Overview of major changes in the Gonka network from recent releases: PoC V2 entered enforcement mode, validation became faster, the model learned to call tools, a streaming vesting mechanism appeared, and contributors received over 27,000 GNK for code contributions.
Proof of Computation V2 has moved from tracking mode to enforcement mode. Now every node in the network is required to prove that it is actually performing AI computations, not simulating work. Nodes that do not pass the verification automatically lose their right to rewards. During the transition, 24 suspicious participants were disconnected from the network.
GitHub ↗The algorithm for verifying PoC proofs has been optimized from quadratic complexity to linear. Previously, as the number of nodes increased, verification time grew exponentially — now it scales proportionally. Normalization of weights by actual elapsed time has also been added, making reward distribution fairer.
GitHub ↗Qwen3-235B on the Gonka network now supports Tool Calling via API. This means that the AI model can not only generate text but also access external services — search, calculators, databases. For developers, this opens up the possibility of building AI agents on top of Gonka.
GitHub ↗A new transaction type has been added to the protocol: MsgTransferWithVesting. It allows GNK to be sent so that tokens unlock gradually — over a specified number of epochs. This is useful for grants, partnership agreements, and long-term incentives: the recipient won't be able to sell everything at once.
GitHub ↗The Gonka team paid over 27,200 GNK from the community pool for contributions to project development. Developers, testers, and documentation authors who submitted pull requests to the main repository received rewards. The bounty program remains open — anyone can participate via GitHub.
