New York Patent of the Month – February 2025
Inveniam has reimagined blockchain mining with a method that levels the playing field. At the heart of this invention is a novel proof-of-work algorithm designed to favor everyday CPUs over specialized hardware. Instead of relying on brute computational force, the system introduces intentional cache misses as the primary bottleneck—making it inherently inefficient for ASICs and GPUs to optimize away the challenge. This clever use of processor cache behavior means that even standard hardware can compete, returning blockchain mining to its democratic roots.
The method works by first hashing incoming blockchain transaction data, then using that hash to drive a randomized table lookup process. This database table is intentionally sized beyond cache limits, ensuring memory access patterns remain unpredictable. With each cycle of lookup and bit manipulation, the algorithm generates a proof-of-work result that must meet a predetermined target. The process is repeatable, measurable, and verifiable—but crucially, it can’t be shortcut with specialized hardware.
What makes Inveniam’s approach truly disruptive is the modularity it enables. Hashing, difficulty scaling, and the proof-of-work engine are decoupled, meaning miners can adapt to different blockchains without hardware changes. This flexibility, combined with a lower barrier to entry, invites broader participation and energy-conscious computation.
Inveniam’s innovation doesn’t just optimize performance—it redefines fairness, accessibility, and security in blockchain mining.

What is the R&D Tax Credit?
The Research & Experimentation Tax Credit (or R&D Tax Credit), is a general business tax credit under Internal Revenue Code section 41 for companies that incur research and development (R&D) costs in the United States. The credits are a tax incentive for performing qualified research in the United States, resulting in a credit to a tax return. For the first three years of R&D claims, 6% of the total qualified research expenses (QRE) form the gross credit. In the 4th year of claims and beyond, a base amount is calculated, and an adjusted expense line is multiplied times 14%. Click here to learn more.
