What is Factor?
Overview
Factor is a decentralized platform that repurposes cryptographic mining into useful problem-solving for mathematics and cryptography. Rather than performing arbitrary hashing, the network's computational work focuses on factorizing large composite numbers that underpin modern encryption. The ecosystem serves researchers seeking to outsource factorizations, miners competing for rewards, developers building tools, and institutions advancing applied mathematics and cybersecurity.
How it works
Factor operates as a Proof of Work blockchain where mining involves solving meaningful mathematical challenges. The network is structured around three components: the Factory (mining layer for submitting computational proofs), Gateway (interface for research institutions and enterprises), and KeyBoard (bounty marketplace where users post challenges and manage verifiable results). This architecture enables researchers and miners to participate in an open marketplace where solved factorizations contribute simultaneously to network consensus and scientific advancement.
Token and supply
FACT is the native asset of the Factor blockchain. The total supply is approximately 1.2 million FACT. Token mechanics are tied to mining rewards and bounty payments within the on-chain marketplace system.
