Independent-miner ramp from 1,158 to 1,440 blocks per day, sustained.
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.
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.
Phase 2 begins from the network state recorded at the close of Phase 1.
| Metric | Value at Phase 2 start |
|---|---|
| Days live | 67 |
| Stage D average | 1,158 blocks/day (80.4% of target) |
| Foundation share of production | 0% |
| Independent miner share | 100% |
| Validators online | 13+ · 3/4 quorum holding |
| Consecutive stable days | 23 |
These numbers are the floor for Phase 2 — every Phase 2 milestone is measured as growth above this baseline.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Phase 2 grows the network through three reinforcing mechanisms — none of which require foundation block production.
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.
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.
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.
Phase 2 ramp is structured as four public milestones, each measured on a 14-day rolling average.
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.
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.
Foundation mining may be temporarily reactivated only if all of the following continuity conditions are simultaneously met:
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.
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.
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.
Phase 2 is closed when all of the following are satisfied, verifiable on chain.
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.
