Twelve words ground in a chain — one through twelve, each from the last. Proof-of-work text search: each candidate hashes the base “zero” with an incrementing counter appended; the grind climbs successively longer prefix matches until the SHA-256 hash spells its target word. Every hash shown was actually found, across 72,266,212,160,619 attempts. Number 1 of the 12 Grinding tokens.
