What is Unauthority?

Unauthority is a 100% immutable, permissionless, and decentralized Layer 1 blockchain designed from the ground up to be quantum-resistant, fair, and permanent.

It uses a block-lattice (DAG) structure with aBFT consensus, ensuring near-instant finality in 2-3 seconds. All cryptographic operations use Dilithium5 (NIST FIPS 204) — a post-quantum signature scheme that will remain secure even against future quantum computers.

The network is Tor-native, with validators operating as hidden services. Smart contracts run on a WASM virtual machine (UVM) with a built-in DEX using constant-product AMM. 100% fair launch — no ICO, no pre-mine, no VC.

Quick Start

Get running in 3 steps:

# 1. Install Tor
sudo apt install -y tor && sudo systemctl enable --now tor   # Linux
brew install tor && brew services start tor                    # macOS
# 2. Build from source
git clone https://github.com/mky-los/unauthority-core.git
cd unauthority-core && ./install.sh --mainnet
# 3. Run
export LOS_WALLET_PASSWORD='your-strong-password'
./target/release/los-node --port 3030 --data-dir /opt/los-node

Key Properties

Requirements

Installation (CLI)

# Clone & build
git clone https://github.com/mky-los/unauthority-core.git
cd unauthority-core
cargo build --release --features mainnet -p los-node
# Run node
export LOS_WALLET_PASSWORD='your-strong-password'
./target/release/los-node --port 3030 --data-dir /opt/los-node

Systemd Service

Run LOS as a background service on Linux:

[Unit]
Description=LOS Node
After=network.target tor.service
[Service]
User=los
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/los-node --port 3030 --data-dir /opt/los-node
Restart=always
RestartSec=5
Environment=LOS_WALLET_PASSWORD=your-password
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

sudo cp los-node.service /etc/systemd/system/
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable --now los-node

How Mining Works

LOS mining uses SHA3-256 proof-of-work that is cryptographically bound to your wallet address and the current epoch (1 hour). This means:

• Mining proofs cannot be stolen — they are bound to your address
• Mining pools are impossible by design
• One reward per address per epoch — running multiple nodes with the same address gives no advantage
• SHA3-256 has minimal GPU/ASIC advantage over CPUs

Mining Algorithm

SHA3-256(
  "LOS_MINE_V1"     "cmt">// Domain separator
  || chain_id       "cmt">// 1 = mainnet
  || address        "cmt">// Your LOS address (address-bound)
  || epoch          "cmt">// Current epoch (hour-bound)
  || nonce          "cmt">// Value being iterated
)

Difficulty System

Difficulty starts at 20 bits and auto-adjusts every epoch, targeting ~10 successful miners per epoch. Range: 16 bits (minimum) to 40 bits (maximum).

Reward Schedule & Halving

Mining reward starts at 100 LOS per epoch and halves every 8,760 epochs (~1 year).

Mining FAQ

UVM Overview

The Unauthority Virtual Machine (UVM) executes WebAssembly smart contracts. Write contracts in any WASM-compatible language (Rust, AssemblyScript, etc.) and deploy them on-chain.

• 16 host functions available
• Gas-metered execution
• Deterministic runtime across all nodes
• Deploy via REST API or CLI

USP-01 Token Standard

USP-01 is the native token standard on Unauthority, similar to ERC-20. It defines a standard interface for fungible tokens on UVM.

DEX AMM

Unauthority includes a built-in constant-product AMM DEX (x·y=k) for trustless, on-chain token swaps. It is MEV-resistant by design.

• Constant-product formula: x · y = k
• MEV-resistant — aBFT ordering prevents front-running
• Liquidity provision and withdrawal via standard API
• Integer math only — fully deterministic

Deploy a Contract

# Deploy a WASM contract
curl -X POST https://los.yourmoonkey.com/api/deploy-contract \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "wasm_path": "/path/to/contract.wasm",
    "deployer": "LOSX...your-address",
    "gas_limit": 1000000
  }'

REST API (50+ endpoints)

Base URL: https://los.yourmoonkey.com/api — No authentication required.

New Endpoints

Recently added endpoints for wallet creation, fee estimation, tokens, DEX, slashing, and more.

gRPC API

In addition to REST, Unauthority also exposes a gRPC API for high-performance integrations. See the full API reference for protobuf definitions and streaming endpoints.
