AIONET Research — Executive Summary

AIONET anchors consensus in hardware behavior. PoM validates blocks via high-speed HBM-DRAM operations; PoD scores validator health from entropy/drift. Finality follows T_final ≈ max(T_compute + δ_PoD, T_network), enabling sub-2s target finality with ultra-low fees.

• Effective throughput: Θ = B·N·P·η·V; compute time shrinks as HBM bandwidth grows.
• Network term: R·RTT + Δ; optimize rounds and routing for low latency.
• Security: PoM (performance-bound) + PoD (entropy fingerprint) resist spoofing/cloning.
