Interchained — Fast, Fair, and Built for the Future

Interchained takes Bitcoin’s proven foundation and makes it faster, fairer, and more sustainable. A capped main supply, rewards for miners and node operators, and a built-in governance pool keep the network secure and community-owned for the long run.

Our goal is simple: empower decentralization, secure the future, and keep block production steady with sub-minute targets.

• Proof-of-Work with Yespower for broad, CPU-level participation.
• DGW-Nova difficulty for smooth, per-block retargeting.
• Emission sharding to align incentives across miners, node operators, and governance.
• Native token subsystem integrated directly into the protocol.

Proof-of-Work, Reinvented

Yespower reduces ASIC advantage, opening mining to everyday computers. More miners, more decentralization.

Adaptive Difficulty

Dark Gravity Wave Nova (DGW-Nova) retargets every block and includes graceful decay, rolling medians, and asymmetric clamps for stability under fast block targets.

Emission Sharding

Block rewards are split between miners, node operators, and a governed ecosystem pool to fund upgrades, growth, and partnerships.

Native Token Subsystem

Fungible and non-fungible tokens validated alongside normal transactions, secured by the same consensus, and compatible with a Bitcoin-style UTXO model.

Monetary Supply & Emission

• Main Supply: 1,100,000 ITC (fixed main emission).
• Tail Emission: 0.10301990 ITC per block (≈ ~6/day at ~1-minute blocks), continuing after main emission to keep security incentives healthy over time.
• Block Target: under ~1 minute.
• Difficulty: DGW-Nova per-block retargeting tuned for fast, stable intervals.

The tail is intentionally small to avoid a hard “security cliff” once main emission completes.

Emission Sharding (Reward Split)

• Miners — Majority share for Proof-of-Work security (Yespower).
• Node Operators — Fixed share for full nodes with high uptime (relay capacity & decentralization).
• Governance Pool — Community-controlled funds for development, tooling, docs, integrations, and growth.

Percentages are protocol-defined, visible on-chain, and adjustable via governance per upgrade rules.

Fees & Token Operations

• Transaction Fees: Paid by users; mechanics are transparent on-chain.
• ITSL: Native, UTXO-compatible token subsystem; operations are signed, validated, and propagated at the protocol layer.
• Optional Governance Fee: Wallets may attach a fee to token operations to support ecosystem funding without affecting base-layer security.

Governance & Treasury

• On-Chain Proposals & Voting: Community can propose client work, audits, integrations, etc.
• Treasury Disbursement: Governance pool funds approved proposals directly on-chain with auditable milestones.

The Interchained Token Subsystem Layer (ITSL) enables issuing, transferring, and managing tokens directly on-chain. Operations are signed, propagated peer-to-peer, and recorded in blocks, providing first-class support for digital assets.

• Deterministic signing & verification per operation.
• Replay-safe processing with operation hashes.
• Optional governance fees on token ops.

Use Cases

• Stablecoins & wrapped assets
• In-game items & loyalty points
• Governance tokens with on-chain voting
• Tokenized physical goods with provenance

Miners secure the chain via Proof-of-Work and receive the largest share of rewards. Node operators also earn a dedicated share for running full nodes with high uptime — strengthening decentralization and relay capacity.

• Per-block difficulty retargeting for steady block times.
• On-chain supply rules and auditable reward splits.
• Governance pool funds upgrades and ecosystem growth.
