Digital Gold Dust

Post-quantum blockchain with Kyber768 and Argon2id memory-hard PoW

Overview

Unchained, a permissionless blockchain that couples memory-hard proof-of-work with post-quantum (PQ) cryptography and an epoch-first issuance model. Time is divided into fixed-length epochs; miners submit coin candidates throughout an epoch using Argon2id. At the epoch boundary, the network finalizes an anchor that commits to up to N selected coins via a Merkle root, enabling independent verification and efficient synchronization. Receivers obtain privacy via Kyber768-based stealth receiving with one-time keys.
