A lightweight SHA-256 Proof-of-Work blockchain with predictable issuance and modern Bech32 addressing, designed for clean community-driven adoption.
XeroCoin is a decentralized, open-source cryptocurrency designed for secure, fast, and transparent digital transactions. The project emphasizes sustainability, decentralization, and ease of integration into real-world applications.
Design goals: predictable tokenomics, stable network cadence, and a clean, minimal protocol surface that stays easy to run and easy to integrate.
XeroCoin is built on a Proof-of-Work consensus mechanism leveraging the SHA-256 hashing algorithm. Blocks are produced every 10 minutes, with difficulty adjusted every 120 minutes to maintain network stability.
The emission model includes an initial block reward of 10 XRO, halved every 5,000 blocks, providing a transparent and easy-to-communicate schedule.
The XeroCoin network operates through decentralized peer-to-peer communication. Nodes interact through the designated P2P port 25170, while JSON-RPC communication for wallets, miners, and infrastructure occurs through RPC port 25169.
The blockchain uses Bech32 (xro...) addresses for improved safety and UX.
Mining utilizes the SHA-256 algorithm, ensuring compatibility with widely available hardware. Coinbase transactions mature after 20 blocks to reduce risks related to short reorgs.
A minimum of 6 confirmations is recommended for secure transaction finality.
XeroCoin features a fixed total supply of 100,000 XRO. Block rewards begin at 10 XRO and follow a halving schedule every 5,000 blocks. This controlled emission model supports long-term scarcity and predictable distribution.
XeroCoin combines proven cryptographic standards with a lightweight blockchain design and a transparent emission model. Its technical foundation positions it as a secure and efficient digital currency for community-driven innovation and future expansion.
