What Is iuna?
iuna combines proof-of-burn finalization, a VDF clock, and proof-of-work issuance. Burns turn capital into temporary timing power that must be paid for again, rather than a permanent stake position.
Proof Of Burn
Nodes burn IUNA to enter the block lottery. The top-ranked burner finalizes first; lower ranks can take over with extra VDF delay if the first one disappears.
Verifiable Delay
The selected finalizer must run sequential VDF work before publishing a block. That delay is the chain's clock and gives fallback finalizers a clean way to take over.
Proof Of Work Issuance
PoW mine actions introduce new IUNA. Each action issues 2 IUNA: 1 IUNA goes to the miner and 1 IUNA is paid as a fixed fee to the block finalizer.
