Abstract

We introduce Proof-of-Steak (PoS) as a fundamental net-zero block generation technique, often accompanied by Non-Frangipane Tokens. Genesis cut is gradually heated and minted (using the appropriate sauce), enabling the miners to redirect the extracted gold and the dissipated heat into the furnace, hence enabling the first fully-circular economy ever built using blockchain technology, utilising tamper-evident steak hach\'e. In this paper we present the basic ingredients for building Proof-of-Steak, assessing its global impact, and opportunities to save the world and beyond!
