MAINNET IS LIVE // BLAKE2b PoW

A COIN WITH
A DEADLINE.

QDAY has one purpose: stay alive until the day its own classical cryptography dies. Then the protocol does something very fucking stupid.

PQ DAY IS INEVITABLE.
YOU'RE CELEBRATING IT WITH ME.

THE WHOLE RITUAL

MATH PULLS
THE TRIGGER.

No headline feed. No committee. No developer switch. The chain waits for a valid solution to one fixed Edwards25519 challenge.

01 / BEFORE

MINE THE CALM

Miners search BLAKE2b blocks. Wallets move coins. Every spend carries a classical Ed25519 signature and its hash-based SLH-DSA reserve signature.

8 QDAY + FEES / BLOCK
02 / THE PROOF

BREAK THE CANARY

Recover the challenge scalar, submit it from the wallet and pay 1 QDAY. The proof enters the ordinary mempool. Miners put the end on-chain.

03 / AFTER

OWNERSHIP GETS A PULSE

Six blocks later balances display ×1,000,000. Every output gets a shield, then decays unless its owner comes back and defends it.

THE AFTERPARTY

THE NUMBER GOES
COMPLETELY FERAL.

At QDAY, one displayed coin changes from 1024 atomic units to 1018. The chain creates nothing. The same balances simply read one million times larger.

YOUR COINS. YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

AFTER QDAY,
STAY AWAKE.

Ownership becomes a recurring action. Leave forever and the chain stops pretending your abandoned outputs are alive.

DAY 0

SHIELD

A new output holds its full spendable value for 1,440 blocks, roughly 24 hours.

DAY 1

DECAY

Spendable value falls in 60-block steps across the next 10,080 blocks.

DAY 8

DEATH

An output nobody renews reaches zero. The lost value never returns.

WHILE YOU STILL CAN

DEFEND

Run DEFEND in the unlocked wallet. It renews your outputs and performs the transaction-bound BLAKE2b work.
