Abstract
The disclosure provides systems and methods for an improved Proof of Work (PoW) technique that enforces the creation of cryptographic tokens while solving the PoW puzzle. The systems and methods disclosed herein more efficiently utilize the high computational and energy consumption in attempts to solve PoW puzzles, by combining the computations necessary for several types of cryptographic functions (e.g., public-key cryptographic methods). For example, systems and methods disclosed herein may reuse pre-computed commitments, while still preserving the traditional and accepted PoW protocols.
