Mining thatteaches.
Neurolith Network is a blockchain where mining means training an open artificial intelligence. Every block makes the AI a little better, and the AI is free for everyone.
Last block
Its hash picks the data to train on next.
Train
The miner improves the model on their graphics card.
Build the block
The improvement plus the highest-fee transactions.
Nodes verify
Any node reruns the test and compares.
Valid block
The miner gets paid and everyone builds on it.
Bitcoin burns energy on math that serves no other purpose. Here, that effort trains an AI for everyone.
The network runs on its own, like Bitcoin. No customers hand out tasks and no company assigns work. The task is always to make the model smarter, and the protocol itself sets it.
Every block carries its own proof.
A block counts only if it improves the model on data the miner couldn't choose, and if any node can check it.
The last block picks the data
Its hash decides which part of the public dataset gets trained next. No one can prepare the work in advance.
The miner trains
They start from the current model and improve it with their hardware. That improvement is called a delta.
They build the block
They bundle their delta with pending transactions, highest fees first.
The hash picks the test
The block itself draws the data used to measure the improvement, so no one can pick an easy test.
Any node verifies it
It applies the improvement, reruns the test, and compares. Measuring costs far less than training.
The first valid block wins
The miner collects the reward and the fees. Everyone else starts on the new block.
Difficulty adjusts automatically every 2,016 blocks to keep one block every 10 minutes. If two blocks arrive at almost the same time, the chain with the most accumulated work wins.
Three roles, just like Bitcoin.
No one has special permissions. Anyone can be a miner, a node, or a user, or all three.
Miner
Trains the model and builds blocks with their improvement and pending transactions.

Three ways to mine. None is required.
The network accepts any valid block, no matter what hardware it comes from. You don't need any NRLT to start.
Your PC with the app
An app you install on your PC, on its regular operating system. Press Start and let it work.
- For
- Trying it at no cost
- Advantage
- One-click install
Boot system
A USB drive with its own operating system built for mining, using your PC's graphics card, RAM, and connection.
- For
- PCs with a good graphics card
- Advantage
- More performance and faster network response, kept apart from your files
Neurolith Box
A complete machine: plug it in, connect it to the internet, and set it up from your phone. Runs 24/7.
- For
- Mining without the hassle
- Advantage
- The easiest and most powerful option
Your share of the work, your share of the reward.
Every day the network issues NRLT to miners. Each miner receives a share based on their mining power compared with the whole network. In a pool, you get paid a little every day.
Mining power is how much work the hardware does.
The combined power of every miner in the world, not just yours. Move the slider to see a small network at launch or a large one later on.
Example for the first decade, with 8,165 NRLT issued to miners per day. This is an estimate based on an example network, not a promise. What each miner earns depends on the real network, and the market sets the price of NRLT.
24 million. Not one more.
NRLT is created only through mining, starting from the genesis block. There's no presale, no token sale, and no initial reserve for anyone.
Half of the 24 million is mined in the first 3.8 years
NRLT issued per period, in millions · below: through which year, and the running total
The reward halves every 200,000 blocks. By around year 30, 99.6% will have been issued. After that, miners earn from fees.
A small share, public and written into the rules.
The founding team receives a percentage of each block that steps down every 10 years. In total it comes to 5.3% of the 24 million, paid out gradually, just like miners.
| Period | Share of each block | Founders | Miners |
|---|---|---|---|
| Years 1–10 | 5.5% | 1,093,620 | 18,790,380 |
| Years 11–20 | 4.5% | 155,790 | 3,306,210 |
| Years 21–30 | 3.5% | 19,228 | 530,147 |
| Year 31 onward | 0% | 0 | 104,625 |
| Total | 1,268,638 · 5.3% | 22,731,362 · 94.7% |
In a hurry? Pay more.
Every transaction pays a small fee in NRLT. Blocks have a maximum size, so the transactions that offer the most per byte of space go in first.
You don't need NRLT to mine. To use it, there are two ways.
Miners collect fees rather than pay them, and they cover their own transfers with what they've earned. If you don't mine, here's how to get NRLT:
Mine
With the free app in a pool, you'll have enough for plenty of fees within a few days.
Community board
Miners post that they have NRLT, and people who need it reach out. Trades happen directly, wallet to wallet.
Common questions.
Do I need to buy NRLT to mine?
No. Install the app, pick a pool, and press Start. Your first NRLT arrives with your first payout, and you use it to pay for your transfers.
Can I mine with a PC that has no graphics card?
Yes, the network accepts it, but it's very slow. With a gaming graphics card, a boot USB, or a Neurolith Box, the work goes much further.
Who controls the network?
No one in particular. The rules live in the code, any node verifies every block, and anyone can propose changes in public. Each operator decides whether to update their node. There's no voting by token holdings.
Can I use the AI for free?
Yes. The trained model is published openly, and anyone can download and use it, whether or not they hold NRLT.
Is there a presale or token sale?
No. NRLT is created only through mining. The only share that doesn't go to miners is the founders' share, which is written into the rules and public.
What will NRLT be worth?
No one knows. Until trading begins, the community publishes a reference price using an open formula. After that, the market sets the price. The project doesn't promote its price or present it as an investment.
Do I need to buy the USB or the box?
No. They're options for mining more conveniently or more efficiently. The software is free and open, and the network doesn't care which hardware a block comes from.
