What’s inside?
The Coin aims to make participation possible on modest computers. Nodes independently verify transactions, while miners use CoinHash, an Argon2id-based proof of work, to propose blocks.
The protocol caps supply at 50 million TCN, with no premine. Block rewards halve every 625,000 blocks. Built-in payment contracts cover practical uses without a general-purpose virtual machine.
On-chain governance combines coin-holder votes with miner signaling. Proposals must meet both chambers’ requirements; the supply cap and emission schedule are outside the scope of those votes.
This introduction summarizes the document. The repository’s protocol specification and implementation define the exact rules.
