Parallax

Parallax combines a fixed monetary supply and Proof of Work settlement with full smart contract programmability. Every coin must be mined. Every rule is executed without discretion. No premine, no foundation, no privileged accounts.

The Death of Socrates captures a refusal to trade truth for convenience. Socrates accepts his fate not out of obedience, but because abandoning principle would invalidate reason itself.

Parallax follows the same logic. A monetary system has legitimacy only if its rules cannot be bent by power or popularity. Instead of trust, committees, or narrative consensus, Parallax anchors value in irreversible physical cost.

Where Socrates trusted reason over rulers, Parallax trusts physics over institutions.
