§ 01 — OBJECTIVE
Section One

Executive Objective

Centronium Phase 2 will grow daily block production from the Stage D average of 1,158 blocks per day to the launch-plan target of 1,440 blocks per day, sustained, using independent miners only.

Phase 1 proved the chain could decentralize. Phase 2 proves it can scale on the strength of that decentralization. The foundation does not return to active production at any point during Phase 2 — its role is reserve only.

Phase 1 was the handoff. Phase 2 is what the network does on its own.

The purpose of this plan is to define the ramp path, the public milestones, and the criteria that will close Phase 2 — and with it, the launch arc.

§ 02 — POSITION
Section Two

Starting Position

Phase 2 begins from the network state recorded at the close of Phase 1.

MetricValue at Phase 2 start
Days live67
Stage D average1,158 blocks/day (80.4% of target)
Foundation share of production0%
Independent miner share100%
Validators online13+ · 3/4 quorum holding
Consecutive stable days23

These numbers are the floor for Phase 2 — every Phase 2 milestone is measured as growth above this baseline.

§ 03 — TARGET
Section Three

The 1,440 Target

The launch plan defined the chain's full daily production target as 1,440 blocks — one block per minute, every minute, for twenty-four hours. This is the protocol's nominal production rate when the network is fully saturated with active miners.

Why 1,440

A 60-second target block time produces 1,440 blocks across a 24-hour period. Sustaining this rate on independent capacity alone is the quantitative definition of a healthy, fully-staffed mining ecosystem.

The 282-block gap

Stage D closed at 1,158 blocks/day. The remaining ramp is 282 blocks per day — a 24% increase in independent capacity. Phase 2 closes this gap progressively, not in a single step.

Floor Discipline

At no point during Phase 2 should production fall below the Stage D floor of 1,100 blocks/day. Sustained dips trigger the reserve protocol defined in §06.

§ 04 — STRATEGY
Section Four

Ramp Strategy

Phase 2 grows the network through three reinforcing mechanisms — none of which require foundation block production.

Miner acquisition

Onboarding through CentroShield is the primary growth lever. The plan targets a steady increase in active independent miners, with simplified pool entry, public mining-yield dashboards, and integrations with new inference providers as they qualify under the PoUW API spec.

Capacity per miner

Existing miners increase their throughput by adding API keys, joining additional pools, and qualifying for higher tier rewards. Phase 2 will publish a capacity-tier framework that rewards miners who sustain consistent block contribution.

Ecosystem demand

CENTRO utility — across CentroSky, ASHAViBE, CentroDrop, QRBull, and the rest of the application layer — drives token demand, which strengthens miner economics, which expands mining capacity. Phase 2 leans on this feedback loop rather than on direct production support.

§ 05 — MILESTONES
Section Five

Milestones

Phase 2 ramp is structured as four public milestones, each measured on a 14-day rolling average.

Milestone P2-A
1,225blocks/day
85% of target. Demonstrates positive growth above the Stage D average.
Milestone P2-B
1,300blocks/day
90% of target. Confirms organic miner growth without foundation support.
Milestone P2-C
1,380blocks/day
96% of target. Final approach. Triggers Phase 2 completion review.
Milestone P2-D
1,440blocks/day
100% of target, sustained 30 consecutive days. Closes Phase 2.

Each milestone is verified on CentroScan against the public daily breakdown. Milestone confirmations are not retroactive — a 14-day window that fails resets the count.

§ 06 — RESERVE
Section Six

Foundation Role in Phase 2

The foundation does not produce blocks during Phase 2. Its role is standby reserve, governed by the same posture established at the close of Phase 1.

Reserve activation conditions

Foundation mining may be temporarily reactivated only if all of the following continuity conditions are simultaneously met:

  1. Daily block production falls below 1,000 blocks for 3 consecutive days.
  2. Independent miner participation drops below the Stage C floor of active miners.
  3. Validator quorum is at risk of falling below 3/4.

Any reserve activation is a public event — declared on chain, time-bounded in advance, and audited in the Phase 2 results report. Reserve activation does not, by itself, invalidate Phase 2 progress.

Default Posture

Reserve is dormant. The network's expected operating mode for the duration of Phase 2 is 100% independent production. Reserve is a safety net, not a tool.

§ 07 — VERIFICATION
Section Seven

Public Verification

Phase 2 inherits Phase 1's verification model. Every claim in this plan will be audited against on-chain data in the Phase 2 results report, using the same public sources:

No private telemetry, no internal metrics. If a milestone is claimed, it is verifiable by anyone, from public chain data alone.

§ 08 — COMPLETION
Section Eight

Phase 2 Completion Criteria

Phase 2 is closed when all of the following are satisfied, verifiable on chain.

  1. Daily block production sustains 1,440 blocks/day for 30 consecutive days, measured on a 14-day rolling average.
  2. Foundation block production remains zero throughout the 30-day sustain period.
  3. Validator quorum holds 3/4 without interruption across the same period.
  4. No reserve activation event occurs within the 30-day sustain period.
  5. Independent miner count meets or exceeds the Phase 2 active-miner floor (defined at milestone P2-A).
  6. All four milestones P2-A through P2-D have been confirmed in sequence.
  7. The full Phase 2 dataset is published on CentroScan and the documentation hub.

On satisfaction of these criteria, the foundation will issue a Phase 2 Completion Declaration following the format of Document III, and the launch arc will close as set out in Document V.
