Claim 18:
19. The method of claim 10, further comprising:
receiving, from the distributed network, a second block comprising a second proof-of-space based on the current slot challenge and a second challenge chain signage point in the current series of challenge chain signage points, the proof-of-space characterized by a second quality;
calculating a second quality-based number of iterations based on the second quality;
executing the reward chain verifiable delay function for a second number of infusion iterations based on the second quality-based number of iterations; and
in response to executing the reward chain verifiable delay function for the second number of infusion iterations:
appending a second reward chain infusion point to the second block, the second reward chain infusion point based on an output of the reward chain verifiable delay function at the second number of infusion iterations; and
infusing the second block into the reward chain verifiable delay function to extend the blockchain.
