Proof-of-Proof functions by introducing a new form of mining wherein PoP miners compete to publish state data from a security-inheriting blockchain to a highly-secure blockchain (like Bitcoin) in exchange for a reward. The fork resolution protocol of the blockchain will consult these publications in the event that a reorganization is attempted by an attacker. Once a block on a PoP-secured altchain reaches Bitcoin-finality, an attacker would have to reorganize the Bitcoin blockchain in order to double-spend transactions in that altchain block.
