Gas-Fee-Ranked Issuance Mechanism

At its core, Proof of Gas is an on-chain algorithm that allocates new tokens in proportion to gas fees spent by participants in a defined time window or block range.

A PoG smart contract (deployed on an Ethereum-compatible chain) tracks the gas paid by each participating address during the issuance period.

Participants join simply by sending transactions to a designated PoG contract function – these transactions can be no-ops or dummy calls that deliberately consume gas.

The key requirement is that they burn gas;

every unit of gas (measured in Gwei) spent acts as a “ticket” or weight towards the final token distribution.

The PoG contract continuously or periodically tallies gas contributions. For example, if Alice and Bob participate and Alice spent 30% of the total gas consumed in the PoG event while Bob spent 5%, Alice would receive 30% of the distributed tokens and Bob 5%.

This creates a competitive gas auction for token shares: the only way to guarantee a higher allocation is to out-spend others on gas.

Crucially, the rules are transparent and enforced by code – no human can override the outcome, underscoring the trustless nature of PoG issuance.
