof Size | 100 bytes | Constant, regardless of batch size |

| Verification (Simple) | < 4 µs | O(1) constant time |

| Verification (Full) | ~800 µs @ n=1024 | O(log n) tree traversal |

| Space Savings | 25,600× @ n=1024 | vs individual Dilithium signatures |

| Activation | Block 0 | Active since genesis |

#### Consensus Mode

```

Stack:     

          OP_CHECKPATAGG

Use Case: Transaction validation, block verification

Trust Model: Full cryptographic verification with witness data

```

### Build from Source

```bash

git clone https://github.com/soqucoin/soqucoin.git

cd soqucoin

### ⛏️ Solo Mining

The **SOQ Solo Miner** is a lightweight stratum proxy included in `contrib/solo-miner/`. Mine blocks directly to your wallet, zero pool fees.

```bash

# 1. Configure with your node RPC and wallet address

cd contrib/solo-miner

cp config.example.json config.json && nano config.json

# 2. Run it

./soq-solo-miner config.json

# 3. Point your ASIC/GPU at stratum+tcp://localhost:3333

```
