The official Go implementation of the Zether blockchain protocol, designed to empower miners and drive decentralization in a fair and robust ecosystem. Zether leverages an aggressive tokenomics structure, EVM compatibility, and Ethash-based Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus, ensuring secure and decentralized operations.
- Decentralized: Built to support a fully decentralized, distributed network that promotes security and autonomy.
- Proof of Work: Utilizes Ethash, a battle-tested consensus mechanism ensuring network reliability and decentralization.
- Aggressive Tokenomics: High initial block rewards, decreasing over time, encourage long-term miner participation.
- EVM Compatibility: Supports the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), allowing seamless deployment of smart contracts and DApps.
- Fair Launch: No premine or instamine, ensuring equitable distribution from the genesis block.
- Low Transaction Fees: Minimal fees make interactions affordable and efficient for all users.
- No Uncle Rewards: Focus on main blocks only, simplifying incentives and enhancing network clarity.
Zether adopts a decreasing block reward system, incentivizing sustained engagement over time. Below is the reward schedule:
| Block Range | Reward per Block (ZTH) |
|---|---|
| 0 - 100,000 | 10,000 |
| 100,001 - 200,000 | 9,000 |
| 200,001 - 300,000 | 8,000 |
| 300,001 - 400,000 | 7,000 |
| 400,001 - 500,000 | 6,000 |
| 500,001 - 600,000 | 5,000 |
| 600,001 - 700,000 | 4,000 |
| 700,001 - 800,000 | 3,000 |
| 800,001 - 900,000 | 2,000 |
| 900,001 - 1,000,000 | 1,000 |
| ... | ... |
| 2,700,001 - onwards | 10 |
