## Career

#### Zorp

Logan Allen founded Zorp, a company focused on the development of minimalistic and verifiable computing systems. Zorp aims to establish a new paradigm for personal computing, grounded in simplicity and user sovereignty, often compared to the philosophy behind Apple's ecosystem of integrated products. Zorp develops systems based on Nock, a minimal instruction set used to enhance computing capabilities through a transparent and efficient framework.  [\[1\]](#cite-id-Zg4eyeSR4B9hpVQi) 

#### Nockchain

Nockchain is another major venture by Logan Allen, aiming to revolutionize blockchain technology through its unique Proof of Useful Work consensus mechanism. Unlike traditional blockchain models, Nockchain employs Zero-Knowledge Proof of Work (zkPoW), where miners create zero-knowledge proofs of computational work instead of engaging in arbitrary computations. This approach not only secures the network but also ensures that mining efforts directly contribute to valuable computational tasks.

### Media Appearances

Logan Allen has participated in industry interviews and discussions concerning blockchain infrastructure, decentralized systems, and zero-knowledge cryptography. In a May 2025 interview with *Delphi Digital*, he discussed Nockchain. During the conversation, Allen outlined the network's technical design and described a global mining competition launched to encourage participation and evaluate the protocol's proof-generation framework. The discussion focused on the potential applications of zero-knowledge technology within blockchain security and consensus systems.
